Growth Mindset Coloring Activities Kids Will Love (Free Set)

Sharing is caring!

Looking for growth mindset coloring activities that will engage and inspire your kids? I created these pages specifically for my younger boys, who learn and process best with hands-on activities while listening to stories.

Over time, I've discovered that combining physical activities with learning makes the concepts stick better and creates a more enjoyable experience for everyone.

Learn how I'm using these printable coloring pages and mini-book with growth mindset themes with my boys and how to get your free set today.

Why Use Growth Mindset Activities with Kids?

Growth mindset has become quite the buzzword lately - and for good reason! Adults have discovered the incredible benefits of embracing these positive thinking principles and naturally want to share these powerful tools with their children.

These growth mindset printables make it easy for your kids to discover and practice these essential life skills.

Through engaging coloring activities, your students are encouraged to think deeply about how they can apply growth mindset concepts to their daily lives.

Why These Growth Mindset Worksheets for Kids Are So Important

You want to help your children confidently navigate life and provide them with the skills to thrive as they overcome obstacles and discover their true self-worth. If you have these types of goals as a parent, you've started on a solid path to giving your kids the gift of a growth mindset (versus a fixed mindset).

While growth mindset concepts aren't complicated, they can be challenging to teach since they're often abstract. These are the types of ideas that you think your kids are grasping, only to find out they're not sure how to put these practices into use.

Plus, your kids might resist sitting down to learn about growth mindset. Between homeschool (or classroom) work and extracurricular activities, they might be tired or just need a break. The last thing they want is another lesson or more work!

That's why hands-on activities are so valuable! Coloring has been shown to have numerous benefits for kids and is an excellent way to boost learning fun.

When paired with resources like Big Life Journal (my #1 recommendation for developing growth mindset), these growth mindset free printables create an engaging learning experience that kids actually enjoy.

What's Included in These Free Growth Mindset Activities

This free printable pack includes two different types of hands-on activities:

• Growth Mindset Coloring Mini-Book:  10 half-sheet pages (5 full pages to print) with growth mindset themes and open-ended questions to encourage your kids to write and/or draw about what a growth mindset means to them
• Growth Mindset Coloring Activities: 4 pages with growth mindset themes with open-ended questions and prompts to inspire your kids to share their growth mindset ideas, goals, dreams, and strengths

Tips for Using Your Growth Mindset Coloring Activities

Make the most of these activities with these helpful tips:

• Print out several copies. Yes, you can use these in your homeschool, homeschool co-op, classroom, and family!
• Have all coloring supplies (like crayons, colored pencils, markers, Kwik Stix) ready to go.
• For the mini-book, you can pre-cut the pages (or give your kids extra cutting practice). Also, have a stapler close by to create the book.
• Remind your kids to do their best work but it doesn't have to be perfect. You can do some gentle writing/coloring warm-ups by stretching out hands and fingers, even upper body.
• Encourage your kids to take a deep breath before starting the activity, even when switching crayons. These deep breaths will help your kids calm down, deal with perfectionistic tendencies, or slow down their bodies for better self-control.
• After your kids are done coloring and creating, invite them to talk about their work. Ask about their color selection. Be curious about their responses.
• Select a special place to display your Growth Mindset Coloring Activities work (with your kids' permission). A bulletin board or refrigerator would be great places!
