DIY Graph Paper

Another one for the kids.

Have you ever been ready to kick back for the night, maybe catch the eleven o’clock news before drifting off to slip, only to discover that your child needs some special office supply product that you know you don’t have in the house. Whether it’s a specific color of pen, a certain brand of crayons, or special paper, you find yourself heading to whatever store is open all night to pay a fortune for this one item for school.

With six kids, it’s happened here more times than I can count. I can’t help with every item that turns up on the kids’ must-have list but I can help you with graph paper. Whether you child runs out, forgot to ask for it at a reasonable hour or even if you’re a homeschooling parent, you’ll want to bookmark this Free Online Graph Paper site.

I’ve tried a few freeware applications over the years for creating graph paper but none were as easy as these pre-made pdf files. Click on the type of graph paper you want, including dots, cross grids, light verticals and others. The form allows you to choose your borders, spacing, line weight, etc. Nothing could be easier!

Go ahead, give it a try. Then bookmark it because you never know when you’ll need graph paper.
