Bolt Voltage Emotion Cards
Bolt Voltage Emotion Cards
A simple way to name feelings, not fix them
Big feelings can be hard to explain. Especially for kids.
Especially for kids who feel deeply.
The Bolt Voltage Emotion Cards were created to help children recognize what they are feeling, put words to it, and understand that emotions are information, not problems.
No lectures.
No punishment.
No pressure to “be happy.”
Just awareness, validation, and space to recharge.
What Are Emotion Cards?
Each Emotion Card features Bolt experiencing a specific feeling.
Every card includes:
• The emotion name
• A short description of what that feeling can feel like
• A gentle message from Bolt written in kid friendly language
These cards are designed to help children say:
“This is what I feel right now.”
And to help adults respond with:
“I hear you.”
Who These Cards Are For
Emotion Cards are helpful for:
• Kids learning emotional vocabulary
• Neurodivergent children
• Kids who shut down or get overwhelmed
• Classrooms and calm corners
• Therapy and counseling spaces
• Parents who want better conversations, not power struggles
They are especially effective for children who struggle to explain their emotions out loud.
How to Use Them
There is no wrong way to use Emotion Cards.
Here are a few simple ideas:
• Let your child pick a card that matches how they feel
• Use one card a day as a check in
• Keep a small stack nearby during homework or bedtime
• Use them during calm moments, not just meltdowns
• Ask “Do any of these feel like you today?”
No fixing required.
Naming the feeling is the win.
Why Bolt?
Bolt is a robot learning how emotions work.

He studies them.

He allows them.
Kids often feel safer exploring emotions through a character first.
Bolt makes feelings feel less scary and more understandable.
