Find Your Feelings Emotion Slider

Help children recognise and express their emotions with the Lakeshore Find Your Feelings Emotion Slider. This interactive, child-friendly tool is designed to support early emotional literacy and regulation. Featuring eight illustrated and labelled faces-ranging from happy and excited to sad and frustrated - children simply slide the pointer to the emotion that best matches how they're feeling.

Perfect for children aged 3 years and up, the Emotion Slider provides a simple, effective way for learners to communicate their emotional state, promoting self-awareness and social-emotional growth. Whether used during morning check-ins, transitions, or calm-down time, it supports valuable conversations about feelings while helping children regain focus and regulate behaviour. The sliding motion also encourages fine motor development, making this resource both engaging and educational. Durable and easy to use, this visual tool fits seamlessly into classroom routines, therapy settings, or home environments. An activity guide is included to help educators and carers introduce and reinforce emotion-based learning.
