Wooden Emotions Steering Wheel | Hands-On Feelings & Self-Regulation Toy
Take the driver’s seat on an emotional learning journey with the Wooden Emotions Steering Wheel! Designed for children ages 2 years and up, this beautifully crafted wooden toy helps little ones explore, identify, and express their feelings through fun, hands-on play.
As kids “steer” their wheel toward different emotions, they begin to understand how feelings change throughout the day—building self-awareness, empathy, and emotional regulation skills. Perfect for toddlers and preschoolers, this interactive toy encourages open-ended play while strengthening fine motor coordination and language development.
Made from high-quality, child-safe wood, the Wooden Emotions Steering Wheel features smooth edges, colorful illustrations, and durable construction designed to last through daily classroom or home use. Educators and parents can use it as part of social-emotional learning (SEL) lessons, morning routines, or calm-down corner activities.
Whether children are steering toward “happy,” “sad,” or “excited,” this engaging tool helps them navigate emotions with confidence and curiosity. The Wooden Emotions Steering Wheel transforms emotional learning into a joyful adventure—putting kids in control of their feelings, one turn at a time!
