Shiny Medals

medals_gold.pdf pages: 1 (29 medals per sheet) size: 856KB Does your child deserve a medal? Of course he does!! Print out these sheets onto metallic peel-and-stick inkjet paper and then cut out the medals. They make a great rewards. The medals are overprinted with yellow to give a very nice "gold" effect on the shiny paper.

medals_silver.pdf pages: 1 (29 medals per sheet) size: 824KB Ok, maybe they're not so angelic? .. but perhaps they still deserve a silver medal? These are exactly the same as the gold ones but without the yellow overprint. For a whacky alternative you can print these on peel-and-stick "glow in the dark" paper (a bit hard to find, but worth the effort) ...spooky! Or you can even use them on fluorescent coloured paper. ...psychedelic man!
