How to use it
Type your child’s name. A long name moves onto two lines so the letters stay big.
Choose stars or hearts to go around it.
Print it and set out crayons, markers or stickers.
When it’s done, have your child sign the “Colored by” line and hang it up.
Questions parents ask
What if the name is long?
The letters shrink to fit the page, and a name with a space in it, like Mary Kate, moves onto two lines so the letters stay big.
Does it help with learning their name?
It’s a gentle way in. Say each letter as your child colors it, and they’ll start to notice the shapes and the order of the letters in their name.
Can I make one for each child in a class or family?
Yes. Type a name and print, then change the name and print again. Each page takes a few seconds.
Can I change the words at the top?
Yes. The title prints as a small heading above the name. Clear it if you’d rather have just the name.
Is my child’s name saved anywhere?
No. A name you type stays in your browser so it can print on the sheet. It is never sent to us.
Is it really free?
Yes. One email unlocks this and every other tool in the library, and you can print as many as you like. Your email also brings one short story each Tuesday, and you can leave anytime.
This is a simple visual support for everyday routines, not a therapy or a treatment. If your child works with a teacher or therapist, they can tell you how it fits with what they already do. Picture symbols: Mulberry Symbols, CC BY-SA 4.0.
