Every feeling deserves to be understood. For some children, knowing how they feel is difficult enough. Finding the words to explain those feelings can be even harder. The Visual Emotion Communication Tag Set provides a simple, tactile way for children to identify and communicate five common emotions using clear visual symbols. Whether they're feeling happy, sad, worried, excited or overwhelmed, these durable tags help children express themselves without needing to find the perfect words. The set includes five colour-coded, 3D-printed emotion tags designed for everyday communication at home, school and on the go. Perfect for children who benefit from visual communication, these portable emotion tags can be clipped onto a backpack, lanyard or keyring so emotional support is always close by. 💜 Why Thrive Recommends It At Thrive Creations, we only recommend products that we genuinely believe could make life a little easier for SEN families.
