Vision Boards with Children

 Last Week my co-workers gave me an idea to make a vision board this year and I brought the idea home even though my A, is 2.5 y/o I decided to include her in the experience! This works with any age group so I loved the activity!



On the left is my husbands vision board this year, all he wants is to take a break. The middle one is mine I have a lot of ideas on what I want to see this year! And on the right is my Aria's.
At first we were thinking this may be too much for her since she wouldn't understand.

Interesting enough her vision board says a lot about her! She put things on there that are relevant to her environment and her likes. It was so cool to see the finished product!



Aria's Board:
Every thing in this board has some significance to her my husband and I sat and talked about why she would have chosen these specific items.

Take some time to really look at your child's board and what captures their attention to put on their board.  If you want to include language in your activity just ASK THEM what they put on their board and transition with more open ended questions.


Quick Tip:
I put these eye level to her in the living room wall.  Its great to display art at their eye level. Displaying their art where they can see it helps boost their confidence and helps them know that their creativity is valued.  It can also just be an expression of your love for them.


I hope you will try this activity and begin working on your visions this year.
