Printable Graph Paper and Grid Paper

Wendy Piersall — Fri, 21 May 2010 13:54:49 +0000

My son made me a proud mama the other day when he specifically asked for grid paper so that he could practice his drawing. I have to admit I was impressed with his desire to be precise – if only he was that way about cleaning his room!

This set of printable graph papers come in inch increments at .25″, .5″, .75″, and 1″. There is also 1cm, 1.5cm and 2cm grid papers as well. There is also a 15 x 15 cell grid that is perfect to use to make your own word searches with your weekly vocabulary words.

Important Grid Paper Printing Instructions

If you require accurate grid measurements for your graph paper printouts, you must ensure that your printer is set to print at a full 100%. Some printers also default to your browser settings, so if you are having problems, check these as well.

This will likely mean that part of the page will be outside of the print area, and tell your printer to proceed anyway. Each printer is different, so I cannot give you exact instructions on how to achieve this with your particular setup. But in general, once you hit the ‘Click to Print’ button on the next page, you will have to go into your printer options to change the setting to 100%.

Most printers – and browsers – by default print pages at the setting ‘Shrink to Fit”, and this will not work.

Memorial Day Worksheets for Kids

As I was putting together these Memorial Day printables, I realized I didn’t know the difference between Memorial Day and Veterans Day. It turns out that Veterans Day was established to as a way to primarily thank living military veterans. Memorial Day is a day for remembering and honoring military personnel who died in service to their country, particularly those who died in battle.

Memorial Day Poem

Red poppies are traditionally worn and given on Memorial Day. It was written in 1915 by World War I Colonel John McCrae. McCrae’s poem had a huge impact on two women, Anna E. Guerin of France and Moina Michael. Both worked to initiate the sale of artificial poppies to help orphans and others left destitute by the war.

Thanksgiving is a special time of year, especially this year. I started Animal Jr. right before Thanksgiving in 2008, not having a clue as to how huge of a network it would turn into just a few months later! Here are some of my very first printables from that time, Turkey Coloring Pages and these Turkey Printable Masks.

Here is a post of Thanksgiving word puzzles, too!

President Barack Obama Coloring Pages

Wendy Piersall — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 15:13:53 +0000

Last November 4th was a very exciting day for our family. We live in the Chicago area and were able to secure tickets to the Grant Park election night rally for Barack Obama. I had already taken my 14 year old daughter to see Michelle Obama speak a month earlier, so I felt this was a historic enough occasion to bring her with me to the rally. We couldn’t have been more proud to see now-President Obama elected that night!

When I called the school the next morning to explain to them why I was bringing her in late (because we didn’t get home until 1:00am!), the school secretary said with glee, “You were there?! Oh my gosh! You are so lucky! Of course we will excuse her from her morning classes!!!”

The sad thing about all of this is that at least 10 other websites have stolen these coloring pages from me and post them on their websites as their own. Funny how people who seem to be “patriotic” don’t seem to mind breaking the law!
