Each page with a free printable has a colourful box that asks for an email and name. It's usually towards the bottom. You need to enter your email address, (name optional) press the button and the pdf will open in google drive. Then you can click on the print icon to print it directly or an icon to download it to your computer. Giving me your email address means I will occasionally email with other free printables I have created. However, you are free to unsubscribe at anytime, even right after downloading a free printable. All my printables are free and follow the same pattern, except for the 3 printables in my store. If you have any trouble navigating, please let me know where the trouble is and I will help you.
