How Am I Feeling? Puppet (recognizing emotions)
Emotions are such an interesting thing. We can feel them much more strongly that we can even recognize them. Children, especially, can express themselves quite well, yet they can't quite pinpoint the name of the emotion that their feelings or necessarily figure out why they are feeling that particular emotion. Talk to your kiddo about emotions/feelings and what might cause them. Even make some faces together, noting some of the changes that actually occur on your face when you change emotion/expression.
Then, bring out your Emotion Puppet craft - a chance to cut out different facial features and turn them into a puppet! This is such a good opportunity to help a kiddo who might not be the best at identifying the emotions of others to get some practice and extra guidance. Have fun!
