Playdough Emotion Face Templates

Transform your early years provision with this hands-on EYFS Emotion Faces Playdough Resource. Perfect for continuous provision, small-group interventions or personal, social, and emotional development (PSED) focus areas, this inclusive pack enables young children to explore, understand and articulate their feelings through meaningful sensory play. As children roll, squish and shape playdough to craft expressive facial features, they develop crucial fine motor strength and dexterity required for early writing. The accessible mats feature a diverse array of face outlines, ensuring every child feels represented and included. Clear visual cues make the resource simple to navigate independently while naturally prompting rich, quality interactions between practitioners and peers. Great for developing naming of body parts and identifying what they help us to do.By normalising conversations around emotions, this low-prep, laminatable resource empowers children to recognise core feelings—from happiness to worry—building self-awareness and empathy in an engaging, accessible way.
