The template
The template has space for students to write about each section of their coat of arms and explain what they have drawn.

The shield outline is included with and without a name box. There are also options with and without a thin border.

Optional: Want students to add a motto? A simple banner outline is included for this. Glue the coat of arms into a notebook, and stick the motto above or underneath. Alternatively, a backing page is included with a motto banner at the top for students to glue their coat of arms to.
