LOOSH Big Feelings Flashcard Activity

Explain each emotion to your toddler. Show them the relevant facial expressions and ask them to mirror you. Even more fun to do this together in front of a mirror.

Pair each feeling and facial expression with a sound where possible. For example, HAPPY = Yay! or Sad = Ohhhh Noo!
Overtime, teach your toddler how to match each feeling with the relevant scenario and eventually to match opposite feelings to each other. Talk through different scenarios where those feelings arise especially in their lives and how to address them, including celebrating the positive ones and learning to regulate during the tough ones.
