Desk Emotion Buddies: Education & Decor Series

Meet the Emotion Buddies! This is a series of figures designed to make feelings visible and discussable in a fun way. Each figure stands on an separate display plate to show the emotion, making it a perfect tool for classrooms or as an addition to any workspace.

⚠️ Project Status: Currently, the Happy (Yellow), Angry (Red), Calm (Green) and Tired (Purple) Buddies are the first ones that are available. The other emotions listed below will be added to the collection in the coming period!

Educational Use in the Classroom

These buddies are a good non-verbal communication tool for teachers and students.

• Mood Tracking: Give each student a set. They can place the buddy that matches their current mood on the corner of their desk.
• Safe Expression: Helps children who find it difficult to express their feelings verbally to show if they are feeling "Sad," "Angry," or "Tired".

• Empathy Building: A great way to start morning circles and discuss how everyone is doing.
