How this product aligns with the EYLF

Building language, imagination, and social skills
The Feelings & Emotions Flashcards serve as a valuable resource for enhancing children’s emotional vocabulary and conversational abilities. By engaging in discussions about different emotions, children can articulate their feelings and learn to empathise with others, fostering social connections and communication skills.

Encouraging wellbeing, comfort, and independence
This resource supports children’s emotional development by providing a visual aid for recognising and expressing feelings. As children identify and discuss their emotions, they build a sense of self-awareness and comfort in expressing their feelings, which is essential for their overall wellbeing and independence.

Relevant EYLF Outcomes

Outcome 2: Children are connected with and contribute to their world
