Tips for Printing and Coloring Franklin Pages
Getting the best results from these printable pages is simple with a few handy tips. Print on standard letter-size paper (8.5 x 11 in.) for a perfect fit — plain white printer paper works great, but cardstock gives crayons and markers a sturdier surface. For kids aged 3 to 5, chunky crayons make it easier to stay inside the lines and build color confidence. Children aged 6 to 12 can experiment with colored pencils or felt-tip markers to blend shades and add shading details. Printing multiple copies of a favorite page is a smart trick — one to color carefully and one to go wild with experimenting!
