20 Feelings and Emotions Coloring Pages

How to Use These Feelings Coloring Pages

Preschool and elementary teachers can start the day with a check-in: each child colors the Today I Am Feeling page and draws a face in the empty circle, or points to a face on the feelings chart or the feelings wheel. In a calm-down corner, the feelings thermometer, the Take a Deep Breath page and the coping skills chart sit next to each other, so a child can see how big the feeling is and pick something to try.

School counselors and therapists who work with children can use the anger volcano to talk about how anger grows from calm to rumbling to erupting, and the scenes as conversation starters: what happened right before the girl felt worried, or what the boy with the tangled yarn could do next. Coloring gives small hands something to do while the talking happens.

At home, families can print the single big faces for toddlers and preschoolers who are just learning the words for feelings, and hang the proud page on the fridge after a hard day that went well.

For young children who are also learning their letters, try our alphabet coloring pages. For breathing pages, kind words and mandalas for older kids, teens and adults, see our mental health and mindfulness coloring pages.
