Your Bold Passport

A digital card titled 'My Bold Passport' with a space for a name and four icons: a printer, a list with a play button, a musical note, and an open book, with a caption 'All four? You're a Bold Hero!' at the bottom.

A4 · PDF · Low-ink

Four missions, four stamps: do a printable, dance to a playlist, sing a song and watch a story. Colour in each stamp as you go. Fill all four to become a Bold Hero.

Tip: pop the chart in a plastic sleeve and use a dry-wipe pen, so you can tick it off every day.

Watch and sing

A note for grown-ups

Big feelings aren’t bad behaviour. They’re a sign that something feels like too much. Staying close and calm is often enough. You don’t have to fix it straight away.
