How to use it
Type the name your child uses for each home, like Mom’s house or Dad’s house.
Pick the month, and print a copy for each home.
Sit together and color in the shape for where your child will sleep each night.
Hang it at your child’s eye level, and look at the week ahead together.
Make it last: print on cardstock, laminate it or slip it into a sheet protector, and use a dry-erase marker or Velcro dots so you can use it again.
Questions parents ask
Who fills it in?
Together is best. A grown-up who knows the plan says each day out loud while your child colors the shape. Children who know their numbers can help find the dates.
What if the plan changes?
Print a fresh page and color it in again. Keeping only the newest page up avoids mix-ups.
Does it work for our family?
It works for any arrangement. Type any names, like Mama’s, Papa’s, Nana’s or Home, and use two homes or three. Each home has its own shape, so it still works printed in black and white.
Is my child’s name saved anywhere?
No. A name you type stays in your browser so it can print on the sheet. It is never sent to us.
Is it really free?
Yes. One email unlocks this and every other tool in the library, and you can print as many as you like. Your email also brings one short story each Tuesday, and you can leave anytime.
