Emotions Coloring Pages – Help Kids With Feelings

We’re back with another year of monthly coloring pages from children’s book author and illustrator Melanie Hope Greenberg.  These two emotions coloring pages are a good tool to help kids talk about their feelings. Or, even if your kids don’t like to spend hours discussing their emotional state (mine are pretty tight-lipped), they can at least get their brains thinking about it silently.

Melanie is sharing two feelings coloring pages this month. One is blank so kids can draw in the faces, themselves. Emotional Intelligence, or “EQ” is a big deal for kids and finding tools to help kids understand their own emotional life as well as “read” the feelings of others is just as important for success as academic and intellectual learning. Print out these pages and use them as a talking tool using one of the suggestions below.

These coloring pages have so much potential for learning activities: 

• Cut them out and use them as story starters.
• Cut them out, put in a jar and draw one out as talking point.  For example, “What surprised you today?”
• Have the child fill in the blank faces and then ask him to describe what happened to each person to make them feel that way.
• Children can draw their own versions of each face on the blank faces, cut them out and use as a memory matching game.
• Use them in conjunction with Melanie’s multicultural children coloring page to discuss diversity and tolerance.
• Color, cut and attach each head to a wooden craft stick to create puppets.

How will you use the emotions coloring pages??
