    Thanks @littlmissdetermined. I just googled '52 envelope challenge' and found one on google images. It was hard to find one that wasn't in dollars, but I'll have another look as my one just have numbers with no currency. I'll have another search and see if I can find it again as I found it earlier in the week.

    Having thought about a chart to colour in, I didn't want to run into any copyright issues so I have created one and placed it on my googledrive so if anyone wants to print a copy they can use this link:

    You will need to download a copy first and then print it :)
