💡 Tips

  • Hang the family page on the fridge so your wishes stay in sight all year.
  • In preschool, kids can tell the group about their drawings while a teacher jots down a few words.
  • For siblings, just print extra preschool or school pages.
  • With the coloring version, kids get to color the little pictures in each box too.

What kids practice

Kids reflect on themselves and learn to put wishes and goals into words or pictures. The school version practices writing short sentences on their own. The family page shows them that wishes can be something you share.
