I have used the Gel-Bead Emotion Friends with children that I work with as young as 1 and 2 years old, and they love them! They love being able to squeeze them in their hands as well as identify the emotions that are being shown! Great for sensory and emotional exploration!

My grand daughter loves these. Make more with the different emotions!

bought these for my 2 and 4 year old for our calmdown area at our home. we talk about what emotion or color we are feeling and these are fun to feel and play with. both my kids like them.

My 3 year old daughter has enjoyed these and grabbing them when she needs to help explain how she feels. Have held up well!

My students with autism that are non-speaking really enjoy these. It has helped them communicate their emotions and support their sensory needs.

loved these emotions hopefully they bring oot more eotions, they really help with my autistic son when he has tantrums he likes to hold them and holds in front of his face to let me know that how he feels.

My kids love these, great sensory input and fun way to teach emotion recognition.

Hands down one of the favorite calming corner faves! The kids l9be to squeeze it while talking about which ones match their mood!

This item is a great hit for kids in expressing their feelings to one another while knowing it’s ok to have a bad day.

My son really likes having these in his calm down corner and I like that they are thick and will hold up. He can pick the emotion he is feeling and we talk about it while he squeezes. He always ends up with the happy one by the end!
