Why use Japanese worksheets?
- Kids can play without reading. Mazes, coloring, spot the difference and dot-to-dot work with pictures and numbers.
- A little Japanese on every sheet. Each sheet has one short instruction in Japanese. We translate it and show how to say it, so you can read it together.
- For families anywhere. Whether you live in Japan or overseas, it’s a gentle first touch of Japanese at home.
At the top of every sheet there are three small boxes. They are just for writing the date and name — you can leave them empty.
Printing tips
- The PDFs are A4 size (the standard paper in Japan). On US Letter paper, choose “Fit to page” (or “Scale to fit”) in the print window so nothing gets cut off.
- Living in Japan without a printer? Convenience stores (7-Eleven, Lawson, FamilyMart) can print PDFs from your phone.
- Free, no sign-up, no email. Just open the PDF and print.
