Feelings & Choices Flip Book 28 Emotions & Moods - ASD Friendly, Help Kids & Toddlers Identify Feelings and Positive Choices, Emotions Flash Card Alternative, Parents Teachers & Therapist (Emojis)

The Feelings and Choices Flip Book will be perfect for my K-2 students. The quality is great and will hold up for a long time. I love all the emotions and coping strategies! They are fun to look at and easy to understand. I can’t wait to use this bright, colorful resource with my students. I also plan to share this resource with the Social Emotional Learning Department in hopes to get it in more classrooms!!

There is much to love about this resource! First, the book is easily transportable and convenient to use in its flip-book format. It is able to stand without needing to be propped against something and functional at the same time. Inside, the pictures are eye-catching and engaging to students. Children are able to learn about their feelings and coping strategies to manage their emotions. In addition, children learn more about the many different feelings they may be experiencing besides just happy, sad, mad, etc. The print is easy to read AND fun! This book is a wonderful resource to use for SEL in a whole group, small group, and in my calm down corner. I’m excited about using this resource this year in my classroom and with my personal children. I highly recommend this resource for anyone who is around children to help them understand their emotions and that they are absolutely normal to feel.

Here is my first impression: The packaging and product was definitely made with kids in mind. The monsters remind me of the monsters in classdojo, a behavior management app I’ve used before with my students. They aren’t too masculine or feminine so it’d be good with any gender. The back of the box has enough information to make me feel prepared and optimistic using this tool. The flipbook feels like the perfect size for both adult and child to use. I love that it is able to fold and stand on top of a table. I am imagining this book being at my calming corner, on top of a desk or table, and among other items to help a student relax. Another little detail I like are the laminated pages, which helps relieve my fear of water and germs ruining the book over time. I also appreciate the synonyms on the bottom of the pages because that would be a good way to incorporate teaching opposites for my kindergarteners. The book feels like it could be picked up by any child to use since emotions and actions can be easily identified just by looking, even if the child cannot read or express his/herself verbally. Seems helpful for students with ASD. I also felt the colors chosen for each monster’s emotions made sense for me since I do associate blue with feelings similar to sadness, green with happiness, yellow with anxiety, and red with anger. Overall I am excited to use this tool in my kindergarten classroom this upcoming fall!

Very good quality. Interesting material to help kids identify their emotions. We just got ours and my daughter was excited because the monsters remind her of a book she has (The Color Monster) that also talks about feelings.

I was so excited to receive the book because I loved the tool and all the resources in the book. My school uses Zones of Regulation and this book matches the colors and emotions perfectly. So it’s a great tool. I currently have it in my refocus center for students to look through and use. The one suggestion I have found so far is that it would be nice to have all the same colors together. My students know what color/zone they are feeling but they are working on naming the emotion, what it means, and the tools. So if they were grouped by color they could turn to the color they know they are in and then search for the exact emotion that matches them. I feel like this would be less overwhelming and more helpful for my students. Overall though my first impressions is that I love this resource! It is a great tool for me and my students. I’m excited to teach it to my students and incorporate it more into their lessons and daily routines!

I just purchased this as I am hoping it is helpful in helping kids find healthy outlets. I have not used it with any student yet, so I don't know how valuable the kids will feel that it is. The packaging of my product was awful, the box it comes in was damaged and open which left the book floating around. Overall, it's a cute book but several of the feelings that go together list many of the same outlets for students to use, which for me was disappointing. Yes, these are useful and things kids can do but I was hoping for a variety of supports to be listed.

Upon opening it, it was very inviting and kid friendly. The illustrations are absolutely adorable and the examples given on the backside of what the students can do to support themselves is very important, especially to students who may have trouble determining what strategy can work best. At the school that I teach at, we use Second Step Curriculum, and I will be planning on using this as an extra resource with that, as well as incorporating it in my cool down/independent area in my classroom. I really like that the emotions pair up really well with zones of proximity, which I use in my classroom as well. I think that students with ASD will be able to relate to it, and feel like they can better identify their emotions and use some of the strategies on the back to help.

Socio-emotional intelligence is so important and often ignored in a traditional classroom. I plan to use this book with my kindergarten class during morning meeting each day to talk about feelings. Every morning we ask them how they are feeling and generally I get a bunch of children answering “good”. This will help us to expand our feelings vocabulary. I have an inclusion classroom and I think my students with special needs (and really all of the students) will benefit from the pictures. They are fun and colorful. I especially like that on the back of each feeling they provide the children with coping strategies in a way that my prereaders can understand. I can’t wait to start using it in the new school year!
