How to use these pages
Community helpers is a standard preschool theme, and Pinterest searches for it every August and September. Each page shows one helper with one or two tools: the firefighter with a hose, the doctor with a stethoscope, the mail carrier with a mailbox. Faces are friendly and simple, uniforms are big shapes, and the outline is 7pt.
Teachers use the set for a theme week, one helper per day, and for a 'who helps?' matching game. The ZIP download has all ten PDFs.
What to expect at ages 3 to 5
Three-year-olds color the uniform in one color and name the job. Four- and five-year-olds match colors to real uniforms and talk about what each helper does. The teacher page has the letters A B C on the board for children who are starting to read.
Questions about these pages
Are the helpers diverse?
The pages are line art with no skin tone, so every child can color each helper to look like themselves or someone they know. Hairstyles and builds vary across the set.
Which pages are included?
Firefighter, police officer, doctor, nurse, teacher, mail carrier, chef, farmer, construction worker and veterinarian. Each is a separate PDF in A4 and US Letter.

Printing tips
Every page downloads as a PDF in A4 and US Letter. Print at 100% scale on plain paper. For toddlers, heavier paper (120 gsm or more) holds up better to enthusiastic crayon work. The ZIP bundles contain one PDF per page.
