EmotiMate is a hardcover magnetic face-building book that keeps kids engaged for 20+ minutes with 60+ pieces to build expressions, name feelings, and learn without screens.
Open it, insert a character card, and select facial features—eyes, brows, mouths, hats—and snap them onto the card so children articulate the feelings they’re constructing.
With six character cards—clown, chef, doctor, and more—plus a full tray of swappable features, there are hundreds of possible face combinations, keeping play fresh round after round.
Magnetic pieces stay put; nothing slips or flips, and the entire set stores flat inside the hardcover case, so you won’t hunt for toppled trays or missing parts.
What’s included: 1 magnetic board book, 6 character cards (clown, chef, doctor, and more), and a full set of magnetic face pieces—eyes, mouths, noses, hats, hair, and accessories.
Dimensions and materials: a compact 8.3 x 8.3 inch case that opens flat like a book; the kit combines a hardcover magnetic book with wood-backed magnetic pieces printed with child-safe inks.
Recommended age: 3 years and up — supervise younger siblings around the small magnetic parts.
What kids actually walk away with: a real vocabulary for feelings—words like worried, surprised, frustrated, calm—plus stronger fine motor skills from pinching, sliding, and snapping magnetic pieces, and long, quiet, focused independent play as options stay varied.
How it works — Open, Snap, Play: Step 1: Open the book and slide in one of the character cards—chef, clown, doctor, or another from the set. Step 2: Pick face pieces from the magnetic tray—eyes, mouth, nose, hat, hair—and snap them onto the card to craft any expression. Step 3: Talk about the face you built, name the feeling, swap a piece, and start a new one.
