Giant Emotions Fishing Set | Eco-Friendly Social-Emotional Learning Game
The Giant Emotions Fishing Set is a fun, interactive resource designed to support social-emotional learning (SEL) in early childhood classrooms. Ideal for toddlers and preschoolers ages 2 and up, this 21-piece set combines active play with emotional awareness, helping young learners recognize and name a wide range of feelings in themselves and others. Children use the two sturdy fishing rods (27.5 inches long) to “catch” large expression discs—each featuring a different facial expression—then identify and discuss the emotion they’ve picked.
The set includes 18 durable HDPE plastic discs (approximately 8 inches in diameter), featuring six different facial expressions in three inclusive skin tones, promoting representation and empathy. The oversized discs and fishing rods are perfectly sized for little hands, making the activity accessible and engaging for young learners while also encouraging the development of hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills.
This eco-friendly set comes complete with a convenient storage bag, making cleanup and transport easy for busy classrooms. Whether used in circle time, SEL centers, or small group instruction, the Giant Emotions Fishing Set is a powerful tool for teaching emotional literacy, encouraging cooperative play, and supporting inclusive, developmentally appropriate learning. It’s a must-have resource for early educators focused on whole-child development.
