For teachers and homeschoolers

Everything here is free for classroom use, with no account and no limit on copies. This page explains how to get the most out of it.

Print the right size the first time

Every page has a Letter PDF and an A4 PDF. Pick the one that matches your paper and print at 100 percent; the half-inch margins mean nothing gets cut off on any classroom printer or copier. The high-resolution PNG on each page is there for interactive whiteboards and tablets.

Match the page to the child

Each theme has a filter for difficulty. Easy pages have very thick outlines and big open areas for ages two to four. Ages 4–8 pages add a simple scene. Detailed pages have fine lines and patterns for older children and quiet-time work.

Themes that fit lessons

• Alphabet Coloring Pages: A letter and a picture on every page, from A for apple to Z for zebra, for children learning their letters.
• Animal Coloring Pages: Farm animals, jungle animals, pets, birds, bugs and sea creatures, in every level of detail.
• Coloring Pages for Kids: Everyday scenes with children at play, at school and outdoors, drawn with clear outlines for ages two to eight.
• Emotions Coloring Pages: Faces and characters showing happy, sad, angry, surprised and more, useful for talking about feelings.
• Printable Activity Sheets: Colour-by-instruction cards, matching, symmetry and tracing sheets for preschool and kindergarten.
• Food Coloring Pages: Fruit, vegetables and favourite meals, many with the word printed underneath for early readers.

Ideas that work

• Early finishers: keep a folder of ten pages from one theme by the door.
• Letter of the week: the alphabet pages pair a letter with a picture, and the food pages print the word under the drawing.
• Feelings check-in: the emotions pages give younger children a face to point at.
• Fine-motor practice: start with the thick-line pages, move to detailed ones as control improves.

Sharing with colleagues

Link to the theme page rather than emailing the PDF around. Links always point at the current version, and the license allows unlimited classroom printing, so nobody needs to ask.
