Thank you we are excited to use these
Thank you so much for all of your amazing resources! My kids love them!
Love the prints but wish there was a way to only print what I needed. I didn’t need both B&W and colored. That’s a waste of paper and ink . Decided against printing.
You absolutley can choose what you print =) When you click print, go under settings and note only the page numbers you want to print.
