If you’re Cornish and it’s the 5th of March, happy St Piran’s Day! If you’re not Cornish and you’re wondering what we’re talking about, St Piran is the patron saint of Cornwall. He’s also considered to be the protector of tin mines and the tinners who worked in them, and of animals. In fact, it was thought that animals were the some of the first to follow him when her first arrived in Cornwall, and he could speak to them as easily as to human beings.
Interestingly enough, legend has it that St Piran was actually Irish and thrown out of Ireland, into the sea by a malicious king. However, he was said to have been saved from drowning by God, and washed up safe and sound on the Cornish coast. He began preaching there and built a small church called St. Piran’s Oratory at Penhale Sands in Perranporth. People still visit the spot today.
Every year, he is celebrated in Cornwall with processions, parades and much merrymaking. Daffodils are the flowers most often used to decorate, either in vases or as a buttonhole. Feasting is also popular, particularly of traditional Cornish food. Because of the time of year, St Piran’s Day is very much a spring festival. It’s a time of joy that the weather is getting warmer and an opportunity to give thanks that the winter has been survived.
We don’t have a huge number of St Piran’s Day printables yet, but if you’re thinking of celebrating, you might find something useful from the selection below:
Now that Christmas is over, it’s time to write those thank you notes. For very young children or those who are easily bored, it can help to have a printable note to fill in. If that’s what you’re looking for, ours are below. Good luck and all the best for the new year!
Of course, you might be looking for some blank notepaper instead, so that your little one can write their own thank you message from beginning to end. If that’s the case, you might find this printable notepaper useful:
Looking for printables for your Burns Night celebrations? We’ve put all our favourite Robert Burns and Scottish themed decorations (new and old) here in one place. We hope you have lovely evening on January 25th. Here’s to one of Scotland’s finest poets!
More Burns Night invitations and printables:
Burns Night is a celebration which is held to remember the Scottish poet, Robert Burns. It takes place either on or near his birthday, which is January 25th.
Today, it is celebrated by Scottish people all over the world, often by way of eating a supper which includes a haggis, neeps and tatties. A favoured drink on Burns Night is whisky. Selections of Burns’ poetry are often read out loud, which given his rythmic style and wonderful talent for conjuring up images full of emotion, is a real treat.
If you’ve never been to a Burns Night supper and you get invited to one, go! It’s a great night out.
It’s always fun for the children to do a bit of colouring in, so as summer gets going, (in the northern hemisphere anyway), we thought we’d post a collection of our printable seaside colouring pages:
Whether you’re after magical makebelieve like mermaids, or pictures of real ocean creatures such as the giant squid, we hope your family will enjoy colouring these beach and sea themed scenes.
If you’re planning a barbecue, why not go the whole hog and decorate your garden? It’s a great way to involve the kids and is sure to amuse your guests… decorations are always a good talking point as people mingle. And if you’re not able to have guests, decorations can still help make for some memorable photographs which you can then post on social media and share with your friends. Everyone loves seeing a bit of family creativity!
Here’s what we’ve got in the way of printables to help you:

A few people have asked us whether we have any horse riding certificates and up until now we’ve had to say no. However, we recently created these two which we hope you’ll find useful.
Please Note: To type text onto these certificates, you will need to open them in a good PDF reader such as Adobe’s. If your browser opens them automatically, you may find you cannot type on them, in which case just find the “download” option and save them to your machine.
This riding certificate template is an editable PDF, ready for you to type on. It’s completely free for personal use, though if you’re using it on other sites or social media, we do ask that you give a shout out or link. That’s because having lots of people visit our site lets us keep our printables free.
Or you might prefer the template below. There’s lots of room on it for you to add the name of your own stables or other organisation, along with the details of whomever it’s for. Then all you have to do it print it out.
