Emotions and Expressions Fan – A Handy Tool for Talking Feelings

The Emotions and Expressions Fan is a small yet powerful support tool that helps children and young people identify, express, and scale their emotions. Perfect for use in sensory rooms, classrooms, home learning spaces, and therapeutic environments, this colourful three-petal fan promotes emotional awareness in a calm, approachable way.

Each petal displays expressive faces and a colour-coded scale to help individuals show not just what they're feeling, but how strongly they're feeling it – from calm and happy greens to angry and upset reds. Whether you're working with a child on a tricky task, checking in during a transition, or supporting emotional regulation, this fan becomes a simple, non-verbal way to communicate big feelings.

Designed by The Play Doctors and suitable for supported use, the Emotions and Expressions Fan is a brilliant resource for educators, parents, SEN professionals, and therapists alike.
