Printing Instructions

If you wish to print the pages on A4 paper, you’ll need to make sure that nothing is being cut off by adjusting the “Scale to Fit” setting on your printer.
How to Make This Printable Reusable
Want to reuse these summer coloring sheets again and again? Try laminating them using a thermal laminator or self-laminating sheets, or 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 for future use. (Make sure you use washable markers or washable kids’ paint—not acrylic paint—for an easy cleanup.)
