Questions
Can teachers print one for every child?
Yes. Paste your class list and you get one named page per child in a single PDF.
When is it best to use?
Start of the school year (June in India, August or September elsewhere).
Is it really free?
Yes. Print as many as you like for home, classrooms, parties and libraries. Please link to this page rather than re-uploading the file.
Do you keep the names I type?
No. The page is drawn in your browser and the names never leave your device.
What paper should I use?
Ordinary printer paper is fine for crayons and pencils. For markers or paint, use a thicker 120 to 160 gsm paper so it doesn't bleed through.
