My Mood Stars is a unique toy that teaches children to recognise and acknowledge facial expressions and emotions.
My Mood Stars are 8 plush, portable stars that can be played with alone or with their own hook and loop My Mood Stars board onto which they pop on and off. My Mood stars depict different moods: happy, sad, surprised, silly, shy, scared, cross, and sleepy.
My Mood Stars are becoming increasingly popular with families of children on the autism spectrum as these children can struggle with reading facial cues. The simplicity of My Mood stars allows children to develop their understanding of emotions without the distraction of cultural and gender characteristics.
My Mood Stars comes with a down-loadable Games to Play leaflet. My Mood Stars have proven to be popular with children from the age for 18months to five years old.
If you have experience with caring for children on the autism spectrum, I would love to hear from you.
