Orange feels tired
Yellow feels happy
Green feels unwell
Blue feels sad

Children quickly get to know the characters and start using them to describe their own feelings. “I’m feeling a bit Pink today” can open up a conversation that might otherwise never happen.
What children learn
Recognising and naming their feelings
Spotting the clues before feelings get too BIG
Understanding that all feelings are normal and OK
Telling a grown-up how they feel, even when words are hard
Listening to others and showing empathy
Simple ways to manage BIG feelings
Why it works
When feelings have a colour and a friendly face, they become less frightening and much easier to talk about. Using the posters, cards, faces and game together gives children lots of different ways to explore their feelings: looking, pointing, playing and talking. It follows the same approach we use in our Feelings Detective® programme, workshops and school curriculum, helping to make BIG feelings child-sized.
Perfect for
Parents and carers
Classrooms, nurseries and early years settings
Calm corners and quiet spaces
Nurture groups and SEN settings
Counsellors, therapists and play workers
Childminders, tutors and home educators
Suitable for ages 4–11 (posters and feelings faces from age 3)
