Pediatric Toy Project: Emotion Wheel & Roleplay Spinner

Objective

To help school-age children (6–12 years) identify, express, and manage emotions through a creative and interactive tool that supports psychosocial, communication, and cognitive development.

Materials (All Household Items)

– 1 paper plate or piece of sturdy cardboard (cut into a circle)

– Colored construction paper (optional for layering/emotion flaps)

– Glue or tape

– Scissors (adult supervision)

– Markers, crayons, or pens

– Brass paper fastener (brad) or pushpin (for spinner)

– Paper for arrow/spinner

– Magazines or printed emojis (optional)

How to Make It

– Divide the plate into 6–8 pie-shaped sections and label each with a different emotion (e.g., happy, sad, angry, excited, scared, embarrassed, frustrated, proud).

– Add drawings, emojis, or magazine cutouts that represent each emotion.

– Cut a small arrow from cardboard or paper and use a brad or pushpin to secure it to the center of the wheel so it spins.

– Decorate the wheel with stickers, drawings, or glitter to make it inviting.

How to Use It

– Solo Play: Child spins the arrow, names the emotion, and shares a story when they felt that way.

– Roleplay Game: Spin and act out the emotion using body language and tone.

– Group Play: Great for classrooms or family settings, promoting empathy and turn-taking.

– Journal Prompt: Spin daily and write or draw about that emotion.

Developmental Milestone Alignment

This toy supports several key developmental domains for school-age children (6–12):

Cognitive Development: Promotes emotional recognition, categorization, and reflective thinking.

Psychosocial Development: Supports Erikson’s ‘Industry vs. Inferiority’ stage by enhancing emotional self-awareness and confidence.

Communication & Language Development: Expands emotional vocabulary and encourages expressive storytelling.

Social & Emotional Development: Teaches healthy coping strategies and builds empathy.

Fine Motor Skills: Crafting and spinning engage small muscles in the hands.

Safety: Made from soft, non-toxic materials under supervision.
