TOMY A Little Spot Mix and Match Kids' Craft Kit - Social Emotional Learning Activities - Sensory Play with Soft Felt Emotion Spots, Double-Sided Cards, and Easel - Based On The Books by Diane Alber

I loved the whole system of emotional faces, fabrics, and cutouts. Very fun and useful! Although I didn't use it for my purposes intended, it was well constructed, the colors vivid, and easy to assemble.

The Little Spots of Emotion have made a huge impact in my classroom and in turn our entire school and word continues to spread about them for social emotional skills. The Mix and Match Emotion Set is fantastic for many activities in the classroom from feelings check-ins to centers (morning work time, writing prompts, matching the faces, etc) to Peaceful Spots to help a child calm down and seriously so much more. My daughter thrives with the spots and had so much fun when I opened the box and let her play and mix up all of the faces. *there was a review about them not sticking. They stick with static with the felt. We had no issues getting them to stick and I actually appreciate that there isn’t Velcro or anything because I think it will make the product last!

I am a school social worker. I got the to use in my cross categorical classroom that I push into. All the kids in there have autism and are non verbal. Between using this to teach them basic emotions - angry, happy, and sad and your videos that they watch daily I am already seeing them begin to identify emotions to colors. Your stuff is truly incredible. I love that they match the face pieces to the spots to show emotions. Brilliant.

All in all, this item is pretty good. I use the Little Spot materials frequently for my counseling sessions with elementary aged children. While there are enough pieces of this to make the actual spots, my kids have been frustrated that there aren't enough pieces to make their own creations. There are 8 sets of eyes, but no eyebrows. Some of the eyes have attached eyebrows. Since the eyebrows are how we often tell the difference between emotions, it's hard to demonstrate this as I would have liked. There are 8 mouths, but again these specifically match the Little Spot mouths with no opportunity to create your own expressions. Of the mouths, only 3 or 4 look like mouths (the rest are just kind of blobs). I will probably try to find some thick black felt to make some additional pieces to make this item useful for multiple activities and not just recreating the same ones over and over.

Absolutely love all of the SPOT products and couldn't wait to get my hands on this! As a teacher and parents I am always looking for east and kid friendly activities, that are also engaging and don't involve screen time. This ticks all the boxes! The pieces are easily interchangeable and work like a felt board. No sticky mess which is another win! Already ordered my second set so I can have one at home and school! 😊
