These free Feelings Faces Drawing Worksheets are a printable set of emotion worksheets designed to help children learn how to recognise, understand, and express their feelings in creative and engaging ways. Each sheet features a blank face outline with an emotion label (such as happy, sad, angry, worried, tired, calm, excited, lonely, embarrassed, proud, frustrated, scared, shocked, or bored) which children can complete by drawing facial expressions, colouring, or decorating.
This interactive resource makes emotional learning fun and hands-on, supporting emotional literacy, self-regulation, and wellbeing. Children not only practise recognising emotions but also connect them to real-life experiences, coping strategies, and daily routines.
Creative ways to use the worksheets:
Draw the emotion – add eyes, mouth, and features to match the feeling
Colour the feelings – choose colours that represent emotions (e.g., red for angry, blue for sad)
Playdough faces – laminate the sheets and build expressions using playdough
Collage and stickers – add features using cut-outs or stickers for a fun art activity
Interactive and reflective activities include:
Mirror work & role play – act out the emotions to connect facial expressions with body language
Storytelling – write or draw a short story about a time the child felt that way
Coping toolbox – on the back, write calming strategies for managing each feeling
Daily check-ins – use sheets as part of morning routines or calm corner activities
Perfect for use in:
Classrooms – as part of social-emotional learning (SEL)
Therapy and counselling sessions – supporting children with anxiety, anger, or emotional regulation needs
Social work and foster care – helping children talk about feelings during direct work
Home settings – giving parents and carers an easy way to support emotional conversations
These worksheets are simple yet powerful tools for helping children build self-awareness, manage big feelings, and express emotions in safe, creative ways.
