St. Patrick’s Day Printables

St. Patrick’s Day is just around the corner! A quick lesson for my non-Celtic readers: “Patty” is actually the feminine diminutive a la “Patricia.” “Paddy” is short for “Padraig,” which is the original Irish spelling of “Patrick.” So make sure that you say “Happy St. Paddy’s Day!” during the holiday this year.

However you pronounce the name, you can find plenty of fun St. Patrick’s Day coloring pages at FreePrintableColoringPages.net. Great for classroom activities or party favors, each picture shows leprechauns, shamrocks, pots of gold, and foamy beers (but those are probably best for adults only!) Each picture can be downloaded and printed for free as a PNG file.

Other great classroom printables include the St. Patrick’s Day writing prompts at FreeWritingPrompts.net. Elementary and Middle School students can answer questions about what wishes they would make, a holiday party they would like to throw, and their good luck charms. The prompts are available to download, edit and print as free DOC files.

Classrooms shouldn’t get all the fun. Share the holiday spirit through the workplace too by using the FreeFaxCoverSheets.net St. Patrick’s Day fax cover. It shows St. Patrick trying to fax the snakes out of Ireland, which is certainly one tactic to try.

St. Patrick’s Day is all about having fun and celebrating community and heritage, so feel free to send a St. Patrick’s Day greeting card with a picture of clovers, horseshoes, bugs, butterflies, or pots of gold from FreePrintableGreetingCards.net. PDFs are free to print and a customizable version can be purchased for $4 and edited in a word processing program. If you’re giving out presents to friends and family, use the Saint Patrick gift tag from FreePrintableGiftTags.net. It’s available for free as a PDF or DOC.
Happy Saint Patrick’s Day, Sláinte, and Happy Printing!

Free Apology Letter Templates

I’ve always said that the sample apology letters at ApologyLetters.net are great as a fillable template for putting sincere repentance into words. However, if you’re a movie star who has to apologize for plagiarism, it might be better to just use these new letters as more of a guideline.

The new apology letters range from professional to personal this time around. Plenty of them are intended for everyday office problems, like apologies to customers for incorrect shipping, wrong addresses, email errors and hacked accounts. Others are more serious, like apologies for libel, slander and misconduct. If you’re guilty of those things, you may also need the apology letter to your boss that helps you ask for your job back.

There are also plenty of personal apology letters that are great for family, friends, and partners. These include apologies for betraying trust, spilling a secret, forgetting a date and losing a borrowed item. These, as well as those apologizing for wasting time, bad attitudes and forgeries, can be used to help children learn to apologize for misbehavior.

There are close to 150 apology letter samples currently available at ApologyLetters.net for general and personal reasons. Some of my other sites that are useful for similar issues include ComplaintLetter.net with 180 complaint letters, GoodbyeLetters.net with 116 goodbye letters, and CondolenceLetters.net with 117 condolence letters.

New Printable Paper

I’ve got 30 new printable paper templates up at PrintablePaper.net that are especially useful for young students learning to write well. I also have new variations for note paper and lined pages.

A lot of kids struggle to make their letters a uniform size. That’s why I have penmanship paper with handwriting lines that start at half an inch and increase in size by one-eighth inch all the way up to 1 and a half inches. Teachers for students of any age can find a use for these, and they come in portrait and landscape orientations.

For people who have trouble reading or writing on a white page, there are new variations of colored pages up now. These have white lines and backgrounds that are pale shades of red, yellow, and gray. It can make focusing easier for those suffering from problems such as dyslexia.

Finally, there are new foldable booklets that are a clever way to divide a single sheet of paper into a folded pamphlet with either 8 or 10 individual pages. Creative kids will find lots of ways to use the booklets, and can choose from lined and unlined pages. They all come with guidelines for how to fold the page correctly.

Overall, I have 1,231 paper templates that can be downloaded and printed for free as PDFs from PrintablePaper.net. There are forms for school use such as graph paper, music paper, isometric paper and logarithmic paper. There are also fun templates for comic books, games, dot paper and score sheets. If you want more than a twelve hundred templates in one place for work, school and fun, the paper collection is available for only $39 as one quick download.

New Complaint Letters

Crafting a tactful and effective complaint letter is always difficult, but a good response letter can be just as tough. That’s why I have 26 complaint letters, articles, and adjustment letters that make the whole process easier.

If you have no idea where to start with your complaint, consider some of the fill-in-the-blanks complaint letters that provide strong, decisive phrasing. You can fill in your situation and contact information and let the letter do the rest! Otherwise, there are plenty of sample letters that can help guide your own response to any situation. Some incidents that may need a complaint form include a missed appointment, an unfair dismissal, an insurance claim appeal, trespassing, theft, incorrect shipments, billing mistakes, and badly done repairs.

It seems only fair that if I’m going to help people complain, I should help the recipient respond. That’s why I have a standard claim form for businesses who receive numerous complaints, as well as adjustment letters that can help retain a client, fix the problem, and provide some form of compensation.

There are nearly 180 complaints available at ComplaintLetter.net for general, resident and professional reasons. Each template is free to download, edit and print in a word processor, or you can lift the text directly from the website. Some of my other sites that are useful for similar issues include ApologyLetters.net with 150 apology letters, GoodbyeLetters.net with 116 goodbye letters, and CondolenceLetters.net with 117 condolence letters.

