Make your kids’ 2022 visions come true with this printable vision board for kids activity.

Vision boarding can help you focus and get clear about your goals. It’s a great way to help kids envision their future and what they want in life, but creating one can be tricky.

Many people struggle and have a hard time with putting together a visual representation of what they want out of life. So how do you get started?

Let’s get right into it. I want to show you how to create your own vision board for kids. We have put together a simple printable vision board template, along with sample pictures that kids can customise to show a visualisation of the goals they have set for themselves.

This is one of those art projects that really gets kids thinking about their priorities, their family visions and their own success. As they put together their collage of images, kids are developing powerful tools for the future, learning the concept of goal setting, and gaining a new skill.

Making a big life board is a fun way to work on children’s confidence, as you give them the space and opportunity to dream big, focus on their big goals as well as their short-term goals, and come up with an action plan.

Vision boarding encourages children to believe that anything is possible and to strive for their goals.
