Lots of great responses and pictures from the last preschool board! I loved seeing all your little cuties holding their signs. Totally made my week! So, I'm releasing TWO freebies today so you can get the whole family in on all the cute pics. There's one for Kindergarten and another board so you can fill in the appropriate grade for your older kiddos. Feel free to share this post and pin!
The technical stuff before the fun...
Just a quick note before you download the FREEBIES- Only open the editable PDF files in Adobe Reader. If you're on a Mac just know that Editable PDFs don't play well with the Mac Previewer. You can download Adobe Reader for FREE so no worries! Included in the zipped file will be instructions for editing in Adobe Reader if you've never done this before. It's super easy!
Also, if you want the exact fonts I used, download those first before you open the file and start editing.
FREE Fonts I used:
Chalkhand http://www.dafont.com/chalk-hand-lettering-shaded.font
FFF Tusj http://www.dafont.com/fff-tusj.font
Grutch Shaded http://www.dafont.com/font-comment.php?file=grutchshaded
Kraft Nine http://www.dafont.com/search.php?q=Kraft+Nine
Return to Sender http://www.dafont.com/return-to-sender.font
So, finally to the great part...the links to your FREEBIES!!!

Just add it to your cart and go check your email and you'll have a link waiting for you!
Send me pictures of what you made! Enjoy!
I can't change the color of the font in Adobe..ideas?
ReplyDelete@Wilbanks World- Here's some tips to help: http://grantavenuedesign.blogspot.com/2013/09/how-to-edit-editable-pdfs-all-your.html
ReplyDeleteI sent a message via Facebook, but I will leave my comment here too.
ReplyDeleteI downloaded the Kindergarten board, and when I printed it, it cut off the word Kindergarten. This was the 2nd time I had printed, the 1st time it was fine, except I hadn't edited the color of the words yet (not until I had seen the above instructions for how to do that :) ). Any suggestions?
I have to set my printer to borderless. Have you tried that? I've never had it print differently from time to time!
DeleteHow do I one for preschool? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI am able to complete and print out the document without issue, except for the name field at the top. It cuts off my last 5 letters in my son's name. (This is on the grade document.) On the Kindergarten document, it will not print out the name at all. All other fields are fine. Any help is appreciated!

ReplyDeleteI downloaded the kindergarten one but it will not open on my computer but I can open the first-day-of-school one just fine.
ReplyDeleteDo you have this available in pre-K?
ReplyDeleteIf you go to the freebies section directly, there is a pre-school one :) I think on the second page!
DeleteThese are great and just what I was looking for and then some. Thank you so much for sharing these!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing these! I have been looking for something just like this!!
ReplyDeleteAre you no longer offering the 1st day of school sign? When I click the link, it says the page can not longer be found...:(
ReplyDeleteI had the same problem. If you go to the freebies section directly, it's on the 2nd page and will load just fine :)

ReplyDeleteI'm having a problem trying to print it off. When I try to do a print preview, it's zoomed in. Any advice?
ReplyDeleteThis file is a poster size 16" x 20". You may have to take the file to a print shop to have it printed the correct size.
DeleteMine is not letting me edit the color. I have downloaded all the fonts and I have it opened in Adobe Reader on my mac. Are there any other tips you could give me? I can't find the "format field properties" toolbar anywhere.
ReplyDeleteif you hit control E for macs, it will let you change the text color, font size and even font. I think it is command E for PCs

DeleteThe minute I sent my other reply I opened it again and tried just common E (not really sure why I didn't do that before) and it worked! Thank you for your reply!
ReplyDeleteHello and thank you for sharing this amazing printout! Is there a way to change from Kindergarten to Preschool?
ReplyDeleteI downloaded both of these and there are no text boxes for me to edit. It says the file is protected and therefore not editable.
ReplyDeleteI want to download the editable grade file but I'm getting a 404 error, file not found. Could you please redirect me to this file:

ReplyDeleteCome follow along on the new site as new freebies are added every Friday and your downloads never expire under your account! :) www.grantavenuedesign.com
Any idea how to change the fonts on a chromebook. I have adobe reader and I can write all the editable areas but the font of the name, and "I want to be", and "favorite book" are a jumble. Super Cute printable! Thank you for offering for FREE!
ReplyDeleteCan you please make one that we can edit to put YOUNG 5's or Pre-K on instead of just Preschool or Kindergarten??? I'm going to try somehow adding PRE- above the Kindergarten with a chalk marker or something if it will let me. Also can this be printed on anything smaller thatn 16X20?
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone have the editable PDF of the First day of X Grade? The link says it's no longer available. Need it in the pink and green color for a girl and need it emailed as the editable PDF.
ReplyDeleteThe page is not longer available! I have been using this for my son since Pre-K. I am heart broken!
ReplyDeleteThe link no longer works
ReplyDeleteNo! The link isn’t working- been using this for the last 3 years! Please put it back!
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone have the kindergarten eidtable form? I have the first day of school I could share, but I don't have the kindergarten one and I want my kids to have the same one! TYIA!

ReplyDeleteI would love the first day of school if you still have it. I don’t have the kindergarten one but it looks like Kim does below
DeleteI have the first day of Kindergarten if you are still interested and am looking for the first day of school.
