Osaka Printables for Kids

All ages

The first printables are up, and they are all Osaka, not a generic city with a castle on the front. The takoyaki they will actually be handed hot off the griddle. The giant crab sign they will actually crane up at. The whale shark they will actually press their face to the glass for.

What this actually is

This library started as things I was making for my own three kids, before it was ever something to sell. I taught social studies for eight years, and Osaka makes that easy, a castle on one side and the neon roar of Dotonbori on the other, a city kids read without being told to.

Gavin, Jake and Avilene are on the pages doing the same job your kid will do with the book in hand. Look closer. Ask a real question. Keep something to bring home.

For the whole family

Bingo is the cheapest thing here and the one that gets used the most. A card in a small hand changes a long walk completely.

More on the way

London has the full library, ten printables and six bundles, and Osaka is getting the same. The Discovery Deck, the City Activity Book, the History Hunt, the travel day books, the Family Cookbook and the Keepsake Pack come next, then the bundles after that. If you want to know when they go up, the free Osaka guide below is the easiest place to check back.

Planning the trip too?

The full Osaka family travel guide is free and sits right here on the site, and the wider Japan guide is next to it: where to stay, how many nights, what is worth the queue and what is not.

And if you would rather hand the whole thing to somebody, that is my actual job. Tell me who is coming and when.
