Creative Teacher Planner
Thank you for your interest! I’m so glad you’re here and keen to start a creative planning, reflecting or brainstorming journey!
Here you can find the main pages that make up your planner: Creative Teacher Planner
To get started, I’d love to offer you some free creative planner printables! Just print them out and glue or secure them into your planner. I use a spiral edged notebook for flexibility - I change layouts and pages throughout a week and month.

Join the Creating Newsletter
Creativity doesn’t always follow a plan—it sparks, unfolds, and surprises. The Creating newsletter is a space for teacher-authors, bloggers, creative educators, and small business owners who love to doodle, sketch, jot, and brainstorm. Each week, I send out a free newsletter filled with creative nudges—sometimes a doodle challenge, a brainstorming spark, or a fresh perspective on shaping ideas. Plans don’t always start with a list; sometimes, they begin with a single mark on a page. If you love the process of creating first, reflecting later, this is for you. Sign up and let’s explore creativity together!
Creative Planner Challenge – Flight and Flowers
Need a soft, calming drawing moment this week?
Try this gentle Creative Planner warm-up inspired by tiny things you notice in your day — a simple way to settle your mind and return to creative flow.
You can use the 5x4 (20 grid) page from your Creative Planner or any small-grid page you prefer.
Step 1: Notice something small
Take a moment during your day — on a walk, at your desk, or even making your morning drink — and look for one tiny thing that stands out.
A shape, colour, movement, shadow, flower, or bird.
👉 Example: A bird shape in the froth of your warm elixir.
Step 2: Choose a second moment
Find one more gentle detail in your surroundings — something that sparks a small sense of joy or beauty.
👉 Example: A flower you spotted on your walk, or the bright flash of a rainbow lorikeet.
Step 3: Turn them into simple shapes
Translate each moment into a very simple repeated shape or line.
Maybe a soft wing curve… a petal shape… a tiny dot or swirl.
Just the essence — nothing detailed.
👉 Example: A curved “wing” line + a little flower petal shape.
Step 4: Fill your Grid
Use these shapes to fill your 20-grid (or 12-grid) page.
Let your pen float and repeat patterns.
Add frills, loops, petals, feathers — anything that feels gentle and light.
Each box can be different, yet still inspired by the same tiny moments.
This is your creative pause —
simple, mindful drawing to bring you back into flow.
Just 10–15 minutes to reset your mind and steady your thoughts.
Here is mine to give you an idea of how to get started:
