Are you looking for our latest Christmas printables? Well, you can find them on the Christmas area of our site, or just click on the links which interest you below.
Are you making jams, jellies or preserves? We’ve added these pretty labels to our pantry label range, and you’re welcome to download and print them for free. We’ve only put the name of the fruit on each label, so that they’ll do for jam or jelly or anything of that kind. Hope you find them useful, and good luck with your jam-making project! x
Ah summer… and colouring. Two of our favourite things rolled into one!
Our colouring is aimed at children rather than adults, although grown-ups are welcome to it too, of course. After all, studies have shown that simply colouring in a picture is good for your mental health – a relaxing pastime no matter what age you are.
Anyway, we’ve put all our summer colouring faves together below so they’re easy to scroll through, starting with a pirate and a pirate cat:
Or how about some lovely, simple-to-colour summery unicorns?
Hello! For those of you celebrating the 4th of July this year, we thought we’d create a quick post to show you which printables we’ve got on the site that could come in handy. Please find them below.
Party Cones
First up are a few party cones, useful as hats or containers for popcorn, candy and snacks.
Snack/Candy Baskets
Next up are our printable paper baskets. You can put snacks such as candy, popcorn, chips or cookies in them and they’ll make your party table look gorgeous!
Coloring Pages
Hoping to involve the kids? Why not print them one of these 4th July coloring pages. They’ll add that all-the-family vibe to your celebratory decor.
Best of the Rest
And finally, here are the other printable bits and bobs we think could be of use for your Independence Day decorating endeavours.
It’s always nice to make your own decorations for Independence Day and online printables are a fun way to get started. They’re also great for getting the kids involved. We hope that whether you’re making paper chains, coloring posters in, crafting baskets or hanging up bunting, you have a lovely time and a magical 4th of July.
If you’re looking for things to print out for St George’s Day this year, we’ve gathered all ours together below. You might also want to check out our general dragon page for further ideas.

St George’s Day Story for Young Children
One of the problems with the St George’s Day story is that like many old tales, it can be viewed as a bit violent and sexist by today’s standards. While this isn’t such an issue for older children who can understand it’s of its time, it can make it hard to tell to little ones. With this in mind, we’ve created what we hope is a slightly more child-friendly version of the story. We haven’t changed the core narrative, but we have retold it by:
making it clear that this particular dragon was dangerous and cruel;
empowering the princess to take part in deciding her own fate, rather than just being treated as an object for her father to give away as a prize in a male battle;
glossing over the violence of the fight between the dragon and George, which in many of the older stories is a bit gory and drawn out.
St George Activity Idea for Older Children:
If you are dealing with older rather than younger children, you could create a great learning activity by telling them a more adult version of the story and asking them how they would change it to tell to a younger child, or to suit a modern audience.
Other Activities:
This St George’s Day word search is another fun printable activity. Just click/tap it to download the free PDF.
There are two more word searches below which are suitable for St George’s Day.
Ah spring. (At least if, like us, you’re in the northern hemisphere.) The lambs, the daffodils, the bluebells, the light. Goodness, we’ve missed the light. And of course, Easter around the corner. It’s always a bit of rush in our house to get everything done, unlike Christmas, which seems to be hanging around from September onwards these days. We always feel that Easer rather jumps out from around the proverbial corner – and a mad scramble for eggs, decorations and magical Easter Bunny printables is pretty much guaranteed. Talking of which, our top picks for this year are below…
Easter Bunny Certificates:
We’ve built up quite a few of these over the years, and you can find all of them on this page. However, our four favourites are a follows:
Easter Bunny Letters and/or Notes
As with the certificates, we’ve created a fair few of these now but these are the ones we like the best. Hopefully, you’ll like them too:
Easter Decorations:
From the minute the Easter Holidays start it can be great fun to gather up some children and make the house look lovely. The spring decorations we like most are below, though it’s also worth hunting around the internet for more such things, for as much as we’d love you to stay on this site forever, there are lots of other gorgeous decorative ideas out there.
Easter Bilby Resources:
Okay, so we’re based in the UK, but we love the idea of the Easter Bilby and for any Australians out there, these are the four bilby resources to make sure you don’t miss:
Easter Fairy Newspaper
Our Easter issue of our printable fairy newspaper, The Midnight Messenger is also available as a bit of free magic for your child. It’s best read in the run-up to Easter and will let your child know all about what’s going in the Easter Bunny’s chocolate factory under the ground.
Happy new year! We hope 2021 brings much joy and magic to you and your little ones.
January is always a quiet month for our site but for those of you who have taken the time to pop by (thanks!), we’ve collected together what we think are the most useful printables for this month. Many are old favourites but there are one or two new resources as well. Just scroll down and you’ll find them below…

Ah Midsummer! What a wonderful, magical time. It conjures up long light evenings, fairies of the forests and fields, Shakespearean fantasies, and moonlit picnics. We love all these things and more. Whether you’re celebrating the Solstice or having a Midsummer’s Eve Party or just a family celebration on Midsummer’s Day, all our Midsummer printables are on this page.
