A card for every emotion with regulation strategies included. Designed for professionals and parent alike.
Children often don’t say "I feel anxious." What they say is that their tummy feels funny, or they don't want to go, or sometimes nothing at all. The Emps Emotion Cards give them visuals to help describe how they feel and strategies to try.
Bright, colourful and engaging. These cards are a simple but effective emotional development tool. Psychologically informed, they are serious enough to handle any emotion and small enough to carry in your bag or pocket. Take them with you everywhere you go!
63.5 × 88.5 mm. The same size as a standard deck of cards. keep them with you wherever you go, so The Emps can help you manage emotions at home, in the classroom, therapy room or anywhere you go.
If you are a professional these cards are brilliant for whole class. small group work, one-to-one work, ELSA and nurture sessions and calm corners. They are designed to support children to explore emotions and to teach emotional literacy in a fun and engaging way. They also work as visuals in any moment where a child has a feeling and no words for it.
If you are a parent or carer these cards are brilliant for supporting emotional development at home. They are a fun and engaging way to support children to talk about and develop their understanding of emotions. Use them for bedtime chats, the after-school decompress, when big emotions show up or when needed. They fit easily in any bag and can be taken anywhere!
Every card has two sides.
On the front, the Emp and why they might visit. "Fraggle visits when worries and 'What ifs' keep coming, even when we try to make them stop." Children recognise themselves in the statements immediately.
On the back, two things:
Recognise and Reassure : the body signals for that feeling, in a child's own words. "My tummy feels fluttery. My head feels spinny. Fraggle is visiting." Naming what's happening in the body is where regulation starts.
Disarming Steps for the tricky emotions: small, doable strategies like Butterfly Breathing or Five Colour Find. And for the gentler emotions, Treasure Tips: ways to notice joy and excitement and hold onto them. Because emotional literacy isn't only about managing the trickier emotions.
Scan and go deeper. Every card carries a QR code linking straight to that Emp's page on The Emps website with fact files, further strategies, and free resources. A card in a pocket, a whole library behind it.
