I do foster care and having a diverse home finding multicultural items is a must. We thrive for language immersion, emotional well being and cultural representation and this hits all of the above. Currently a child cared for finds visual representation in this and loves the Spanish language and has expressed interest in learning such. As for what each emotion indicated they have renamed the emotions to discuss how they truly feel vs the words displayed which had proven to be a great start in explaining and identifying their feelings for them selves and those around them.
I bought this for my classroom but it's smaller than I realized and it's a magnet (I didn't realize that). I was going to return but missed the return date. I decided instead to use it myself and put on my refrigerator. It is so cute and I've been using it every morning to think about how important feeling for the day. You can move the square over her emotion. Very cute. I need to find a similar poster that's large for my classroom.
My son is 8 years old and he's not always as verbal with his feelings. When I ask "how was your day?", he provides the genetic "fine" after school.However, within one day of using this magnet, he has changed the marker to represent how he feels multiple times throughout the day. It's a great communication tool for our young boys who struggle to find their voice. Highly recommend!
I love it! I gave it as a gift to some friends at work and I also have one by my desk. It’s a nice, fun thing to do at work.
