An educational system for teaching individuals their emotions employs a multiplicity of sets of faces. Each set of faces expresses a different emotion experienced by individuals from time to time. The sets of faces have facial expressions correlated to the different emotions. There are a plurality of states of the particular emotion that are expressed in the facial expressions of each set of faces. The states defined for each of the different emotions are subdued, normal and exaggerated states. The facial expressions on the faces employ certain facial features to express the particular emotions, namely, eyes, eyebrows, a mouth and a nose. These facial features are enclosed in a facial circle. The sizes of these facial features relative to the facial circle change from one state of a particular emotion to another and are smallest in the subdued state, largest in the exaggerated state and inbetween and balanced in the normal state. In an educational method for teaching individuals their emotions, selected ones of the faces of the sets thereof are employed in learning, building and de-building sequences and combinations thereof to assist and guide individuals in understanding, expressing and modifying their emotions. An educational doll provides one substrate to which selected ones of the faces can be applied. The doll has limbs with fan folded sections on which objects, such as faces, can be placed and also has swivels so that the doll can dance or turn allowing a child to have fun while learning his or her emotions.
