"Chapters of Life" Giant Coloring Sheet for Transitions & New Beginnings
Authoring Your Own Story
Life doesn't happen all at once; it unfolds one chapter at a time. The "Chapters of Life" giant coloring sheet uses the timeless metaphor of books and storytelling to empower children (and adults) to take ownership of their journey and embrace new beginnings.
At a massive 2FT x 5FT, this literary landscape features vintage typewriters, towering stacks of books, and inspiring reminders like "You are the author of your own story" and "You may have a fresh start any moment you choose." It is a comforting and motivating tool for navigating transitions—whether it's moving to a new school, recovering from a setback, or celebrating a milestone.
This sheet is an excellent resource for classrooms at the start or end of a school year, therapy sessions focused on narrative identity, or families discussing their shared history and future goals.
As you color the pages and book spines, use the thoughtful conversation prompts embedded in the border to turn the page:
- Agency: discussing what it means to be the "author" and make your own choices.
- Reflection: Looking at "past chapters" to see what we learned and what memories we want to keep on the shelf.
- Transitions: Talking about how "every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end."
- Future-Casting: Imagining what the title of your next chapter will be.
Like all Our Big Pages, "Chapters of Life" is a durable, shared canvas built to help you write the next best-seller together.
