— Dr. Anton & Dr. Rebecca, ThinkPsych founders

How to use

  • At Home
  • In Therapy
  • In the Classroom

Put the Feelings Clock Puzzle out during play time and let your child explore it freely at first. Then name the emotions as they place each piece: that's surprised, that's happy, that's angry.

Return to it regularly. Young children build emotional vocabulary through repetition, and a puzzle they love to do gives you dozens of natural opportunities to practice together.

Use the Feelings Clock Puzzle as a warm-up or rapport-building activity at the start of a session. The hands-on format keeps young children engaged while you teach emotion recognition and vocabulary.

Works well in play therapy, early intervention, and social skills sessions with children ages 3 and up. The clock hands are especially useful for children who struggle to verbalize their feelings. Pointing to an emotion is often the first step toward being able to talk about it.

Place the Feelings Clock Puzzle in your sensory or emotion learning center. Children can work on it independently or in pairs, and the clock format naturally invites conversation about which emotion each piece shows.

A natural anchor for feelings-themed units in PreK and kindergarten classrooms. The clock hands give children a concrete way to check in about feelings, and the puzzle format means they keep coming back to it on their own.

FAQ

What ages is this for?

The Feelings Clock Puzzle is designed for ages 3 and up. It introduces emotional vocabulary to preschoolers and continues to be a useful reference tool for children in early elementary who are still building their emotional language.

Why a clock design?

The clock format is familiar and inviting to young children, and it naturally organizes the emotions in a way that makes the puzzle easy to return to repeatedly. Each puzzle piece representing a single emotion also gives children a concrete, holdable object to connect with each feeling, which supports tactile learners and children who benefit from physical engagement.

What emotions does it cover?

The puzzle covers 8 emotions: Happy, Sad, Angry, Calm, Scared, Excited, Surprised, and Confused.

Is this appropriate for children with autism?

Yes. The Feelings Clock Puzzle is designed with autistic children in mind. The hands-on, tactile format supports learning without requiring verbal engagement, and the puzzle mechanic gives children a structured, repetitive activity that many autistic children find regulating. It is used by OTs, ABA therapists, and special education teachers as an early emotion identification tool.

How durable is the puzzle?

The puzzle is made from solid wood with a smooth finish designed to hold up to repeated daily use. The pieces are sized appropriately for small hands and thick enough to withstand the handling of young children and therapy settings.
