Printing Instructions
Once you have downloaded the PDF files, you can print these coloring pages on regular US Letter-sized paper (8.5 x 11 inches) and hand them over to your kids so they can have fun coloring in the designs.
If you wish to print the pages on A4 paper, you can do so, but you may need to adjust the “Scale to Fit” setting on your printer to ensure that none of the printable area is being cut off.
How to Make This Printable Reusable
Looking to save money on paper or ink? Make these coloring sheets reusable by laminating them using a thermal laminator or self-laminating sheets, or by placing each page inside a separate plastic page protector or dry erase pocket.
This will allow your child to color in the pictures using markers or paint, then wipe them clean and save them for future use. (Make sure you use washable markers or washable kids’ paint—not acrylic paint—to simplify the cleanup process.)
