Description
How to use it: Christmas Paper Chain
In short: 24 printable strip designs for a classic paper chain. Ages 3-9. PDF download – prints on US Letter or A4.
A paper chain is the rare craft that gets better the more children work on it, because the chain just keeps getting longer. Twenty-four designs mean it does not turn into twenty identical red loops, and the cutting and gluing is exactly the right amount of work for small hands in December.

Questions teachers ask
Do I need a color printer?
The designs look best in color, but children can also color plain strips themselves.
How long a chain does one set make?
That depends how many copies you print – the same 24 designs repeat as long as you need them to.
Can I print it every year?
Yes. Your license covers unlimited printing for your own classroom or family.
