This Blob Feelings & Emotions Chart helps people recognise, name, and talk about a wide range of everyday feelings. It goes beyond basic emotions like happy or sad and includes more complex experiences such as overwhelmed, jealous, proud of myself, and worried but trying.
The visual “blob” characters make emotions easier to understand, especially for children and young people who may struggle to put their feelings into words. The chart supports emotional awareness, builds vocabulary, and helps start conversations about what is going on inside. It can be used in homes, schools, and professional settings to support emotional literacy, self-reflection, and communication. It is particularly helpful during check-ins, one-to-one work, or when helping someone make sense of their feelings in a safe and simple way. You can use the chart as a daily check-in tool by asking “How are you feeling today?” and inviting the person to point to or name a feeling. It can also be used to explore situations by asking what someone felt at different points, or to build emotional vocabulary by discussing similar feelings and how they show up in the body or behaviour. In sessions, it can support conversations about coping, helping the person link feelings to strategies that work for them.
