Questions and guides
How to create a worksheet, how many pairs to choose, and what happens to your pictures.
- Choose a mode. Join with a line is the classic: a picture on the left, its pair on the right, the child connects them. Sorting puts pictures into two or three groups. Cut and glue is the same as joining, without the pencil.
- Pick a theme, for example "Jobs and their things" - the cook goes with the pan, the firefighter with the fire.
- Set the number of pairs. The slider runs from three to eight, and the preview updates as you move it.
- Check the preview. What you see is exactly what prints: it is the same drawing code, once into the browser and once into the PDF.
- Download the PDF and print it at 100 %.
- Age 3: three pairs, captions on. Most children this age cannot yet steer a line between two points - try cut and glue instead.
- Age 4: four or five pairs. The line does not have to be straight; what matters is that it joins the right pictures.
- Age 5: six pairs, which is the default.
- Age 6 and up: seven or eight pairs, and you can turn the captions off.
More pairs means smaller pictures. When they would get too small for a child to tell apart, the download button switches off and the app says why.
There are two ways a picture gets onto a sheet:
- The picture library - over 800 drawings, searchable in English and Slovak. Accents are optional: "kuchar" finds "kuchár".
- Your own photos - drag them in. They are processed entirely in your browser and never sent to a server. Close the tab and they are gone.
Library pictures are fitted into their box so nothing is cut off. Photos are cropped to a square from the middle.
The answer key switch adds a second page to the PDF: the same sheet with the correct links drawn in. In cut-and-glue mode it shows which picture belongs in which box instead of drawing lines.
The shuffle button reorders the right-hand column, so the same theme can come back next week without being the same puzzle. Every sheet carries its number at the foot of the page, so you can get back to one.
Yes. The whole app is free, with no registration and no limit on how many worksheets you make. Advertising on the site covers running it.
No. No account and no email address. Open the page, build a sheet, download the PDF.
Nothing - they never leave your browser. The worksheet and the PDF are assembled on your own device, so there is no way for us to see your photos. Close the tab and they are gone.
Because a worksheet a child cannot finish on one sheet of paper stops being a worksheet. Rather than spilling onto a second page, the pictures shrink - and when they would get too small, we tell you and suggest fewer pairs instead.
Yes. The PDF embeds the Quicksand font, which contains č, ľ, ť, ĺ, ŕ, ď and ň. Without it the PDF would fall back to built-in Helvetica, which has none of them, and "Veľkosť" would print as "Velkost".
The pictures come from the OpenMoji project and are licensed CC BY-SA 4.0. Printing and using a finished sheet at home or in a classroom is completely free of conditions. If you want to publish it online or sell it, you have to credit OpenMoji and share it under the same CC BY-SA 4.0 licence. Sheets built only from colours, shapes, numbers or letters contain no OpenMoji artwork at all, so none of this applies to them.
We wanted one, but it cannot be built. The picture library has only two usable mother-and-baby pairs (hen and chick, butterfly and caterpillar); there is simply no puppy, kitten, calf or lamb. Try "What animals give us" instead, which practises the same thing.
Ordinary 80 gsm office paper. Heavier 120 gsm paper is only worth it for cut-and-glue mode, where the pieces get handled.
Yes. Both the generator and the game work on touch devices. On a tablet you can play directly - the child taps the pairs instead of drawing lines.
Because it would not mean anything. In domino an opponent has something to decide, because it cannot see your tiles. Here the whole worksheet is visible and unambiguous, so a "computer" would just click the right answers one after another. And a race between two children on one device is always won by the older one, which is the opposite of what matching is for.
