Heartfelt Primary Emotion Card Deck
Feelings don’t wait for the right moment. This deck helps children name them anyway.
The Heartfelt Primary Emotion Card Deck includes 18 physical cards, each representing a distinct emotion. Designed for children ages 18 months to 4 years, the cards give children a concrete way to identify and communicate what they’re feeling — no words required.
Each card is built for how children actually play and learn:
Diverse, vibrant characters — the front of every card features an active character displaying the emotion, so children see themselves and others reflected in what they feel
Simple emotion definition — a clear, child-friendly explanation of what the emotion means sits right on the front, no guessing required
Rounded edges — safe for little hands, designed to be held, carried, and used freely
Durable card stock — made to survive real use by real children and still come back intact
Flip the card over and there’s even more:
When you might feel this — real examples of moments when that emotion tends to show up
Try this — practical, age-appropriate suggestions for how to respond to or move through that emotion
Use them on their own, place them on the Heartfelt Primary Magnetic Mood Board, or incorporate them into daily routines, storytime, and calm corner setups at home. Works for verbal and nonverbal children.
This isn’t about drilling emotions. It’s about giving children the language to express who they are on the inside.
What’s included: 18 physical emotion cards
Ages: Designed for ages 18 months to 4 years, useful well beyond.
