What your child is building

Hand strength for writing, two-hands-together coordination, eye-hand control, focus and try-again confidence: key preschool and kindergarten readiness skills.

Easy to start

Print the Thumb • Up • Smile poster and play the video: about 5 minutes to get started. After that, each level is one page: print it and cut.

Why parents choose this pack

• Every skill comes with a free video lesson. Scan the QR code (or click it in the PDF) and watch BrightBuddy, Ursla & Trace teach the exact trick your child then practices on paper.
• Same simple trick words everywhere. The poster, the activity and the video all use the same words, so practice turns into a habit.
• A real plan, not just pages. A grown-up guide, a step-by-step order and a weekly star chart show you what to do next.
• Levels that grow with your child. Thick, easy lines first; thin dotted lines and corners when they are ready.
• Print as many copies as you need for your own family or one classroom.

Questions

How do I get my file? Right after checkout you'll see a download link, and we email it to you too.

Do I need special paper? No. Regular printer paper works; cardstock makes cards and posters last longer. Laminate posters for daily use.
