One letter a page, A to Z, as big as the paper allows

Colouring and cutting

Colour inside the line with felt pens, crayons or paint pens, or print on coloured card and leave them plain. To cut, follow the outline with scissors; the round corners make it easy, even for children. The small holes in letters such as a and e come out smaller, as in hand-drawn bubble letters.

For a poster or a banner

For a poster title, print each word at 2 or 3 inches and glue the letters on in a slight curve. For a banner, print one or two letters a page at 4 or 5 inches, cut them out, and punch two holes near the top of each to thread on string or ribbon.

Which size to print

The height is a capital letter’s; lower-case letters with a tail, as g and y, reach a little below the line. At 1 in (2.5 cm) the whole alphabet fits on one sheet, for labels and cards; at 2 in (5 cm) a sheet holds a dozen or more, for small banners; at 4 in (10 cm) four or five, for bulletin boards. Up to 5 in (13 cm) every letter fits across Letter or A4, one or two to a page; narrower letters, as I, L and T, can go taller, and the sheet says when a letter is too wide for the paper. Or choose One a page, and every letter prints as tall as the paper allows: about 5½ in (14 cm) for A to Z, and 7 to 8 in (18 to 20 cm) for most names.
