What it is

Some kids would rather draw than talk. Feelings Comic Studio turns a hard moment (or a happy one) into a comic: what happened before, the big moment, what came after, and what they could try next time. Faces, thought bubbles, feeling marks and stickers help kids show what was going on inside, even when the words won't come.

What's included

  • How to make a feelings comic: 4 easy steps plus comic tools (speech bubble, thought bubble, caption box, feeling marks)
  • Draw Feelings Fast: 9 simple faces to copy, with tips on eyebrows and mouths
  • Feeling Marks + Bodies: 8 comic symbols (sweat drops, steam puffs, rain cloud and more) and 4 stick-figure poses
  • What Happened: 4-box comic (before, during, after, next time)
  • My Comic: 3-box starter comic for younger kids
  • Inside / Outside: what people could see, next to what was going on inside
  • The Rewind: the tricky moment, then a new choice and a new ending
  • Free Comic: 6 boxes for any story
  • Make Your Own Hero: a hero with a calm superpower, sidekick, gear and catchphrase
  • Hero to the Rescue: 4-box comic starring their hero
  • Feeling stickers: 24 round feeling faces plus 6 blank speech and thought bubbles
  • Caption + sound stickers: 20 captions ("I needed a break," "we worked it out," "Later that day..."), 8 sound words, and blanks to write your own
  • 12 Comic Idea cards in three levels: Warm-up, Everyday, and Tricky
  • My Comic Book cover to staple their comics into a book
  • Grown-up guide: how to use it, what to say, and what to do if a comic shows someone being hurt
  • BONUS Ink-Saver file: every template on plain white for printing class sets
