I Am Ready for School! — First Day of School Affirmation Coloring Book, Ages 4-7 | 40 Printable Pages

New classroom, new teacher, new everything. Forty pages that walk children through the first day, from the goodbye at the door to the running hug at pickup.

It's okay to miss home. I can make new friends. I can ask my teacher for help.

The first day of school is huge when you're small. There's a new building, a new grown-up in charge, lunch without Mom or Dad, and a room full of strangers who might become friends.

This book practises all of it before it happens. Forty short affirmations cover the goodbye at the door, finding the classroom, opening the lunchbox, taking turns on the slide, asking for help, and the best bit: running into a parent's arms at the end of the day.

Colour a few pages together in the week before school starts. The situations become familiar before they're real.

Questions

What ages is this for?
Ages 4 to 7 — children starting preschool, kindergarten or first grade, or moving to a new school.

Why aren't the pictures coloured in?
So your child can colour every character however they like — including to look like themselves, a sibling or a best friend.

Is this a physical book?
No, it's a digital download. You print the pages at home or at a print shop. A paperback edition is available on Amazon.

What paper should I use?
Normal printer paper is fine for crayons and coloured pencils. For markers, use 80 lb / 120 gsm or heavier.

Can I print it more than once?
Yes — as many times as you like, for your family.

Can I use it in my classroom?
Yes, with the children in your own classroom, library, club or practice. Please don't share the files beyond that.

When should we start using it?
A week or two before school starts works well. Colour a page or two a day and talk about what that moment will be like. ---
