Template Instructions

Flash card type Templates.  You can use these in a variety of activities (see activity suggestions above).

• Print out the template of choice.
• Color pieces, as necessary.
• OPTIONAL:  Glue to a thin piece of cardboard (ex:  old cereal boxes) and let dry (you can also laminate or cover with clear contact paper to make them last longer)
• Cut out the cards.  This step may require adult assistance.
• OPTIONAL:  You can glue a small piece of sandpaper or felt onto the back of the cards -- this will allow them to be used on a felt board.

Templates:

• Close the template window after printing to return to this screen.
• Set page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting the template on one page (FILE, PAGE SETUP or FILE, PRINTER SETUP in most browsers).
