Selected reviews from TPT

★★★★★

Most of the sheets printed/copied well, but a few were grainy. Students loved the accessibility of some and the difficulty of others...there was something for everyone (creativity-wise), and the messages were fantastic pick-me-ups! We hung them up as posters in the hallway.

Meredith L. · May 2019 · TPT review
★★★★★

Great resource! I do a lot of growth mindset in my classroom and these helped for some "calm down time"

Ashton L. · October 2018 · TPT review
★★★★★

Great product! Looking forward to making a beautiful bulletin board with my students using these!

Randi Restau · August 2018 · TPT review

Rated by 18 teachers on TPT (see every rating on TPT). These are selected 4- and 5-star written reviews by teachers on TPT (Teachers Pay Teachers), shown word for word. TPT's newer 4-point scale ("Extremely satisfied" = 4) is converted to stars.

These Growth Mindset SEL Coloring Pages are 15 intricate, original zen doodle coloring sheets with motivational affirmations and inspirational quotes. They are original illustrations drawn by Ms Artastic, not clip art, and the designs include landscapes, animals, florals, mandala-style borders, brain imagery, lightbulbs and flowing patterns.

 

The pages give students a calm, focused activity while building resilience, perseverance, positive self-talk and confidence. The detail suits upper elementary and middle school students. Quotes students color include “Mistakes are proof that you are trying,” “I can learn anything,” “My brain can grow,” “I am a problem solver,” “I can’t do it… YET!” and quotes from Albert Einstein, Malcolm Forbes and Jack Canfield.

 


 


 

WHAT'S INCLUDED (NON-EDITABLE PDF)

 

  • 15 Growth Mindset Zen Doodle Coloring Pages, original hand-drawn artwork
  • Motivational Affirmations and Inspirational Quotes on every page
  • Printable Black-and-White PDF, ready for the classroom

 


 

HOW TO USE IT

 

Use the pages for SEL units, growth mindset lessons, mindfulness breaks, calm-down corners, fast finishers, bell ringers, morning work, sub plans, character education, advisory periods, art centers or bulletin board displays. Finished pages make motivational classroom or hallway décor.

 

As described on page 2, students can color with pencil crayons, crayons, markers, watercolor, chalk pastels, oil pastels or mixed media. The detail encourages focus and fine motor control rather than large single-color fills, and the quotes give you a starting point for reflective discussion about positive self-talk and perseverance.
