The Bubble Feeling Wheel is a WholeChild Flow™ resource designed to help children build emotional awareness through simple body clues, Bubble language, and supportive regulation strategies. This pack includes:
Full Feeling Wheel (with clues + strategies)
Blank Wheel for child-led reflection
Educator Guide with purpose, best practice, and usage tips
The wheel visually represents each Bubble — Happy, Sad, Angry, Calm, Nervous, Love — using child-friendly characters and language. Children learn to notice sensations such as “Heavy,” “Tight,” “Wobbly,” “Relaxed,” “Warm,” “Slow,” “Jittery”, then match them to appropriate strategies like Bubble breaths, rocking, cuddles, movement breaks, reading, quiet space, or asking for help.
This resource supports children to:
Build interoceptive awareness (body-based feelings)
Label emotions using Bubble language
Develop autonomy in choosing helpful strategies
Strengthen co-regulation with adults
Included Educator Tips:
Introduce the wheel during calm times
Use movement/role-play (e.g., droopy arms for Sad Bubble, stomping for Angry Bubble)
Embed into transitions: “How is your Bubble right now?”
Pair with Communication Cards for a full emotional-literacy system
Best Practice Highlights:
Validate all feelings — no “bad” Bubbles
Model Bubble language regularly
Reflect body clues neutrally
Support children before asking them to label feelings
A perfect tool for early childhood settings, primary years, therapists, and families wanting to support children’s social-emotional development.
