16 Emotions Coloring Pages

Naming feelings is an important skill for young children. When kids can say I feel angry or I feel proud, they are better able to calm down, ask for help and understand others. These pages pair each emotion with an animal so feelings are easier to talk about. This set includes an angry cat, a calm owl, a content lion, a grumpy frog, a happy bear, a laughing elephant, a loving koala and a proud monkey, plus a cute emotions character. Parents and teachers can use them as conversation starters. Ask what the animal might be feeling, when your child has felt that way, and what helps when the feeling is big. Colors can match the mood too: red or orange for angry, soft blue or green for calm, yellow for happy and pink for love. Some kids like to color an emotion page when they need a quiet moment. These pages are useful in preschool, kindergarten and counseling settings.