Printable Grocery Lists

If you’ve ever wondered what you should or shouldn’t eat for certain diets, holidays or events, check out the new grocery lists at FreePrintableGroceryList.com. There are also menu planners and shopping lists for items other than food.

My speciality grocery lists cover a lot of ground. This time around, I’ve got suggestion lists that can guide people who are pregnant, nursing, or competing in running events. There are also specific lists that can help you shop for Easter, Passover, Black Friday, and the start of school. For the thrifty user, there are a few for shopping on a budget or with the addition of coupons.

A lot of my kid-friendly grocery lists this time are menu planners that children can fill in themselves. A lot of them have colorful pictures of fruits, veggies, pizza and more, but some have line art so that kids can use the planner as a coloring page too.

There are more than 130 grocery lists that are blank or pre-filled, single or multi-columned, illustrated or simple. All of the lists at FreePrintableGroceryList.com are available as a PDF or DOC file and are free to download, customize in Microsoft Word, and print.

New Page Borders

I hope you “love” the 20 new page borders at PageBorders.net, many of which are romance-themed. If you need a picture frame for a photo of you and your loved one, or stationery for romantic correspondence, this batch of printables is for you.

All of the new Valentine’s Day page borders are appropriate to use year-round. They’re great for writing a love note since they’re decorated with hearts, Cupids, cupcakes and stuffed animals. They add a sweet, pink-tinged touch to any missive you have to send to family, friends or a spouse.

I’ve also got a few new casual page borders that can be used for more general purposes. There’s a border made up of party hats that’s great for birthdays, as well as borders of hearts, mosaics, and pastels.
PageBorders.net has 325 page borders that can be printed for free as PDF, DOC, PNG and JPGs. Common themes include school, holidays, recreation and nature, but there are a lot of designs that are perfect for individual tastes.

New Sign Language Printables Site

I’m truly excited to introduce a brand new site to the FreePrintable.net family! SignLanguagePrintables.com has 145 sign language printables that help students learn the letters and numbers in American Sign Language (ASL).

If you’re a teacher who wants to keep these signs up on the wall as a reference or a visual aid, I recommend using the full-color fingerspelling signs. There are also line-art versions of the alphabet and the letters 1-9 that can be colored in, if you want to make sign language learning into an art activity as well.

Like all languages, ASL must be memorized and then practiced. A great way to really learn the fingerspelling is with the unlabeled sign language signs. These can be used as flash cards or class assignments to figure out how well a student knows the information.

SignLanguagePrintables.com signs are free to download and print as a PDF. The whole ASL collection is available for only $9.

Free Printable Contracts and Policies

Company policies are important documents that outline what employees are expected to do (or not do) a work. However, a lot of smaller businesses have to make their own. With that in mind, PrintableContracts.com has 37 new printable contracts available, many of which cover company policies. Others address personal relationships, self-improvement, and specific events or jobs.

The new policy contracts or agreements are great as memos or templates to post in employee handbooks. They outline company protocol concerning computer use, company property, overtime, discipline, whistle blowing, drug and alcohol use, and more. Each company can customize the contract to outline their specific restrictions, violations, punishments and procedures.

Personal relationship can get tense at times, and communication becomes key for harmonious living. That’s why I have family contracts for spouses, partners, parents and children. These include agreements for conflict resolution, cohabitation, and academic improvement. There are also a few for self-help, such as quitting smoking, eating right, and exercising.

Contractors and other freelance professionals can now download contracts for weddings, dog breeding, art commissions, indemnification and stock certificates. While more formal and business-oriented in nature, these should be used for informational purposes and not as substitutes for official legal advice. All told, there are 250 contracts available for personal or business purposes. All of them can be downloaded and edited as a customizable DOC file.

Valentine’s Day Printables Roundup

If you’re looking to make Valentine’s Day extra special for that extra-special someone, I’ve got 20 new Valentine cards up at FreePrintableValentines.net and a lot of other holiday treats at my FreePrintable.net websites.

FreePrintableValentines.net now has more than 150 Valentine’s Day printables, including games, picture frames, IOUs and more. Each one is decorated with bold colors and cute, sweet illustrations of Cupids, chocolates, birds and happy couples. Some feature greetings, poems, or messages. Many are single-page cards, but others, like those intended for classroom exchanges, can be printed 10-per-page. The cards can be downloaded and printed for free as a PDF, while a customizable DOC version can be purchased for $4 and edited in Microsoft Word.

I also have printables for those celebrating with a romantic dinner, or for a big Valentine’s Day bash for couples or singles. FreePrintableRecipeCards.net has a lot of love recipe cards and PrintablePlaceCards.net has pretty heart place cards that are perfect for arranging any party. If you have a gift exchange or just a small present for your partner, a silly or romantic gift tag from FreePrintableGiftTags.net can add a nice touch to the presentation. Finally, for those looking to make their love more “official”, there are several Valentine-themed romance certificates at FreePrintableCertificates.net. Some of the printables have an editable version that costs a few dollars, but all are available to print for free as a PDF.

Holidays are a lot of fun for kids, and teachers can add to the excitement with the 85 Valentine’s Day coloring pages available at FreePrintableColoringPages.net. For a more educational activity, there are also quite a few Valentine’s Day writing prompts at FreeWritingPrompts.net for elementary school, middle school and high school students.

Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone, and keep printing!
