Description: This exhibit allows young children to compare their feelings about various situations with what someone else would feel. The exhibit accommodates two visitors at a time but can be used by one visitor alone as well.

One visitor spins a large wheel. The wheel eventually comes to rest indicating a particular situation. The bright alphanumeric display in front of each visitor prompts them to enter how they feel, choosing from four posibilities - happy, sad, angry, and worried. Once both visitors have selected then both of their feelings are displayed on each display.

Visitors can spin as many times as they wish.
