The Ultimate List of Free Growth Mindset Printables for Kids and Adults

Both kids and adults need a growth mindset. And many of the resources for kids are good for adults as well. My daughter, Christina, and I both like to color growth mindset quotation and affirmation coloring pages together with my 4½-year-old granddaughter (Christina’s niece), Zoey. While some of these printables are designed for kids, many of them are wonderful for a wide variety of ages. I’ll share links to a variety of free growth mindset printables for kids and then a variety of free growth mindset printables that work for both kids and adults.

People didn’t talk about growth mindset until the concept was popularized by psychologist Carol Dweck in her book, Mindset: The New Psychology of Success (first edition published in 2006). You can find a good summary of Carol Dweck’s ideas on growth mindset here. Here are many resources for teaching growth mindset from Edutopia.

I’ll be adding to this list as I find new free growth mindset printables online. If you have a free growth mindset printable that I missed, please leave a comment so I can add it to the list!
