eeBoo How Am I Feeling? Conversation Flashcards – 48 Cards to Build Emotional Intelligence for Ages 3+
These 48 conversation flashcards from eeBoo help kids ages 3 and up explore emotions through clever illustrations of fruits and vegetables. Each 4.5" x 6" card pairs a whimsical facial expression with thoughtful questions that spark discussions about feelings, empathy, and social dynamics. Designed for use at home, in classrooms, or with therapists, this set builds emotional literacy without relying on age, race, or gender cues.
What’s in the box
The sturdy box holds 48 thick cards, each measuring 4.5 by 6 inches. Every card features a full-color illustration on the front and a set of discussion prompts on the back. The prompts guide children and adults to analyze emotional situations, name feelings, and think about how others might feel in similar scenarios.
How the cards teach emotional intelligence
By looking at the expressive fruits and vegetables, children practice reading facial expressions and body language. The questions push them to go beyond simple identification: they ask why a character might feel a certain way, what could happen next, and how they would react. This process strengthens empathy, observation, and communication skills—all foundations of social and emotional learning.
Who can use these flashcards
The set is ideal for parents, teachers, and therapists. The artwork engages both kids and adults, making it a useful tool for counselors, speech therapists, and behavior specialists. Because the characters have no age, race, or gender, every child can see themselves in the emotions displayed.
Art and design details
Award-winning artist Saxton Freymann created the illustrations. The fruits and vegetables show a broad range of emotions—happy, sad, surprised, frustrated, and more—all depicted with humor and warmth. This approach keeps the cards fun while teaching serious emotional concepts.
