Graduation Writing Craft Freebie

This When I Grow Up balloon craft is one of those keepsake activities that will melt hearts and spark big dreams. Kiddos get to write (or dictate) what they want to be when they grow up and why—and their answers? Pure gold. From future doctors to dinosaur hunters (yes, really!), this activity is equal parts writing practice and memory maker. Plus, the craft features cheerful balloons and a colorful flowerpot that makes the whole thing pop—literally and visually!

It’s the perfect end-of-year reflection that gets kids thinking about their hopes and dreams while giving teachers and families a peek into those imaginative little minds. Just print, write, color, and cut—super low prep but high in sentimental value. Tie a bunch together for a “dream garden” bulletin board, or let students take their balloon bouquets home as a proud send-off! 🎈💐
