Christmas Name Cards | Editable Door Display & Desk Cards
Every child's name, in a Santa hat.
Type your class list once, print, and cut along the black edge — arch cards for the classroom door, flat cards for desks and the party table. Nine Santa-hat faces cycle through five Christmas colours, so no two cards sitting side by side look the same. Perfect for the last weeks of term, a Christmas door display, or place names at the class party.
What's included:
- Read Me First page: printing, typing names, and the Canva option
- Door Display Cards: 28 arch cards, four to a page — with sample names, blank, and EDITABLE
- Desk Name Cards: 16 landscape cards, four to a page — with sample names, blank, and EDITABLE
- Canva Templates page with a tappable link for each set
- Terms of Use
How it works:
- Open the EDITABLE file in the free Adobe Acrobat Reader, or tap through to the Canva template.
- Click a name box and type. The name centres itself and shrinks to fit a long one.
- Print at 100% on card, and cut around the thick black edge.
- Door cards go up on the door, desk cards go out on the tables. Done.
Why teachers love it:
- Two uses from one file: the door display and the desk or party cards
- Nine different faces, so children look for their own
- Blank versions too, for classes who want to write their own names
- Print on card and they last the whole of December
Year levels: Suits Prep to Year 6.
Keeping the names up after December?
These cards are built on our Classroom Decor Set — same grid, same cut line, same hand. The set names every desk, door, drawer and wall in your room, in six Australian school fonts, and the Editable Desk Plates carry the names on all year.
SPECIFICATIONS
Format: PDF, set up for A4 paper, delivered as a ZIP. A Read Me page inside each file covers printing and editing.
Editing: Type the names two ways — the EDITABLE PDFs open and fill in the free Adobe Acrobat Reader (the font is built in, nothing to install), or tap the link in the folder's Canva Templates PDF to edit the same design in Canva (a free account is fine). Everything else is flattened to protect the design and the artwork we license.
Printing: Open in a PDF reader and choose 'Actual size'. Card gives the best result for anything that gets handled; plain paper is fine for the door. Do a test page first.
Licence: One classroom, one teacher. Please don't share, resell or post the file online; send your colleagues here to grab their own free copy.
TECHNICAL SUPPORT
You'll need a PDF reader on your device — the free Adobe Acrobat Reader is the most reliable, and it's what the editable PDFs are built for. Double-click the downloaded file to open it.
If a page shows on screen but won't print properly, open it in Acrobat Reader, choose Print → Advanced → tick 'Print as image'.

FAQS
Can I type my own class list?
Yes — that's what the EDITABLE files are for. Open one in Adobe Acrobat Reader, click a name and type. There's a Canva version too if you'd rather work there.
The names won't type in Preview or my browser.
Editable PDFs only fill in properly in Adobe Acrobat Reader — it's free. Preview, Chrome and Google Drive will show the file but not let you type into it.
Where is my download?
Check your inbox (and junk folder) for the email from Mrs Edgar with your link. You can also log in to your account at mrsedgar.com.au and download it from your order.
It came as a ZIP file — how do I open it?
On a Mac, double-click it. On Windows, right-click and choose 'Extract All'. Your PDFs will be inside.
Can I print in black and white?
These are designed for colour — the red and green is the point. They print well on a home inkjet or the school colour copier, on plain paper or card.
The download won't start on my school computer.
Some school networks block downloads. Try again at home, or right-click the link and choose 'Save link as'.
