What Does It Do?
Teddy’s Deck encourages emotional conversations through three playful activity ideas included in every pack:
Pair Emotions
A matching activity where players find and pair cards with the same emotion. This can help children become more familiar with emotion words, and to name and recognise them visually.
Declare Emotions
A turn-taking activity where players request cards from others by stating emotion words aloud. This game gently encourages children to say words for different emotions, listen to others, and engage in turn taking.
Share Emotions
A movement-based game where players pick a card and act out that emotion while others guess what it is. It’s a fun and expressive way to explore what feelings look and feel like - without needing the right words straight away.
These flexible activities allow for repeated, child-led use. Children can choose the activity that best fits their mood or setting, and the gentle nature of the games encourages participation at their own pace.
Each activity also includes tiered levels so adults can adapt them to the child’s stage of development - offering just the right balance of support and stretch. As a child grows, so can the conversations.

“This is a truly wonderful product. The bear was treated like a VIP from the moment we brought it home. The impact was profound: my boys were talking about emotions more freely in such a short space of time, naming feelings, talking about times they were brave, and even creating their own emotional combinations. The parent instructions and guidance will be a welcome addition. ”
— Sally
Speech & Language Therapist
“It helped my daughter calm herself down independently, instead of needing us to help her, which she felt proud of having done. As well as using it as a definite comfort item, especially at night. The bear was involved in games, play, and even went on a bike ride.”
— Shannon
Mum of Three
“Our children loved the having the bear to sleep over. We had to take it everywhere with us, from setting up the morning picnic to bedtime, the bear was there.”
