Description
Emotions Keyring
A compact, durable communication aid that helps kids and grown-ups quickly show how they’re feeling - at school, therapy, home, work, on outings, or during appointments when words are tricky. The Emotions Keyring features eight colour-coded discs with clear facial expressions so users can show the emotion that fits best in the moment.
Why it helps
- Makes feelings visible: simple, recognisable faces + colour cues reduce the load of finding the “right” words.
- Supports self-regulation & co-regulation: once a feeling is identified, it’s easier to choose a helpful next step (breathe, movement break, quiet corner, ask for help).
- Inclusive & neuro-affirming: designed for non-speaking communicators, early readers, autistic/ADHD learners, anxious moments, and busy environments.
- Always with you: clips to keys, bags, pencil cases or a lanyard so it’s on hand during transitions and tricky moments.
Colour & Emotion Guide
- Red - Angry
- Orange - Stressed
- Yellow - Excited
- Light Green - Uncomfortable
- Green - Happy
- Light Blue - Calm
- Blue - Sad
- Purple - Anxious
Note: Emotions are personal, users can choose the colour/face that feels closest, even if it differs from examples.
How to use (30-second routine)
- Check-in: “Which face matches how you feel right now?”
- Respond: Pair the emotion with a simple strategy (e.g., Calm → keep going; Stressed/Anxious → box breathing; Angry → space + adult help; Excited → movement break).
- Re-check: “What face now?” Celebrate small shifts.

Who it’s for
Teachers, OTs, psychologists, support workers, parents and carers; early childhood through secondary; neurodivergent and neurotypical users who benefit from visual, low-demand communication.
Not suitable for children under three years old due to small parts, keep out of their reach. Please note, as with all 3D prints, there can be slight imperfections and variations but these do not hinder the use of the products. Colours may vary depending on what filament I have available.
