Early Years Feelings Beach Ball

For Early Years Ages 2½ to 4. A 10-inch inflatable ball, with four feelings faces and space for children's selfies. Balls are always a favourite with young children, and ideal for facilitating social interaction as the ball is tossed or rolled between children or with an educator. Children need to pay attention to where their peer is in relation to self, and control their own body to make the connection, which is early practice for all later social interaction. The faces on the ball are an invitation to conversation about feelings, which can be as simple as labelling or mimicking, or more complex sharing of what might make one feel that way, as a prerequisite for perspective-taking.
