Our Confidence Story

Invent a character. Tell a story. Explore confidence together. 💗

Enjoy a little creative time with your child as you make up your very own confidence story.

Will your character be a curious robot, a quiet mouse or a talking flower? What would they like to try - and who could help them along the way?

This free printable activity invites you to explore trying something new, expressing feelings and asking for support through make-believe. Your child leads the story, with plenty of room for their ideas.

What’s included?

• A simple guide for grown-ups.

• A character-creation page.

• Story prompts for the beginning, middle and ending.

• Generous spaces to draw or write.

• Ideas for bringing your finished story to life.

Create it your way

Draw pictures, write together, tell the story aloud or act it out with toys. There are no perfect drawings or right endings, and your character doesn’t have to become fearless or get everything right.

Allow around 15–25 minutes, or enjoy it in shorter sessions.

Who is it for?

Designed with ages 5–11 in mind, for mums, carers and trusted grown-ups to enjoy with children. Adapt the activity to suit your child’s interests and preferred way of communicating.

Every story has room for a little courage and a helping hand.
