Your students will love using their creativity and fine motor skills to demonstrate     emotions using this cute play dough mat. Simply laminate, cut out the emotion cards and let the creativity begin. 

Implementation Ideas/Suggestions

• After discussing the different emotions, the students can demonstrate this understanding in a creative way using play dough.
• Once the mat and picture cards have been laminated and cut out, the students can place one picture card in the box and then create that emotion using play dough.
• You can print multiple copies of the mat to have a group of students creating with play dough at the same time.

This resource makes up part of the overall Your Teacher’s Pet Creature Emotional Regulation approach to introducing self-regulation skills. While it works great on its own we always recommend pairing it with a Your Teacher's Pet Creature and our other related resources.
