Emotions



Emotions: surprised, happy, sleepy, sad, silly and angry
I found that my son has picked up words for different emotions along the way but doesn’t always use them in the right way he’ll say sad for instance instead of mad.  So I came up with these puppets to help him learn the different emotions.  I wrote the emotion on the back and he had to find the mouth and eyes (eyebrows in some cases) that fit. 
It was a fun activity and we spent time putting on little 'plays' with the puppets.  The plays mostly consisted of him standing behind his puppet theatre saying I feel something and then finding the right puppet but he learned the right emotion words without realizing it. 
Time: 30 minutes

Cost: Under $5.00 (you probably have everything around the house)

Material:
·         Foam sheets (including black for the features)

·         Googly eyes

·         Popsicle sticks

·         Glue

·         Marker

Directions:
1.       Cut 6 large circles out of the foam sheets and glue a Popsicle stick on each one.

2.       Write an emotion on the back of each circle.

3.       Cut out a mouth and eyebrows (if necessary) specific to each emotion.

4.       One by one glue the eyes and mouth onto the circle to make each emotion.

Have fun!
