I Get So Emotional, Baby!

Kimichi Emotion Dolls- I found this post on the Design Mom blog and couldn't help but laugh. This is the comic relief I need today. Kimochis have feelings too! With these tactile and interactive toys, children (or child-like adults) will learn how to identify and express their emotions, while parents (or other adults) can better understand what their children are trying to express. Each quirky and modern toy has an open mouth for storing the "emotions," Each "emotion" is a small felt disk with the emotion written on one side and a facial expression of it on the other. Each toy has its own unique and charming personality and comes with their own set of 9 emotions- Sounds like people. {But what if you need all the emotions?!}

Bear (green): happy, mad, sad, shy, hurt, jealous, loved, grateful and scared
Square (grey): happy, sleepy, cranky, shy, hurt, jealous, loved, grateful and scared
Red Twin: happy, proud, cranky, shy, hurt, jealous, loved, grateful and scared
Blue Twin: happy, sad, frustrated, shy, hurt, jealous, loved, grateful and scared

I can think of a recent time this doll would have been useful...
