Stages: Emotion Cards

Winner of the Tillywig Toy Awards and Family Choice Awards, Stages: Emotion Cards will help your pre-K student identify and discuss feelings and emotions. 


Emotion Cards provide parents a systematic way to develop emotional intelligence in their children. These cards will give you an organic way to foster discussions about a range of emotions, why the people feel that way, and the appropriate and inappropriate responses to these feelings.


For your convenience, suggested conversation starters specific to each scenario are on the back of the cards. An activity booklet provides detailed instruction ideas on building emotional awareness and social skills.

”This card set is more of a tool than a game, although my kids and grandkids quickly improvised a few games of their own.”

Great Tools for My Kids

These cards were amazing at helping my kids understand not only their own emotions, but emotions of the people around them. The visuals are great at making it clear and easy to comprehend for younger learners. I can't wait to use them again for my thrid!

Nice, but not worth the price

So, I really do like that the cards use real people of various ages, sexes and ethnicities to express emotions. I'm happy that there are situation cards that show people in situations that can be discussed, not JUST faces with emotion. I *really* like that there are conversation starters and talking points on the back of the card to foster discussions of emotional intelligence.

That being said, I have a few criticisms of the emotion cards. The first is the cards are a bit flimsy. They are easily bent and/or ripped in the hands of a clumsy or distracted child. The second is that there are soooo many repeats of the exact same emotion. I'd have been happy with 2-3 cards per emotion, but there is much more than that. My preschooler was initially excited and quite taken by the emotion cards but is now thoroughly bored with them because of how many repeat cards there are.

In short I think the concept is good, but needs some pruning and they are certainly WAY too expensive for what they actually are. These emotion cards aren't awful, but they aren't that great either. The phrase "so close but yet so far" comes to mind.

Just Okay

While these can be helpful in teaching, or reinforcing emotions, I just found them a bit too pricey for the amount of cards. I did like that it showed actual people, but the cards repeated some of the emotions too many times, especially back to back.

great way to teach emotions

we love this work because it's great to discuss different emotions. it's also great to help with sorting different emotions and colors. We started to use these about a month in.

Emotion resource

These cards were well received by my preschooler initially, but they have not continued to be a welcomed activity. The facial expressions are wonderful, great for sorting, and talking about what the person might be feeling. I hope to bring these out for discussion again in time, as it is an excellent resource and quality product.
