A qualitative approach research is developed from which theoretical elements are obtained from children's literature and researchers who guide and provide epistemic concepts about emotions in children, starting from a process of observation of the environment in which valuable information is captured to know its various characteristics. This allows the construction of a story in the Pop-up technique; through illustrations and three-dimensional images elaborated in three-dimensional three-dimensional images elaborated on paper in a creative way that allow to be a support in learning about emotions as the scope of the main proposal.
