Support your child’s social-emotional learning through joyful, play-based experiences with our Emotions Finger Puppets (Set of 5). Designed for the Foundational Stage (Balvatika), these soft felt puppets help children recognise, name, and express feelings in a safe and engaging way—through storytelling, role-play, circle time conversations, and everyday classroom routines.
Aligned with NEP 2020 and NCF-FS, this set encourages learning through interaction and meaningful play, making it a perfect resource for preschools, daycares, early grades, therapy sessions, and home learning.
Why this set is essential for Balvatika classrooms
Children in the early years often feel big emotions but struggle to explain them. These puppets give them a playful tool to communicate, helping teachers and parents guide children gently toward emotional awareness and positive behaviour.
