MOOD STACKS

Designed specifically for children aged 2-4, MOOD STACKS is more than just a stacking toy—it's a tool for developing emotional intelligence and social skills in a fun, hands-on way. Each block represents a different emotion with vibrant colours, unique facial expressions, and a variety of textures, allowing children to explore how emotions feel both visually and through touch.

Project Duration: 2023

Human Factors Project

DESCRIPTION

With its mix of different shapes, materials, and textures, this toy stimulates sensory development, while the stacking and balancing gameplay encourages problem-solving and fine motor skills. Children can mix and match emotions, stack them in creative ways, and even create stories around the characters, fostering both imaginative play and empathy.

​

Through engaging play, MOOD STACKS helps children recognize and understand different emotions, supporting social interaction and emotional regulation as they grow.

​

Perfect for home or educational settings, MOOD STACKS offers a multi-sensory experience that promotes emotional and cognitive development—all while keeping playtime fun!
