Two-in-One Facial Recognition Toy
I designed this toy to help autistic children recognize emotions.
But it’s fun for all kids.
It is a reversible, flip flop, inside-out, Face.
Autism is a developmental disorder that affects physical, social and language skills.
It usually appears before the age of 3, and each child’s case is different.
Many children with autism have a difficult time distinguishing different facial expressions.
So this is a great way to help them recognize emotions.
The toy has a clear visual message:
Happy, Sad, Angry, Worried, Scared, Surprised…….
A slight angle of the eyebrows and the mouth can portray many different expressions.
The toy is easy for children to turn inside out and soft to hold.
Our greatest national resource is the minds of our children. -Walt Disney
Possible Games to Play:
• Recognize the expression
• Try to imitate the expression
• Watch how someone else imitates
• How would you feel, if you looked like that?
• How would others feel, if they looked like that?
• Try to change the expression to the opposite
• Name the feelings: Mr. Happy, Miss Angry, Mr. Worried….
