How to play

1. For best results, print each sheet separately. Manually flip the first printed sheet and feed back into the printer to ensure the alignment is consistent. If using the printer’s automatic double-sided printing settings, choose to flip on the short-edge. Depending on the thickness of your paper, you may prefer to print the sheets on separate pieces of paper and glue them together to resemble the thickness of a postcard. Note: paper alignment will vary across printers but the design has been carefully considered to allow some leeway. You may also refer to our recommended printer settings in the FAQs.
2. Trim the edges of the postcards and colour them in!
3. Help toddlers and preschoolers to use words to describe their thoughts and feelings when composing the message
4. Either affix a stamp on the postcard or pop them into a C6 size envelope to protect the artwork
