HOW DOES THIS WORK?
All of our resources are digital files which are emailed to you shortly after purchase. With over 500 products to choose from you can make your purchase from our blog shop, Teachers Pay Teachers store or Etsy.
Once delivered to your inbox, you can download and print the pages you need for class immediately.
Many of our classroom decor resources can also be edited to suit your needs. You can choose your own fonts, add in text, change their size to make them uniquely yours.
Our editable resources are created as Microsoft PowerPoint files and you will need an up to date version of PowerPoint to open and edit the file.
Our other resources are PDFs so you will require a PDF Reader to open these files. I recommend installing Adobe's free PDF Reader on your computer.

OUR TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
HOW LONG WILL I HAVE ACCESS TO THE FILE?
You will have access to the resource for the lifetime of the product. Updates made to the resource will also me made available to you at no extra cost. You may want to follow us on Instagram or subscribe to our newsletter to make sure you don't miss anything. Adding our email address to your safe sender list will also ensure you don't miss any updates coming your way.
HOW MANY TIMES CAN I DOWNLOAD THE FILE?
You can use the link provided to download your file whenever you need but you can not share the link with anyone else. Copying any part of our products and placing them online in any form is strictly prohibited. This is a breach of our copyright and the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). Use of our resources for commercial purposes is also strictly forbidden without written permission. They are intended for single classroom use only.
WHERE CAN FIND THE PERMISSION TO PRINT?
You can find the print permission on the last page of all of our resources if you are wanting to have somewhere like Staples or Officeworks print pages for you.
DO I NEED A PASSWORD FOR THE PDF FILES?
Some of our resources have been saved as PDFs to help secure their formatting and/or to meet copyright restrictions. To protect this, a password has been added to prevent editing only, not to prevent printing. If you are using a PDF reader that asks for a password, it's recognising a password applies but isn't able to distinguish why. Try downloading and saving the file before opening it in ADOBE Reader which is free to download. Install ABODE, restart your computer to apply the install and then reopen your saved PDF with ADOBE Reader or the paid version Acrobat Pro.
WHY ARE THERE BOXES PRINTING ON MY PDF?
Sometime you will see black boxes appear behind images on your PDF. It usually means your ADOBE Reader needs updating but it is very annoying as it doesn't show up on your print preview... something I discovered one night after printing 52 pages at home! To resolve this, update your PDF Reader, restart your computer to install the update and then print a single test page to ensure all is good. I also recommend only printing from your downloaded saved copy as the back boxes sometimes appear when printing from the preview screen that opens in your browser window.
WHY DO THE FONTS LOOK DIFFERENT?
All of our editable resources have been created as PowerPoint files. The fonts have been saved to the file but you will need an up to date version of Microsoft PowerPoint for this functionality to work correctly. I've used the online version of Microsoft Office 365 to create these editable resources.
Download your copy and save it to your computer or USB. Open the saved version for printing rather than using the one that sometimes opens in your browser window as this may also impact some of the saved functionality. If your fonts are misaligned on opening, this usually indicates the version of PowerPoint you are using doesn't recognise the saved functionality or, in some cases, your school server is blocking this function. Given the different systems and versions of PowerPoint people may be using, I can not guarantee the saved fonts will be available to all users but I have used them for demonstration purposes to show you how you might consider using the various resources. All of the text in our PowerPoint files can easily by changed to your own choice of font.
I LIKE THE FONTS YOU USE. WHERE CAN I FIND THEM?
You can find all of the fonts used in our resources credited on the final page of each file.
CAN I OPEN THE POWERPOINT FILES IN GOOGLE SLIDES OR DOCS?
PowerPoint files can be opened in other programs like Keynote and Google Slides or Docs but some of the functionality unique to PowerPoint may not work when opened in other programs like the saved fonts. Google does not allow for fonts to be imported currently. This simply means any saved fonts will be substituted on opening but does not impact your ability to use the file or edit the text to suit your own needs. Please be aware due to the large size of some files, not every PowerPoint will be able to opened in Google.
WHERE IS YOUR PRIVACY POLICY?
WHY DID YOU CHANGE YOUR BUSINESS NAME?
In 2011 I was curious about how blogs worked so decided to start my own. It was going to be a little corner of the internet where I would share play ideas from home and teaching ideas from the classroom while I learnt something new. I called it you clever monkey, something my teacher mum often said to me growing up. She's been gone too many years now but the blog's name feels like a little piece is still with us...
So for me the name is sentimental but in more recent year I'm was also mindful that when not viewed through this same lens, the phrase may cause others distress so a name change was required.
In mid 2022, I finally settled on classroomHQ and I think it's a great fit for what my little corner of the internet has become.
WHAT HAPPENS TO YOU CLEVER MONKEY NOW?
With years of memories from both home and the classroom shared in this blog, I have chosen to leave it up but I've also started a new blog - www.classroomHQ.com
This old blog will still have a mix of teaching and play ideas while the new blog will work to compliment our shop.
All of our resources will continue to be available from ClassroomHQ although the existing product covers and links will take me a little while to update so please do not be too concerned if you still spot the old logos on our back catalogue in the meanwhile.
