Welsh Emotion Flash Cards

Help your child navigate their feelings with the Welsh Emotion Flash Cards – a gentle, engaging way to put emotions into words. This set of 20 cards uses adorable illustrations (by Claire Mabbett) to depict a range of common feelings, each labeled in Welsh. From “hapus” (happy) to “trist” (sad), every card gives kids a visual cue for an emotion and the Welsh word to express it. It’s a fantastic tool for teaching emotional intelligence in any family, and especially helpful for bilingual households to discuss feelings comfortably in Welsh and English.

These flash cards open the door to important conversations about what’s going on inside a child’s mind. A child who might struggle to say “I feel upset” can instead hand you the “crac” (angry) card or point to “unig” (lonely), making it easier for you both to talk about big feelings. Parents and teachers can use the cards during circle time, bedtime, or whenever a gentle discussion is needed: “I see you chose pryderus – are you feeling worried about something?” Each card is printed on durable A6 cardstock with a silky matte finish, so they’ll hold up to frequent use by little hands. By incorporating the Welsh terms, you’re also expanding your child’s vocabulary for emotions in a natural way – they’ll learn that “balch” means proud, for instance, as they recognise that feeling in themselves. The Welsh Emotion Flash Cards provide a warm and supportive way for children to recognise, name, and share their feelings, all while embracing the Welsh language.
