Who am I, what can I already do, and what do I want to learn in the New Year? The New Year profile is one page per kid – and once everyone's done, the pages become a class book for your preschool group or classroom.
What's in the PDFs
Both PDFs, color and coloring, have 1 page. Top left is a frame for a photo or self-portrait, next to it lines for name, age, group/class, birthday, favorite color, and favorite game. Below are four lined boxes: something I'm really good at, what I want to learn in the New Year, my wish for our group, and what made me happy this year. Print on A4 or US Letter.

How to make your class book
💡 Tips
- Check with parents before using photos – a self-portrait works just as well.
- Sheet protectors in a binder keep the pages looking nice for a long time.
- At the end of the year, compare with the first profile: what has changed?
- Perfect for the first week back after winter break.
What kids practice
Kids describe themselves and share what they can already do, which builds confidence. The wish for the group gets them thinking about their community. The finished class book helps them get to know each other better.
🔄 Variations & Ideas
Two kids interview each other and fill in the page for their partner.
At home, everyone fills in a page – and you've got a family book.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is it for preschool or school?
Both. Preschoolers draw the self-portrait and tell their answers while a teacher writes. Kids from second grade up usually fill it in on their own.
How do I turn it into a class book?
Collect all the pages, add a hand-drawn cover, and hole-punch or bind them. A binder with sheet protectors works too.
Do we need a photo?
No, the frame is for a photo or self-portrait. Many kids actually prefer to draw themselves.
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: Neujahrs-Steckbrief.
