Print, solve, create

  1. Print on US Letter paper using “Fit to page.” The PDFs include a white margin.
  2. Choose the activities-only download to keep answers separate, or print page 1 of a character’s two-page pack.
  3. Read directions together when needed. Use pencils for the puzzles, then crayons or colored pencils for the artwork.
  4. Check the puzzle together. Celebrate effort and welcome original drawing ideas.

Maya’s rows use repeating patterns. A grown-up can ask, “Which group of shapes repeats?” before helping with the next two shapes.
