If your child is getting to an age that they are beginning to read, they are probably also beginning to develop the social skill of at least recognizing the emotions of other people.

Whether your child is struggling with finding words to describe their emotions or those of others, a free printable like this one is a great way to help them learn those words.

MAKING MY BOOK OF FEELINGS

This book is entirely free to download, so once you’ve done so print it on standard 8.5”x11” printer paper.

It will take six pages to print the entire book, so make sure to print one copy per number of books you need. When the book is printed, you will need to cut along the black lines on each page.

Stack the pages in order, so that the page on the top is the title page, “My Book of Feelings”.

There are a few ways that you can set it up from here, depending on how you want the bind of the book to be.

First way — To create your bind, simply staple the book on the top or left side, stapling two times, a few inches apart.
Second way — Use a hole punch on the top or left side, spacing the hole punches a few inches apart. Using a piece of string or yarn, pull it through one hole and tie a knot. Do the same for the second hole.

Either way you have bound the book, your child can now turn the pages without the book falling apart.
