The Play Doctors Emotions Face Fan on Lanyard - ASD/Autism/SEN Social Communication Aid for Children

Handy it’s on a lanyard.

I got these to work with neurodiverse children and those who are on the Autistic spectrum as some prefer to communicate feelings using visual symbols. the children like them as the colours and symbols are great and the fan is easy to carry and use. Overall, they are great value for money and a useful tool.

My daughter struggles with her emotions and communication at school and home so I thought this fan would be a great way to help her explain her feelings to teachers etc when things were getting on top of her.It is an emotions fan, that has a range of different emotions and emoji faces that are attached to a lanyard to help her to carry it around when she needs it.The lanyard has a quick release clasp so great safety feature to reduce risk of it snagging around her neck.They feel fairly strong laminated plastic, but don't have any sharp edges etc.My daughter likes the bright colours and simple emotion pictures and has found it useful to explain her mood to her teachers etc when she doesn't know how to put it into words. Very useful for different activities.

This is a set of emotion cards on a lanyard, they're joined with a clip which allows you to alter the amount of emotions on there to target your need. The lanyard itself is easy to clip on or off and also comes with a safe closure which allows it to pop open if your lanyard is pulled. The only thing 2 things I find is that happy and calm or only mildly different (colour and slight difference in eyebrow) and that the emotion cards themselves are made of a type of shiny card that are actually very easily ripped.Overall this could be a very helpful tool for some adults and children.

We just received these cards today, and I wanted to really love them because they are beautiful and colorful, but with a nonverbal toddler, these did not last even one day. My 2.5 year old immediately put them in his mouth and drooled on them, within 2 minutes, the entire card was soaked through and cardboard became darkened. I was confused because it thought it was laminated but they are clearly not. Then after my son played with them, he managed to actually tear one of the cards in half - yeah- definitely not laminated and a misleading advertisement to get someone to buy a falsely advertised product. I ended up having to request a refund through Amazon, and will be purchasing actually laminated emotions cards through another company. You can tell they’re laminated because they have a thin plastic border along the outside, these do not, these are simply just shiny card paper that they presented as “laminated” to fool other people into charging them £8-9. I only gave one star for the faces and design and key ring, it would have not withstood daily use even without a toddler drooling on them. Waste of time.

Absolutely love these plastic coated emotions cards, they are super convenient on the lanyard and work well for my autistic nephew to take to school and use to easily show his teachers what his emotion is when talking feels overwhelming, fantastic product that can be used is a wide variety of settings, would highly recommend.

Great communication tool for home or school. Perfect resource for non-verbal children or children who find it hard to communicate how they are feeling. It's a compact little fan of emotions covering a wide range of feelings. There's a lanyard attached so that either children or adults can have the fan close to hand to be able to communicate or help communicate emotions. The fan is laminated card so easy to wipe clean.

This is such a good little tool for my autistic sons who struggle with their emotions! It’s super colourful and great value, has really helped in our house!
