My 4-year-old actually asks for this plush when she's upset, and we end up talking through which face matches her mood. The emotions angle makes it easy to start those conversations without it feeling like a lecture.

The feelings faces on this plush have turned our bedtime routine into a little feelings check-in, which I didn't expect. My 3-year-old points to the happy face when she's had a good day at daycare and the sad one when she misses me.

My 4-year-old has started actually naming her feelings during meltdowns, which I didn't expect from a plush toy. The face cards it comes with make it easy for her to point at "angry" or "sad" when she doesn't have the words yet. It's simple and soft, and it's become part of our bedtime routine.
