Makin' Faces Pineapple

The Makin' Faces Pineapple is a playful and engaging resource designed to help children explore emotions and self-expression through hands-on fun. This two-sided, tropical friend invites young learners to create a wide range of facial expressions using a variety of interchangeable mouths, eyes, eyebrows, and hands. Ideal for supporting early social-emotional development, the Makin' Faces Pineapple helps children recognise, name, and discuss feelings in themselves and others.

Children can build one or two faces at a time, encouraging comparison and conversation about different emotions. All of the pieces store neatly inside the pineapple - just lift the top off for easy pack away. The included guide offers practical tips for introducing social-emotional learning (SEL) concepts through interactive play.
