Yellow Butterfly How do I know if the PDF files will work on my computer?

Pink Butterfly
Click here, to see if you can open up the PDF files. If the file opens for you then you have the acrobat adobe reader on your computer.

If the PDF file above opens up for you, then you have the adobe acrobat reader on your machine. You may need to give the file a minute to load.

If it doesn't open then you don't have the adobe reader and you will need to download it. The adobe acrobat reader is free. Most computers are set up to automatically open PDF files in your browser, you will be able to view the file in a few seconds. If this process takes longer than a minute, you may want to save/download the file to your hard drive. On slower computers, computers on a dial up, or older computers, it is usually easier to download the files to your computer than try to open them online. Once the files are on your computer they will open right up.

If this file does not open up on your computer than you do not have the adobe acrobat reader. Please see below where to download the free reader.

Yellow Butterfly Printing Tips

Pink Butterfly

I find it best to print out the lessons and daycare forms on copy paper and the printable games and posters onto card stock paper.

Some printers are set to reduce the size of PDF documents. *Please Note* When printing out the pdf files click on File -> Print and then look to the right hand side you should see a view of the picture that is about to print.

Just above that picture are some printing options. Where it says Copies and Adjustments. Click on the two that say Expand Small Pages To Paper Size and Auto Rotate And Center Pages. This will make it print out almost the size of your paper other wise it may print out to small.
