Who it is for
Parents of 1 to 3 year olds who are just starting with crayons, and daycare or toddler-group leaders who sing these rhymes anyway and want a page to go with each one.
What is in the download
- My-First-Nursery-Rhymes-Coloring-Book-Printable-US-Letter.pdf (54 pages, 8.5 x 11 in)

Printing tips
- Open the PDF for your paper: US Letter in the US and Canada, A4 almost everywhere else. Both are in the download.
- In the print window choose Actual size or 100%. "Fit" also works; it only makes the picture a little smaller.
- Print one side only, in black. There is one picture per sheet, so markers do not show through onto another picture.
- Plain copy paper is fine for crayons and pencils. Card stock is better for markers and paint.
- Print one page, a handful, or the whole set. Print again whenever a page is finished.

The licence, in plain words
You may
- Print as many copies as you like for your own household.
- Print copies for one classroom, homeschool group, daycare room or library story-time group that you run yourself.
- Use the printed pages at parties, or give them away as free gifts.
You may not
- Resell, share, upload or email the PDF files or pictures of the pages.
- Sell printed copies, or put the pages inside another product.
- Say the pictures are your own work.
A second classroom, or a whole school, needs its own copy of the pack. The full wording is in LICENSE.txt inside the download.
Questions
How do I get the files?
After you pay, the checkout sends you to a download page on this site. One button there saves a zip file (1.9 MB) with both PDFs. Nothing is posted to you; this is a digital download.
How long does the download link work?
For 30 days from the day you pay. Save the zip to your own device and bookmark the download page. If you lose the page inside those 30 days, or the files later, write to info@dausystems.com with your receipt and we will send them.
Which paper sizes are included?
Both. One PDF is US Letter (8.5 x 11 in) and one is A4 (210 x 297 mm), with the same 54 pages in each.
Can I use it in my classroom?
Yes, in one classroom, homeschool group or daycare room that you run. Print as many copies as the children need. Sharing the files with other teachers is not included.
Can I open it on a phone or tablet?
Yes. The files are ordinary PDFs inside a zip. Phones and tablets can open the zip and send a page to a wireless printer. A computer is usually easier.
Can I get a refund?
If the files will not open or print and we cannot fix it, or you were charged twice, yes: write to info@dausystems.com within 14 days of paying. The details are on the terms page.
Do I need an account?
No. There is no account and no newsletter. You pay through the checkout and download.
Can I try a page first?
Yes. The free sample is one full-size page from this pack, "Ladybug, Ladybug", in Letter and A4.
