Start with the right file

Download the files included with your purchase and open the PDF in a PDF reader. Check the product description and filename for the paper size. A4 and US Letter are different sizes; use the edition that matches the paper in your printer.

All files in this preview catalog are described as English-language materials. A translated website does not change the language inside a downloaded PDF.

Check these settings before printing

  • Select the same paper size in your printer settings as the PDF edition.
  • Start with the scale recommended in the pack. When dimensions matter, try Actual size or 100% and check for clipping.
  • If a decorative page is clipped by your printer’s margins, Fit may help, but it changes the printed size.
  • Choose color or grayscale to suit the file. A color key may be harder to follow in grayscale.
  • Print one page first. Check text, margins, and color before printing the rest.

Choose paper for the activity

Use paper that your printer supports. Ordinary printer paper can be a useful starting point for pencil and crayon activities. Crafts may need a sturdier sheet; check both the pack instructions and your printer’s supported paper weights.

Paint can make paper curl or show through. Protect the table, use a modest amount of paint, and let the test sheet dry before choosing paper for the full activity.

If something looks wrong

  • Blurry output: open the original PDF rather than a screenshot or gallery image.
  • Missing edges: check paper size, print orientation, scaling, and the printer’s printable area.
  • Unexpected colors: check ink and printer settings; screen colors and printed colors can differ.
  • The wrong file or a missing download: use the order help route on the platform where you purchased.
