Everything on this page is free and downloads immediately. No email, no sign-up, no account.
Why these are free. Each one belongs to a guide that answers a real question — what to ask at pickup, how to get out of the door, what to do while you wait. The guide is free too. If a set turns out to be useful, the larger version is for sale, and that is the whole arrangement.
Five steps, same order every night, for a child who cannot read yet. Colour it in first.
Download ↓Numbered paper-chain strips to cut and loop. Carries the adult-supervision note for the cutting.
Download ↓A tally sheet played by looking OUT of the window, not down — which is what makes it survive a long drive.
Download ↓Five named feelings, a box to tick, and a line to write why that is allowed to stay empty.
Download ↓Fill-in sign with blanks for age, grade and favourites — in the child's own handwriting.
Download ↓A checklist a child packs from themselves, with blank rows for what only they know they need.
Download ↓A fill-in certificate with a dashed cut border. Carries the adult-supervision note for the cutting.
Download ↓The five steps that get you out of the door, in the order that survives a real week.
Download ↓Cards of small, free, doable things — pick one on the way in and the end of the day is settled.
Download ↓The small repeatable things children actually remember. Tick them off over a season.
Download ↓Twenty-four questions that work better than "how was your day?" — cut them out and keep them in the car door.
Download ↓Twenty numbered rows with stars to colour. Designed to be finished, not to run forever.
Download ↓Dots-and-boxes, tic-tac-toe, a squiggle box and a small maze. Fold it into the bag and forget about it.
Download ↓Three notes to a page with guide rules and dashed cut lines, plus a fill-in-the-blank version.
Download ↓A weekly fridge chart so a child who cannot read a calendar can still see who is coming, and when.
