Congratulations on purchasing Funky Fish Feelings®, a set of 48 cards featuring delightfully different characters from the deep, designed to help people of all ages explore oceans of emotions and feelings. These funky finned friends might just bear an uncanny resemblance to people you know!
Like our best-selling flagship product The Bears® and the popular Stones …have feelings too!®, these cards recognise that talking about feelings can be difficult. While the Funky Fish Feelings® cards are quirky and humorous, they do fulfill an important task; allowing people, young and old, to describe their feelings and discover their voice.
Now that you have the cards, you will be wanting some fresh and innovative ideas for how to incorporate the cards into your work, and perhaps your life.
In this Tool Box, you will find the digital booklet, which contains lots of information about eating disorders, disordered eating and other ‘shadowy companions’ like depression and anxiety, plus loads of activities and suggestions for how to use the cards in different settings. (This can be printed as an A5 hardcopy booklet.)
As a BONUS gift to you, we are giving you access to the digital version of the cards! The digital cards are interactive, making them ideal for building rapport and connection. And because they are digital, you can use them anywhere, anytime.
Feel free to browse this page and get inspired by stories from other people on how they’ve used the cards. And don’t forget to explore the range of other supporting materials and information, which is at your fingertips any time you need it.
This Tool Box is exclusively for people who have purchased the cards. We will continue to add resources and ideas so check in regularly to see what’s new!

Once upon a time, in a land far away (to use a metaphor to describe our long lost school days) you may have learnt a definition of metaphor similar to the one above. And perhaps it is just as likely that you have forgotten it. Read more
Keen observers of the Funky Fish Feelings cards will have noticed that a seahorse manages to make an appearance on every card. (Well, all except one card where it is left for you to imagine him somewhere in the whirlpool!) Read more
