Doodara publishes two printable PDFs for kids who want to make a book with a pencil — free, with no account, no email address, and no newsletter signup. Download both at [doodara.com/free-printables](https://www.doodara.com/free-printables). ## Make Your Own Picture Book Kit A complete blank book a child fills in themselves. Inside: * A grown-up page with the five steps that keep kids from stalling halfway. * A cover sheet with title and author lines. * A character sheet — invent the hero before worrying about the plot. * A story planner: beginning, problem, ending. * An about-the-author page and a published-author certificate for the end. The order matters. Most children stall because they are asked to invent a plot before they have a character to hang it on; the kit deliberately does the character first. ## Story Prompt Cards A deck of story starters to cut out. Every card has a title and a follow-up question, so the card does not just say *a dragon* — it asks what the dragon is afraid of. Three ways to play: tell it out loud, write it down, or draw two cards and mash them together. Works at bedtime, in the car, or as a classroom writing warm-up. ## Paper sizes Both kits come in A4 and US Letter. Print either at 100% scale — do not use "fit to page", which shrinks the margins the fold lines depend on. ## Using them in a classroom Teachers, librarians, and homeschool co-ops are welcome to print as many copies as they need for their own students. Both PDFs download directly from the page with no account required, so there is nothing to distribute but the link. ## When the drawing stalls A common pattern: the child has a great story and gives up at the illustrations, because the picture in their head is better than what their hands can do. That is exactly the gap Doodara fills — type the story they told you into the [creator](https://www.doodara.com/create) and let the AI illustrate it. The story is still theirs. Print it and staple it into the kit's cover. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://doodara.gitbook.io/doodara-docs/sharing/free-printable-story-kits.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
