Why write down what your child dreams about

Your child will only be this age once. The things a four-year-old wants to be, a dolphin doctor, a dad, an astronaut who comes home for dinner, are pure and strange and often gone within a year. The Dream Sheet catches one of those moments on paper before it changes.

It is not a test and there is nothing to achieve. The point is simply to ask, to listen, and to keep what they say in their own words. Years from now it will be one of the most precious things you own.

How to use the Dream Sheet

  1. Print it. It is free and fits on one page, A4 or Letter.
  2. Ask the questions out loud, one at a time, with no rush.
  3. Write down exactly what they say, word for word. The odder and funnier, the better.
  4. Add their age and the date, then keep it somewhere safe.

If your child is too little to answer yet, fill it in with what you hope for them and keep it as a time capsule.

Then tell us what they said

Some of the best answers in the world come out of a four-year-old. When you have filled yours in, take a photo and share it with us on Instagram @summiva.app. We read every one.

Questions parents ask

What age is the Dream Sheet for?

It works best for children who can answer in their own words, roughly ages three to ten. For babies and young toddlers, fill it in with what you hope for them and keep it as a keepsake until they can answer themselves.

What if my child cannot write yet?

That is the idea. You do the writing. Ask the questions out loud and capture their answers word for word. It is about their dreams, not their handwriting.

Can I do this with a toddler?

Yes. Ask anyway, the answers are often the best part, or fill it in for them as a time capsule until they can answer for themselves.

Is the Dream Sheet really free?

Yes. Print and use it as many times as you like. No sign-up and no catch.

Can we fill one in every year?

Please do. Fill in a fresh one each birthday and watch how the dreams change. Together they become a tiny diary of who your child was at each age.
