Designed for education professionals, SENCOs, teaching staff and parents, these Little Star emotion tags provide a simple, accessible way to help children identify and communicate how they are feeling.
Inspired by the well-established Zones of Regulation framework, the tags use familiar colours alongside clear emotional vocabulary to provide children with a visual and tactile prompt for starting conversations about their feelings.
The set includes four key emotions — Happy, Sad, Worried and Angry — with each emotion matched to its associated colour within the Zones of Regulation approach.
Attached to a keychain or lanyard, the tags are small enough to keep close at hand throughout the school day, making them particularly useful during moments when a child may find it difficult to verbally explain how they are feeling.
Simply offering the tags and asking a child to choose the star that best represents how they feel can provide a low-pressure starting point for communication. They can then be used to explore why the child feels that way and, importantly, what they might need.
