Big Sibling Activity Pack | Feelings, Letters & Bonding Activities | Instant Download Printable
📝 Listing Description:
Whena new baby arrives, your big kid is going through something too.
This printable activity pack was created by Diane Morales, M.S., CCLS II, a Certified Child Life Specialist with over a decade of experience supporting children and families in pediatric hospital settings, including the NICU, to help big siblings process their feelings, stay connected to their baby, and feel like they matter during one of the hardest times a family can face.
Because they do matter. So much.
💛 What's included (6 pages):
🌈 Today I Feel — feelings identification page to help big siblings name and normalize their emotions
👧 All About My Big Sibling — a fill-in page all about them, to hang in baby's hospital room
👶 All About My Baby — helps siblings learn about and bond with their new baby
💌 A Letter to My Baby — guided letter-writing page to hang in baby's NICU room
👕 Design a Onesie for Your Baby — a creative activity where siblings design something special for their baby to wear
🍼 Design a Bib for Your Baby — another sweet creative outlet to feel involved and connected
✨ Why it works:
These activities aren't just cute, they're clinically grounded. Each page was intentionally designed to support emotional expression, sibling identity, and family connection. As a Child Life Specialist, I've seen firsthand how much it means to a big sibling to feel seen, included, and needed.
