Why It Helps
If your child asks, ‘When is baby coming?’ you can show them the current week on the chart and how many are left.
A visual countdown can be helpful for children to better understand time, feel included in the pregnancy, and stay connected to what is happening inside Mommy’s tummy.
How to Use It
Each week, you or your child can color in the baby image or add a sticker.
Simply cut the dotted line on the following pages and attach together to form one long wall chart to follow along together through the journey.
Printable version also available at the website below.
Either enjoy this on its own or pair it with the Growing Together Journey Books by reading the current week in the book and then finding the corresponding baby image here.
After baby arrives, the chart becomes a sweet keepsake to save in a nursery shadow box, baby book, or tucked inside this keepsake book — a special memory of the first bond growing between your children.
This wall chart gives children a way to visualize and better understand the concept of time while waiting for their new sibling to arrive.
For children, nine months can feel like an eternity!
This wall chart is designed to complement your Growing Together keepsake book, giving your child a hands-on way to reduce confusion on the mysterious time frame of waiting for baby.
When little ones understand what’s happening and feel included, their little hearts feel safe.
