Excellerations® Mental Health Materials for the Classroom

Excellerations® Mental Health products, such as the 18″ Emotions Dolls and Emotion Puzzles for Toddlers, are commonly used in classrooms to support social emotional learning and language development. The plush dolls, expressing emotions like sadness, fear, anger, happiness, shyness, peacefulness, surprise, and disgust, help students identify and understand their emotions and those of others. These dolls are great for discussions in both English and Spanish, making them valuable for bilingual education. The realistic emotion puzzles, featuring photos of children, aid toddlers in recognizing facial expressions and understanding body language, providing a hands-on approach to emotional intelligence.

When considering the purchase of Excellerations® Mental Health products for school use, teachers should keep in mind the specific needs of their students, including those with special needs like ADHD or autism. These products are designed to foster emotional recognition and empathy through relatable facial expressions and culturally diverse characters. It’s essential to evaluate the materials for durability and ease of cleaning, as items like the plush dolls are machine washable, ensuring longevity and hygiene. Additionally, products with bilingual features can be highly beneficial in a diverse classroom setting, promoting inclusiveness and language learning simultaneously.

Students can use Excellerations® Mental Health products in school to better understand and express their emotions. The 18″ Emotions Dolls and Emotion Puzzles provide a tactile and visual way for children to connect their feelings with those of others, aiding in emotional management and empathy.
