These Shark Feelings and Emotions Posters are a fun way to reinforce feelings and emotions with your preschooler.
The friendly sharks make it easy for kids to get excited about interacting with them, and giving children several ways to identify their feelings is essential for social emotional learning.

What You Need for the Shark Feelings Poster
How to Use the Shark Feelings Poster
Step 1: Print on cardstock
Print each page. I recommend cardstock so the set lasts.
Step 2: Laminate and cut
Laminate the pages and cut out the flashcards. I have three children, so these get a lot of use!
Step 3: Show how it works
Demonstrate how to add a flashcard to the middle of the poster to show an emotion.
Step 4: Hand it over
Give the flashcards to your child and see what they do. Even kids who aren’t talking about feelings yet can point to how they feel.
What’s Included
A five-page full-color PDF with one poster (or worksheet) and emotion flashcards that fit in the middle. Included emotions: tired, mad, silly, sad, happy, excited, funny and nervous.
