This second edition continues to provide a tool to consider and discuss a multitude of emotions. The cards cover the entire range of emotions identified within Plutchik’s Wheel of Emotions.
Blobs can be used to discuss issues in a deep, meaningful way that can be understood by adults and children alike.
The groups of Blobs on these cards are acting in many familiar ‘human’ ways:
- Celebrating
- Worrying
- Feeling left out
- Supporting each other.
The accompanying activity cards suggest several different ways of using the cards with individuals or groups to initiate discussion and reflection around emotions.
48 colour flashcards, with guidance for use
