Nothing matches that combination.and start again.
Everything is sized for A4. On US Letter, choose Fit to page and nothing will be cut off.
The colouring pages, mazes and dot-to-dots use thick black outlines on purpose, so draft or economy quality is fine — worth choosing if a child is going to work through several.
Every sheet is free to print at home, at school, or in a library, as many times as you like. Please do not sell them or repost the files elsewhere.
The sudoku, mazes and word searches are generated, not copied. Every sudoku is checked by computer to have exactly one solution before it ships, which matters more than it sounds: a puzzle with two answers cannot be reasoned out, and a child who gets stuck on one has no way of knowing the puzzle was at fault.
The logic puzzles are checked the same way — the clues are proved to admit exactly one arrangement.
New packs are added regularly. The newsletter is how we tell people, a few times a year.
