If you’d like, you can print one sided and use 6 pieces of paper. Alternatively, you can also uses 3 pages and print on both the front and the back.
How to print and assemble the activity and coloring book
How to print the booklet double sided:
Print out the first 3 pages of the pdf and then place those pages back in the printer and print out the second 3 pages on the back of the paper.
Stack all of the pages together ensuring that the cover is on the front, fold the booklet in half and then staple the edge.
I would definitely recommend doing a test print to make sure that the pages are corrected aligned before printing out a bunch of booklets at once.
How to print the booklet single sided:
Alternatively, you can also print out all of the pages individually and use 6 sheets of paper. Stack them together, fold in half and then staple.
With this version, the backs of each activity will be blank. This may be a good option if you wanted to include some more coloring space for kids to do some extra drawings and doodles.
