leaflets
Small informational handouts
Leaflets are small printed sheets of paper distributed by hand, typically containing information, advertisements, or political messages: Protesters handed out leaflets at the rally.
The word also refers to the individual segments of a compound leaf, or the small flaps of tissue in heart valves.
The singular leaflet works as both noun and verb—to leaflet an area is to distribute printed materials there.
