Free download, no sign-up

Two pages: the picture to copy and the blank grid.

How to use it

  1. Print both pages of the PDF at the same size.
  2. Find square A1 on the reference.
  3. Copy just the lines in that square into A1 on the blank grid.
  4. Work across the squares until the candy cane appears, then add stripes.
Tip: Lightly tick off each square on the reference as you finish it, so nobody loses their place.

This is day 3 of the 24-day Christmas drawing countdown.
