Example: all 12 feeling cards on US Letter, with blanks to draw
For a calm-down corner: Cards to cut out, 12 feelings, pictures in colour, US Letter.
- Each card is 6 × 7.5 cm, about 2.4 × 3 inches: a round face with its name under it, three cards across on a dashed grid.
- Page 1 holds nine: happy, sad, angry, scared, surprised, calm, tired, excited and worried.
- Page 2 holds proud, shy and bored, then a row of three blank cards for the child to draw a feeling of their own.
