Big staff paper for kids
Free large-print staff paper for young children: five wide staves on one page, with room for big notes drawn by small hands.
Regular staff paper is too small for a young child. A five-year-old draws a note the size of a coin. This page has five wide staves, so a big note still fits between two lines.
How to use it
Start with line and space. Point to a line and say "line." Point to a space and say "space." Ask the child to draw one note on a line and one note in a space. That single idea is the base of reading music.
Next, draw notes that step up like stairs: line, space, line, space. Sing up as you point. Then draw notes that step down. Dot stickers, coins, or buttons also work as notes, and the child can move them around.
Only the sheet below prints. It fits letter and A4 paper. For a clean page, turn off headers and footers in the print window.
