Affirmation Sun – A Delightful Spring/Summer Themed Activity to Help Build Confidence and Self Esteem!

A printable, confidence-boosting activity for children and teens to explore the power of positive self-talk.

Our Affirmation Sun is a simple, creative, and meaningful way to help children and teens build self-esteem, encourage positive thinking, and reflect on the qualities that make them unique.

Perfect for Mental Health Awareness Month, Spring and Summer - or all year round - this resource helps children to see just how brightly they shine!

About This Printable Activity

The Affirmation Sun is a one-page printable designed to support self-worth and emotional wellbeing through the practise of affirmations. Children and teens are invited to fill in the sun’s rays with kind, powerful, and encouraging statements about themselves — things like:

“I am brave.”
“I can handle hard things.”
“I matter.”
“I am loved.”

They can then colour, decorate, and personalise the sun to make it their own, creating a vibrant visual reminder of all the positive thoughts they want to carry with them.

How to Use

Print the Affirmation Sun and set out colouring supplies.
Support children in coming up with affirmations (or provide a list to choose from).
Encourage discussion about what each affirmation means and why it’s helpful.
Let children colour the rays and sun however they wish.
Display on desks, walls or use in calm corners.
