Free Leap Year Printables for Kids

This free printable Leap Year Learning Packet contains information about Leap Year and Leap Day traditions, why it is necessary, and more. The 8-page booklet is very visually appealing for kids, full of fun graphics and activities to help them learn more about Leap Day while keeping them engaged.

You and your kids or students will love these no-prep Leap Day pages to learn more about traditions around the world, as well as to practice some math skills as well as other activities.

This printable packet is perfect for use before February 29th to prepare for Leap Day. You can also save all of the pages to read through and complete on Leap Day. However, there is a countdown on one part of a page to countdown from February 1st until Leap Day. That is an optional portion of the page. Don’t worry if you don’t use that throughout the month!

Age and Grade Levels for the Free Leap Year Printables Packet

The Leap Day printables are good for children in mid- to upper elementary and middle school, although they may also work for children both younger and older than that. Since this is a totally free packet, this is a great opportunity to grab the packet and pick and choose to use whatever is appropriate for your children or students.

Children younger than that age range may also enjoy and benefit from the Leap Year Printables Packet. However, they may need some assistance with some of the math-centered sections of the packet. This could be a great opportunity to talk about some of the math as a group rather than having children work on that individually.

How to Grab and Print The Leap Day Printables Set

To find the printable packet, scroll toward the bottom of this post. Just under the terms of use section, you’ll find a graphic and a text link to grab the printable. The text link will say >>>> Grab The Free Leap Year Printables Set <<<<.

The pdf file for the Leap Day Printables Set will open in a new window. Once you open it, you can either print right from there or save the freebie to your computer or device to print later. (I recommend saving and then printing after opening it on your computer or device.)

If you have any printing issues, I have some tips here that can help with a variety of issues that sometimes pop up because of different web browsers or updates.

I recommend printing this packet on regular white printer paper, as there are several pages with colored graphics on them. To save on printing costs, however, the pages will all still look great if you print the packet on white paper and in black and white instead of color.

If you plan to make a whole day out of your Leap Year learning, you could also consider printing on white cardstock and putting in a spiral binding or comb binding. This way, children can save this for later and look at it again in four years, especially because of the Leap Year Time Capsule page.
