Angry Emotion Peg Doll, handmade in the USA!
We designed and painted a series of peg dolls for our 3rd grader with autism. We use them for emotion recognition, pretend play (acting out conversations consistent with the emotion), social skills practice, and just plain fun!
EMOTION:
--This doll could mean something a little different to everyone. For us, it is the ANGRY doll, which is a bright red.
--Everyone feels anger at times. One thing we work in our home is validating the feelings of frustration, while also teaching appropriate outlets to express that anger. For our ASD kiddo specifically, it's been important to work on developing healthy anger management practices, and learning to avoid destructive behaviors.
--For you, this could be something different - maybe for you this doll is Upset, Mad, Frustrated, etc.
