Maxi stamps “10 Emotions”

🎯 Today I feel… stamp! “Maxi stamps: 10 emotions” – ten large wooden stamps showing the basic emotions: happiness, confidence, admiration, curiosity, surprise, anger, disgust, sadness, fear and guilt. Here emotions are not only talked about – they are stamped, drawn and invented, so a conversation about feelings turns into a creative game.

✨ What does this aid develop?

• Emotional intelligence – recognising and naming 10 basic emotions;
• Self-expression – the child can show a feeling while it is still hard to put into words;
• Fine motor skills – stamping teaches children to judge how much force the hand needs;
• Creativity – the stamps become characters in drawings and stories.

🎲 How to play at home

Stamp the emotion of the day into a “mood diary”, make up stories in which the characters’ feelings change, or answer the question “how are you feeling?” with a picture. The stamps work with any ink or ink pad, so they suit drawing evenings and card making alike. Little by little your child will learn not only to stamp feelings but to name them.

🧑‍🏫 Tips for specialists

For psychologists and speech and language therapists the stamps are a convenient alternative when a child finds it hard to talk about feelings directly: the emotion goes onto the paper first, and only then is it discussed. They suit emotion diaries, work with behavioural difficulties and group rituals (“mark how you arrived – and how you are leaving”). Wooden and sturdy – they will last a long time.

📦 What’s in the set

• 10 wooden stamps (4 cm in diameter, 3,5 cm high).
