Feelings & Emotions Sorting Boxes – Emotional Literacy & PSED Learning Resource
Big feelings, little discoveries – helping children make sense of emotions! 💛
Help children explore the wonderful world of feelings with our Feelings & Emotions Sorting resource, an engaging, hands-on activity designed to encourage emotional awareness, communication and social understanding through play.
Understanding emotions is an important part of growing up, but recognising and expressing how we feel isn't always easy. This interactive sorting activity provides a fun and meaningful way for children to explore different emotions, recognise visual clues and begin to understand the feelings they experience in everyday life.
By identifying, comparing and sorting emotions, children can develop their emotional vocabulary, practice recognising expressions and explore how different situations might make people feel.
Perfect for early years classrooms, primary schools, SEN settings, nurture groups, therapy sessions and home, Feelings & Emotions Sorting offers a supportive approach to personal, social and emotional development.
More Than Just a Sorting Activity!
At Explore Your Senses, we understand that recognising emotions and communicating feelings are essential skills that develop at different rates for every child.
Some children find it easy to explain how they're feeling, while others may struggle to find the right words or interpret emotional expressions.
Our Feelings & Emotions Sorting resource offers a visual, practical approach to exploring emotions, allowing children to engage with the subject through an enjoyable activity rather than relying entirely on conversation.
As children sort and categorise different feelings, they're encouraged to observe, compare, make decisions and explain their thinking.
It also provides opportunities to introduce conversations about how emotions can change, how different people may react to the same situation and why every feeling deserves to be acknowledged.

Supporting Emotional Understanding in SEN & Early Years Settings
The Feelings & Emotions Sorting resource may be particularly useful for children with autism, ADHD, speech and language differences or additional learning needs who benefit from visual prompts and structured learning activities.
It offers opportunities to explore emotions in a clear, practical way, helping children build confidence with emotional vocabulary and communication at their own pace.
For children who find it difficult to discuss their own feelings directly, sorting and identifying emotions can provide a gentler starting point for conversation.
Adults can extend the activity with simple questions such as:
-
What feeling do you think this represents?
-
What clues helped you decide?
-
When might someone feel this way?
-
Can two people feel differently about the same situation?
-
What could help someone who is feeling upset or worried?
The resource also complements wider emotional regulation activities, helping children develop the language and understanding to recognise their emotions and communicate their needs.
Whether used during circle time, one-to-one support, nurture sessions or classroom activities, Feelings & Emotions Sorting encourages children to explore the important message that all feelings are valid, and it's okay to experience different emotions.
At Explore Your Senses, we believe that helping children understand their emotions is an important part of supporting confidence, communication and positive relationships.
Sort, discover, understand – because every feeling matters! 💛
Please note: Adult guidance is recommended when exploring emotional concepts. Encourage open discussion and recognise that facial expressions and emotional responses can vary between individuals. Follow the manufacturer's age and safety guidance.

Absolutely love this. My children are so excited everyday to see what’s happening next (as am I ) unfortunately only 3 of our 5 caterpillars survived the delivery journey which was a shame. But the 3 we have are amazing ! Will definitely be doing this again next year !
Really good and durable even for the strongest teeth 💙🧩
Ark's Chewy Flower Wand - available in 3 colours & strengths
Absolutely fantastic range of products in the dark den kit . Really good quality . Excellent customer service, fast and efficient dispatch and delivery. I have one very happy wee boy. I cannot fault the company or products and will be using them again in future.
My great grandaughter Betsy loved it .its her favorite toy at school , so I brought her one for her home for her 4th birthday .
It vibrates very strongly. I use it to massage my daughter. I'm happy with it.
This jellyfish has been played with by everyone who has seen it...it's only the middle of the body that glows, but nice feeling and quite strong pullable tentacles.
My grandson loves it plays with all the time
Making a Christmas tree for my cats
Fabulous bag, we have 3 kids in the family who struggle to keep attention on specific items. These toys help keep their focus for a good time period. The buttons to work the lights also help them with their hand to eye coordination
Materials used are great, especially as my wee boy is an oral sensory seeker and bites everything. Fruit and veg hold up well against this without losing shape. Baskets are also very sturdy, unlike most retail brands where they snap and bend easily
This is a Christmas present for my autistic grandson, I have tried it and it’s working great.
It wasnt what we were expecting and my grandaughter was disappointed and it is now sitting in a corner untouched. Expensive as well.

Store owner replied: hello, I do wish you had contacted us before review status. we pride ourselves in customer service. you are welcome to return? we appreciate not every product suits everyone. get in touch.
The thing was faulty and continued to make sounds without the buttons being pressed.
Store owner replied: We pride ourselves in our customer service. We cant see you have been in touch with us?? If you email us, we can replace or arrange it coming back for a refund but are unable to see your order via the review.
Very helpful and fast communication
Great value for money and easy to use. Very handy to have and use as part of portable sensory kit.

Very useful tool for teething.
Grandson loves the vibration and feel would reorder again
The cushion and bee are for my grandson who has polymicrogira, partial corpus collasum, cerebral palsy, Epilepsy, autism and a heap more. The vibrating products are excellent for him and the switch activation helps to teach him.

Bought it for my grandaughter and she absolutely loves it she finds it so relaxing and uses it for hours would definitely recommend it
A little bit stiff, so you can only realistically get three notes, but really good price! Thank you :-)
Our grandson loved this. He enjoyed expanding and contacting it, which he found relaxing and comforting to do. He thought it was really cool. I have used these for years in an education setting, they are always very popular with the children.
Excellent service and product
I bought these for grandchildren of different ages and they have been a great success . I would Recommend them.
Quick delivery and great communication.Love this product. Highly recommend.
This gel/spray/goop is brilliant!
Was expecting more for the price
Product is great. Took a bit of time getting it to work as the end just had to be screwed on quite tightly. My daughter is a bit unsure about it but still a good product overall.
My daughter loves the feel of the sequins. I like that it’s weighted to offer a bit more comfort to her.
this is amazing - we all really loved the sensory foam
this is a favourite with the children
really supported our core word use
