Resolution Flower for Younger Kids
When my daughter was in kindergarten, we captured her New Year goals with a Resolution Flower. Each petal was for specific verb – Be, Eat, Go, Do, Learn. It was funny to see my daughter optimistically putting two languages on her list of things to learn that year, but this list of resolutions was a great memory, and it was fun to be able to check off at least some things off Smarty’s plans by the end of the year.Resolution Star for Older Kids
This year I decided to repeat this project, but with a new twist. I asked my husband to make a simple template for 12 point star in his favorite design program CorelDraw. I chose 12 points for 12 months of the year. Then we all sat together and worked independently writing down our wishes for the year 2015. We all found that writing 12 goals is much harder than writing 5 :)
We put our resolution stars on the fridge with the goal to check off some of the specific goals as we complete them throughout the year. I “pixelated” my husband’s goals, since he prefers to keep himself off my blog.

I was going to do only one resolution but there's too many to choose from. Maybe one a month would be better. Love your resolution star!
I love this idea! I am going to do the resolution flower with both of my kids tomorrow!
Thank you for sharing.
The resolution stars look great!
I guess I better get serious about figuring out my resolutions with the New Year almost here.
Learn to ride a bike!?! That one could be risky :)
I love this visual idea.
I really liked your idea and wanted to use the star to incorporate it. I was hoping you would have put a printable of the 12 pointed star at the end of your post. Would it be possible to do a printable version?
