Six Fundamental Emotions: Happiness, Sadness, Anger, Fear, Surprise, and Disgust.
Every figure is constructed using four blocks: a base, a lower face, an upper face, and a hair/hat. With any of these four components, children can construct and arrange their own characters.
Mood Blocks promote inclusivity by featuring a range of skin tones, avoiding specific gender identities, and ensuring accessibility for those with color blindness through distinct visual and physical identification of each part.
The sizes are child-friendly, promoting safe play while also aiding in the development of hand muscles as children connect the parts together.
