We are a small business specialising in designing and creating early childhood resources along with a beautifully stocked range that compliments our handmade Play Discover Learn designs. We also carefully source a variety of second-hand early childhood picture books, games, and puzzles.
All resources are created and stocked with a focus on engaging children in their learning in a purposeful and meaningful way. Play Discover Learn is owned and operated by a qualified early childhood teacher and is based in Sydney, NSW.
This resource is based on The Zones of Regulation developed by Leah Kuypers.
The My Zones of Feelings flash cards are divided into four coloured zones: blue, green, yellow and red. The zones are designed to help your child to identify how they are feeling, and categorise their feelings based on colour.
The first step in talking to your child about their feelings is to teach them the four zones and the feelings that fall into each of them. You can do this by having discussions and practising together. Try talking to your child about the zones in different contexts and environments, and encourage them to identify which zone they are in. To help your child to develop the competencies needed to self-regulate, talk to them about strategies that can help them to ‘feel good’ when they are experiencing different feelings within each zone. The reflection questions on the back of each card are prompts that can help guide these discussions.
Through regular use, these cards can help your child to understand how they feel at different times, and to learn strategies to manage their responses to their feelings.

My Early Childhood Philosophy -
Childhood is a unique time of life, to be enjoyed and valued. It is a time where the foundations for lifelong learning and wellbeing are laid. As a professional early childhood educator first and foremost in all that I do, is the rights of the child.
I acknowledge the traditional people of the land on which I live and work. I pay my respects to elders, past and present as they hold the traditions and hopes for the future of this land.
