My 1st grader and preschooler love these! I thought they couldn’t get any better until I realized short I is one download. Super easy! Thank you!

You’re welcome, Angie! I’m trying to put things in fewer downloads as I update old posts. Eventually I will put giant sets into single downloads for a small fee, but the individual files will still be free. So glad you like these!
