Turn your child's lesson PDFs into a printable mind map
Upload a worksheet, slides, or notes and get an editable, explorable mind map your child can follow step by step. Export a printable copy on Plus.
Why a printable mind map for kids beats a blank page
Young learners remember a topic better when they can see how its parts connect, and a printable mind map for kids shows that at a glance. A single page with one central idea and a few branches is easier to follow than a list of paragraphs.
- Start with three to six main branches, one for each big idea in the lesson.
- Keep each sub-point short enough for a child to read without help.
- Use the same map for review by covering branches and asking your child to recall them.
- Redo the map a week later to see which branches your child can now fill in alone.
Built from your material
Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain notes, or a photo of a page. The text is read and the key ideas become branches.
Editable and explorable
Rearrange branches, trim details that are too advanced, and click through each idea at your child's pace.
Printable on Plus
Export a PDF on the Plus plan for a printed copy. The free plan lets you study in the browser without exports.
How it works
Add the lesson
Upload a PDF, slides, or typed notes. A photo of a worksheet works too.
Review the branches
Edit the main topics so they match your child's grade level and the lesson goals.
Print the map
Export a PDF on Plus and print it for the homework table or the fridge.
A map built from your child's own lesson keeps the vocabulary and examples their teacher used. You can start with a few main branches, then add sub-points as your child gets comfortable with the topic.
Parents and tutors can also use the same map as a quick review before a test. Reading the branches out loud and having your child fill in the details is a simple way to check what has stuck.

Frequently asked questions
How many main branches should a kids mind map have?
Most children can follow three to six main branches, one for each big idea in the lesson. Add more only if your child already knows the basics.
How can a child use a mind map to study?
Have them cover one branch at a time and say what it contains from memory. Then uncover it and check their answer against the map.
Can I print my mind map?
Yes. PDF export is a Plus feature, so you can print a copy after you export it. The free plan lets you study the map in the browser without exports.
Is there a free plan to try it first?
Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and needs no credit card to start.
