Both downloads are the free edition. The .bobo file opens in BoboCreate Desktop.

The editable file imports in BoboCreate Free 0.3.19 or later. It uses one of Free's three design places, and its own artwork does not count toward your three uploaded images. Older versions of the app need BoboCreate activated to import it, so update BoboCreate first.

What the free template includes

10 Level 1 prompt cards with example pictures
A print-ready US Letter PDF
An editable .bobo file for BoboCreate Desktop

Print at true size

Print on US Letter at Actual Size / 100% — never Fit to Page — and measure the 1-inch square before you cut. Plain 20–24 lb printer paper works for everything; 65 lb light cardstock makes sturdier cards and bags.

Make it

Cut the cards. Page 2: cut out the ten cards and drop them in a bag or a cup.

Pull and draw. Pull a card, set a timer for 5–10 minutes and draw. There are no wrong drawings.

Safety

A grown-up should help with scissors and do any craft-knife cutting. Paper pieces, stuffing and seal stickers can be choking hazards for children under 3. Keep them away from babies and toddlers. Use a glue stick or tape — no hot glue for children.
