Emotions Feelings Fine Motor Drawing | SEL Facial Expressions | PreK SPED OT

Build fine motor skills AND emotional vocabulary at the same time! With these Let's Draw Emotions activities, students trace and draw facial expressions while they review emotions and feelings vocabulary and practice identifying emotions. It's a hands-on favorite that keeps your fine motor center fun and engaging — and a natural fit for social-emotional learning (SEL), speech, special education, and counseling.

Just print, laminate, and add dry erase markers, and students complete each emotions-themed face by tracing the expression, which is lightly lined in gray. Want more of a challenge? A completely blank option lets students draw each facial expression on their own — built-in differentiation for every level.

With 6 different sets offering multicultural options and both boy and girl faces, every student can see themselves represented. Over 70 pages included!
