How it works
Pakistan in bubble letters on one sideways sheet in Fredoka: a capital P, then a, k, i, s, t, a, n. Only the P and the two a's have a hole, and this font keeps all three white.

One Pakistan bubble letter per page
One letter per page, under More options, gives each letter an upright sheet: eight sheets, seven shapes, because the a comes twice. Hang them in a row, or hand one letter to each pupil.
Cities, a river and the high peaks
After a first print, open Pakistan words in bubble letters. Islamabad is the capital and Karachi the largest city; Lahore, Faisalabad, Rawalpindi, Multan, Peshawar and Quetta are among the ten largest. The Indus / River crosses the country to the Arabian / Sea. Karakoram and Hindu Kush are ranges of the northern highlands, where Nanga / Parbat stands. Khyber / Pass is a mountain pass on the Afghan border, and Mohenjo-daro a site of the Indus Valley Civilization.
- K2 prints tallest of the ready words: one letter and one digit fill the sheet. Mohenjo-daro, with its hyphen, prints smallest.
- For the tallest Pakistan pick Chewy, where the P and both a's close to dark marks. Hollow, under Look, opens all three.
- In capitals, PAKISTAN keeps its holes in the P and the two A's, and only Mochiy Pop One leaves all three white.
Questions and answers

What does K2 stand for?
The K is for Karakoram. A survey sketched the two most prominent peaks of the range and labelled them K1 and K2. Only Mount Everest is higher than K2.
