Making moving house fun for children
We have prepared a little surprise for all children.
Why not colour in our cheerful moving-themed pictures together? Playing with a moving theme can help children adjust to the new situation more quickly.
To download and print a colouring page, simply click on it. The pages are PDF files, which you can open in any web browser or PDF viewer.
Books that help children understand moving
Moving house is a big experience for adults, so it’s no surprise that it can be even harder for children. It often makes them anxious and stressed.
For parents who would like to explain moving to their children, we recommend a few books (in Polish). They help children get used to a completely new situation, describe each stage of the move in a simple, easy-to-understand way and encourage children to take on new tasks.
- One is a picture book from the publisher Book House, in the series “To nic strasznego” (“Nothing to be scared of”), titled “Przeprowadzka” (“The Move”).
- A similar title is published by Egmont Polska in the Disney series “Kubuś Puchatek i Przyjaciele” (“Winnie the Pooh and Friends”): “Przeprowadzka Tygrysa” (“Tigger’s Move”).
