4
Place the top wheel on the bottom wheel and join them in the middle with a brad.
5
Spin it every morning: which resolution is up today?

💡 Tips

  • On cardstock (65–110 lb), the wheel spins more easily and lasts longer.
  • Keep the center hole small so the top wheel doesn't wobble.
  • Pair it with the Fresh-Start Weekly Plan: goal done? Color in a star there.
  • With the coloring version, kids get to color the resolution pictures themselves.

What kids practice

Kids learn to set small, doable goals and stick with them. The pictures help kids who can't read yet. Cutting out the round wheels and the window trains fine motor skills.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What's a brad fastener?
A small metal fastener with a round head and two prongs. Push it through the paper and fold the prongs open on the back. You'll find them at craft and office supply stores.

Which resolutions are on the wheel?
Brushing teeth, tidying up, eating veggies, reading, helping, moving, playing outside, and sharing – each with a picture of a kid.

Can I make it without a brad?
Yes: thread a piece of yarn through the center and tie a thick knot on each side. Brads are small parts, so yarn is the better choice around children under 3.

Is the download free?
Yes, all templates on PureSketchy are 100% free for personal, preschool and classroom use – no sign-up needed.

Is there a German version?
Yes! You can find the German version here: Vorsätze-Drehrad.
