The Giant Emotions Fishing Set is a playful and inclusive way to help children explore and express their feelings while strengthening physical and social development. This oversized fishing game encourages children to identify emotions through facial expressions, sparking meaningful conversations about empathy, emotional wellbeing, and inclusion. The emotion discs feature one of six key emotional expressions - happy, sad, angry, upset, worried, and surprised, represented across three skin tones. Children use the two large fishing rods to hook and retrieve the discs, identifying the emotions they catch and discussing how those feelings might look, sound, or feel in real life.
This activity blends early social-emotional learning with motor skill development, making it ideal for both individual and collaborative play. The mix of skin tones provides an authentic and thoughtful representation of diversity, reinforcing the values of equality and belonging in early childhood environments.

- 18 HDPE expression discs (each approx. 20 cm in diameter)
