    Thank you for these links. I bought a book for my daughter but it wasn’t nearly as good as these print outs!

    Thank you so much for posting these! We are Americans living in Australia who as a family are learning Japanese. My two girls were very excited when I showed them the practice sheets I printed off. Anything with cute pictures is always a plus! I have told my friends who are learning Japanese as well to check out your blog. I was have a hard time finding good resources. You have saved me heaps of time. Thanks for sharing!

    Hi Hiragana Mama, thank you for sharing this link. I am searching free printable hiragana for my 5yrs old son. And this is very helpful!! I am Indonesia mama, and my son is going to Japanese school, I guess it is hard for him to learn Japanese. But hopefully, we can learn together ^_^
