Craft Ideas to Make With Emotional Intelligence Printables

Explore emotions through visual arts with these simple craft ideas.

Ideal for crafting at home or school, these projects offer the chance to develop emotional intelligence while creating unique artwork. 

1. Mood Markers

Design colorful door hangers that promote privacy and emotional expression.  

Choose a coloring page that represents an emotion of your choice. For a quiet reading area, choose a calming design. For a craft or games room, choose illustrations of happiness and excitement. 

Cut the design out and glue it to a sturdy, rectangular piece of cardboard (old cereal boxes work well.)

Decorate the edges with additional words or designs that relate to the emotion, such as positive affirmations and inspirational messages.

Hang your handmade door art to communicate your current mood or need for space. 

2. Morale Mosaic

Create an emotions mood board to support students in understanding and expressing a wide range of emotions. 

Have children complete coloring pages, focusing on how the colors and designs reflect their feelings. 

Pin the colored designs to a bulletin board. Gather photos, magazine clippings, and items that represent the different feelings and arrange them around the illustrations. 

Secure everything in place and use it as a classroom management tool to discuss and validate emotions among students.

3. Feelings Flashcards

Turn coloring pages into cue cards to engage kindergarten students in learning about emotions. 

Print a variety of designs featuring different facial expressions at 25% scale. Have students color the printables in vibrant colors and patterns. 

Cut the cards out. Write prompts or questions on the back of each one that relate to the emotion shown. 

These cards can be used as interactive resources to support emotional awareness in young children.

4. Milestones of the Mind

Make an emotional tracker that offers a visual way to track how kids are feeling throughout the day. 

Choose coloring pages that symbolize feelings like joy, fear, and anxiety. 

Cut out the designs and arrange them vertically on a large piece of poster paper. Have positive emotions at the top and negative emotions at the bottom, with a mix of emotions in the middle. 

Glue the illustrations into place and hang the mood chart on a wall. 

Write names on wooden pegs and have kids place them on the edge of the artwork to track their emotions. 

This game provides a safe and creative way for children to let adults know how they’re feeling and get support in managing hard emotions. 

5. Puppets of Passion

Create puppet characters based on the five core feelings from the film Inside Out: Happiness, Sadness, Anger, Fear, and Disgust.

Print a coloring page that shows your chosen feeling onto cardstock. Fill it with shades that relate to the designs; red for anger, blue for sadness, or a rainbow of colors for happiness. 

Draw an outline for your character over the illustration. Give them arms, legs, and fuzzy fur. Cut the outline out. 

Glue a craft stick to the back of the puppet. Add googly eyes and yarn for hair. 

Not only do these colorful characters foster creativity and fine motor skills, they also help children start to understand different emotions.

6. Self-Reflection Silhouettes

Craft self-portrait collages as part of a powerful activity that blends coloring fun and self-expression. 

Print our free printables at 25% scale and color illustrations that represent the various emotions you experience. Cut the designs into small shapes. 

Use a marker to draw a self-portrait outline on a piece of cardstock. Use a template or draw your own.

Glue the cutouts to the inside of your self-portrait outline, creating a collage effect. 

Around the outside of the outline, write short words or phrases about coping skills for dealing with the emotions shown in the silhouette.

Display the artwork as part of an exhibition for Mental Health Day, promoting self-awareness and emotional literacy.

7. Journal of Journeys

Decorate a plain notebook with beautiful colored pages to create a dedicated space for emotional exploration.

Print coloring pages on cardstock at 50% scale and complete each in vivid shades. Ensure you have a range of illustrations showing different feelings. 

Cut the designs into fish shapes. Attach a paper clip to each. 

Tie a piece of string to one end of a stick. Tape a magnet to the other end of the string to create a fishing rod. 

Have preschoolers catch fish and talk about the emotion it represents.

9. Feelings Fob

Craft sentimental keychains for your best friend to let them know how they make you feel.

Choose a coloring sheet that represents how your BFF makes you feel and print it at 25% scale. 

Color and cut out a keychain-sized piece from the design. Add additional designs like hearts, stars, and flowers. 

Laminate each cutout to protect it and enhance its durability. 

Punch a hole near the top edge of each cutout and attach a keyring chain. 

Give your handmade accessory to your bestie to remind them of the joyful times you’ve spent together.
