eeBoo How am I Feeling Flash Cards, Emotion Conversation Cards

My autistic granddaughter is very into emotions. She will sit on my lap while she names the emotions in the book.

I wouldn't have purchased it if I had seen all of the expressions carved into the vegetables--particularly the onions, which are supposed to be happy but end up looking rather scary. I'm really liking the two other purchases I got at the same time though from the same company, What's Going on Here? Conversation Cards and Good Manners Conversation Cards. However, the cards *are* really good for learning a lot of different vocabulary to describe feelings. My child asked me what a lot of the words meant--but also seemed intuitively to know which answer was correct for the fruit or vegetable--even--usually--with the scary-looking ones that were supposed to be happy.

I’m a children’s therapist and bought these for practicing emotional literacy and inference with kiddos who struggle in this area. The pics are hilarious, and using fruit eliminates the cultural relevancy piece. Some of the feeling words used in the prompt questions on the back aren’t quite appropriate level for all my clients, but it’s easy enough to substitute them out (ie sad for depressed). I am very happy with this purchase!

Great conversation openers for my speech and language students! It’s nice to add some humor to our sessions with these cards.

I like the fruit rather than people visuals. This creates more flexibility and use for counseling.
