Be aware that the SVG and EPS files are in black and white. If you choose to print in color, you will need to set those colors within your software manually.
- If you’re not using a cutting machine, print a copy of the template and trace it on cardstock or construction paper. Cut the pieces apart.

You’ll want to start by printing out the Johnny Appleseed template that can be found at the bottom of this page for free.
After printing a copy of the template then trace it on cardstock or construction paper and cut the pieces apart.
If you have children old enough to cut out the pieces that would be great for working fine motor skills.
