Understanding Feelings Light Table Set

The Understanding Feelings Light Table Set by Commotion is a thoughtful educational resource designed to support emotional literacy and social communication in early learning environments. Created for children aged 3 years and over, this comprehensive set helps learners recognise, explore and express a wide range of emotions through hands-on, visual and reflective play. This resource supports inclusive learning by engaging visual, kinaesthetic and reflective learners, helping to build empathy, vocabulary, and confidence when talking about emotions.

The set includes 13 transparent acetate faces showing distinct emotional expressions, ideal for use on tables, windows, or light panels. Children can match, compare and discuss feelings while referencing the included A3 poster, which serves as a visual key. Three blank white face-shaped boards allow for dry wipe drawing, encouraging creative expression and observation. Also included are three clear acetate faces for customisation and three mirrored faces that give learners a chance to observe their own expressions.

Includes: 13 acetate expression faces, 3 blank white dry wipe boards, 3 blank acetate faces, 3 face-shaped mirrors, A3 poster and teacher's guide
