Bring your students’ biggest dreams to life with the When I Grow Up Class Book Template! This customizable Canva resource allows each child to “become” their chosen occupation—from pilot to YouTuber—by placing their headshot on the body of that career. With easy-to-edit text and an optional background removal feature (available with a Canva subscription), you can quickly create a memorable class book that celebrates every student’s aspirations.

Highlights:

Choose from Multiple Occupations: Browse the included pages featuring different job bodies or search Canva’s elements for any occupation not already provided. (36+ occupations)

Easy Photo Integration: Upload a child’s headshot, remove the background (Canva subscription required), and resize to fit perfectly on the character’s body.

Personalized Text: Replace “[Name] wants to be a [Job].” with each student’s name and future career, then adjust font styles or colors as needed.

Flexible Printing Options: Download as a PDF and print full-page versions for a shared class book, or select “Layout → Pages Per Sheet → 4” to create handy mini-books for each child to take home.

Engaging Classroom Keepsake: Let children show off their page, sparking conversation around different careers and building community in the classroom.
