This one is for you, not your child. The observation sheet is a single page for noticing, a few minutes at a time across a week: what your child returns to again and again, what they wander away from, and where their strengths show up.
Use it before you choose a pack. By Friday you usually have a short list of real interests and one or two strengths to build on, which is exactly what the other Sparkatlas packs are designed to follow. Print it or fill it in on your phone.

Why this matters
Interest-led learning starts with noticing, not planning. A few lines of honest observation, with no scores or judgement, show you where your child's attention already lives. That is the map: start the next activity from something they love, and learning comes more easily.
Age bands
This sheet is for grown-ups, so it works for children of any age.
Letter is the standard paper size in North America; A4 is used almost everywhere else.
