I grew up as an only child, so things got way boring a lot of the time. My mom worked a lot and I was often left with babysitters or alone as I got older.
When she WAS home, she was pretty tired, so life was just pretty boring all the way around growing up. I learned to do things by myself, play by myself as a kid, and do crafts, games, etc. all by myself.
But before you go feeling sorry for me, definitely don’t!
I learned to be independent. 💪
I learned to think outside the box.
I learned to be more creative.
I learned that I ENJOYED a peaceful life, not full of drama, and if I had to pick it, I’d choose it all over again…being an only child.
It was great! 💯 I feel like it made me the person I am today…marching to the beat of my OWN drum! 🥰
Whether you have one child or more, they’re gonna love this “Connect Four” style game! Why? Because it features super cute graphics, it’s colorable, AND you can play it by yourself or with a group!

• Other printables are either functional OR cute. I bridge the gap between the two. Since I'm a single mom and don't have time to mess around and am a kid at heart, I love something that actually propels me forward and gets the job done quickly, while still having that super cute vibe I'm known for.
• I'm a graphic designer FIRST. This means my printables, whether free or paid for, will always be of the highest quality and print crisp and clear on any printer.
• I love what I do and I do the work myself. I'm not hiring these out. This is my life, my hobby, my passion, my heart.
• My fans are obsessed with my work. To date, I've made over $23M on printables alone (organically) in the past 8 years.
Yes! Except for some large binders, all printables on the blog are 100% free for personal use. I make these because I genuinely want you to have something cute and helpful right now without having to spend a dime. You deserve a life that feels more peaceful, more organized, and more you, and if a simple printable can make your day feel lighter, I am so happy to give that to you.
Absolutely! You're welcome to print as many copies as you need for your own students or church groups. I only ask that you do not edit them in any way (leaving the full copyright line in tact) or sell them or host the digital files on other websites. Please always link back to this post to share with others.
For best results, I recommend printing on 8.5"x11" white paper. These are professionally designed as high-resolution PDFs so they will stay crisp and clear, making them perfect for any printer.
