Example
Example: pen-pal letters for a second-grade class, on paper the kids color first
A second-grade teacher starts a pen-pal exchange with a class in another state and wants paper the children can color before they write. Settings: Design For children, Lines Wide lines (for children), Colours Outlines to colour, Sheets 2, Design number 1, Paper US Letter (the default on this page).
- Sheet 1, all in black line art: a rainbow between two clouds in one top corner, three balloons in the other, a sun with little stars and hearts between, and animals peeping over grass along the foot.
- Between them, the writing area is about 7 × 7.6 in (178 × 193 mm) with 17 wide lines 11 mm apart, a little under 7/16 in.
- Sheet 2 keeps one animal and two flowers on a patch of grass in a bottom corner, and has 20 wide lines.
- Nothing is printed in words: no “Dear”, no date line, no footer. Each child starts the letter their own way.
| Design “For children” | Letter, sheet 1 | Letter, sheet 2 on | A4, sheet 1 | A4, sheet 2 on |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wide lines (11 mm) | 17 | 20 | 18 | 21 |
| Lined (8 mm) | 24 | 28 | 25 | 29 |
| Vertical columns (10 mm) | 17 | 17 | 17 | 17 |
letter-paper.pdf: two Letter pages and 17 + 20 = 37 wide lines per child; print one copy per child. Older writers switch to Lined for 24 + 28 = 52 lines on the same two sheets, and the picture stays exactly where it was: the design number alone sets the art and its colors.
How it works
- Choose a design and lined, wide-lined or blank paper.
- Pick colour or outlines, and how many sheets — the second sheet has a lighter design for longer letters.
- Print and write; a matching envelope can be printed with the envelope template.
Frequently asked questions
- Can I print it on nicer paper?
- Yes — slightly thicker paper (100–120 g/m²) or cream paper feels like real stationery and lets ink sit well.
- Why is the second sheet plainer?
- A long letter reads better when the follow-on pages are calmer: they keep a small corner motif and leave more room to write.
- Which lines should I choose?
- Lined for adults, wide lines for children learning to write, no lines for drawings, and vertical lines for writing in Japanese or Korean from top to bottom.
- Can children colour the border?
- Yes — choose outlines and the design prints as line art to colour in before writing.
- How many lines fit on a sheet?
- On US Letter with lines 8 mm apart (about 5/16 in, between college and wide rule): 24 to 27 on the decorated first sheet, depending on the design, and 28 or 29 on the sheets after it. Wide lines (11 mm) give 17 to 19, then 20 or 21. A4 holds one or two more; A5 holds 18 to 20, then 21.
- Is there a footer or a website name on the paper?
- No. The sheet is the letter you send, so nothing is printed on it in words — no greeting, no date line and no footer, on the free plan too.
- Is anything uploaded?
- No. The paper is made in your browser.
