Hello! As you’ll know if you’re a regular visitor to this site, we add new printable colouring pages whenever we can. Here are our latest offerings, many of which have been created with the upcoming season of autumn in mind. We hope you find them useful and that if your children are heading back to school this September, they have a great term.
For little ones who love fairies, these easy-to-make garlands are a great way to make a fairy party look magical. They also look great in bedrooms… where the fairies can watch over you all night long.
To make this decoration, you will need:
STEP 1
Decide how many fairies you need for your garland, then print them by clicking the fairy pictures below. (Each one will take you to a pdf file of that fairy pendant – three per page.)
STEP 2
Cut around the oval cloudscapes containing the fairies, so that you can fold each one to make a double sided paper pendant. Tip: You might find it easier to fold each pendant over the string/wool before you glue the two halves together, so that you don’t have to thread it through.
STEP 3
Stick the two halves of each pendant together but only glue about half or two thirds of the blank side, leaving a nice wide unglued bit at the top for your string/wool to go through. This makes it much easier to rethread if you want to rearrange anything – you won’t have to fiddle about trying to force your string through a very small space! Finally, you might like to know that when we made ours, we found wool much better than string – it just seemed better at holding each fairy in place.
STEP 4
Hang your magical string of fairies anywhere in your home or garden. Well done! If they’ve turned out anything like ours it was worth the effort – and we hope your children enjoy them. A final tip: once the glue was dry we trimmed each oval to make sure there were no bits of white paper from the other side showing around the edges.
It’s summer in the Northern Hemisphere, officially from 21st June to 22nd of September 2017, and for many families, this means celebrations of all kinds. Perhaps you have a summer birthday in your clan? Or you can’t wait to treat the kids to a barbecue? Maybe you’re a fan of Midsummer Night’s Eve? Or you just can’t think of anything lovelier than drinks, nibbles or whole feasts in the garden?
Whatever the case, we’ve created a couple of quick decorations for you to craft. There are links to flower, burger, and fruit garlands below, all ready to print out.
This printable blue and pink flower garland is a great way to decorate your house, garden or balcony for summer parties, barbecues or just because you want to add a bit of summer colour to your life. Here’s what you need: a printer, a pair of scissors, some wool/string and (optionally) some glue.
We know it’s pretty obvious how and make this garland, but we’ve added some steps below to make it even easier. We hope you (and your children) have a great time decorating for your summer party!
STEP 1
Print as many flowers as you want to include in your garland by clicking on the pictures below. (Each one will take you to a pdf file of that flower.)
STEP 2
Carefully cut out your flowers. Now fold them in half but here’s a tip: You might find it easier to fold them over the string/wool before you glue the two halves together, so that you don’t have to thread it through.
STEP 3
Stick the two halves together but only glue about half or two thirds of the blank side, leaving a nice wide unglued bit at the top for your string/wool to go through. This makes it much easier to rethread if you want to rearrange anything – you won’t have to fiddle about trying to force your string through a very small space! Finally, you might like to know that when we made ours, we found wool much better than string – it just seemed better at holding each flower in place.
STEP 4
Hang your beautiful string of flowers somewhere in your garden or home and give yourself big pat on the back for such brilliant crafting! As you can see, we hung ours in our garden, just above our gate. A final tip: once the glue was dry we trimmed each flower to make sure there were no bits of white paper showing around the edges.
If flowers aren’t right for you, or if you’re looking for something that might be more popular with boys, you could…
These are great for barbecues, just use the picture below to print cut out, fold over string and stick. (You make these exactly the same way as the flower garland, so if you’re stuck, just use the crafting steps above.)
You could also jazz up any summer party with this delicious-looking decorations…

There are many beautiful Tooth Fairy letters out there in the cloud and some of the loveliest ones are very small. Fairy-sized in fact. However, it can be rather fiddly to find a tiny pen (and perhaps your strongest reading glasses!) to write one yourself, so we thought we’d post a couple that are ready-written and free to print out. All you’ll need to make yours is a pair of scissors a dab of glue for the tiny envelope flaps.
So far, we’ve got two letters for a general tooth pick-up and one for a first tooth. Each comes with a matching envelope for a girl or a boy – whichever you want. (They’re all below.) If you’d rather print a normal-sized letter instead, you can still find a range of them on our Tooth Fairy notes page. We’ll be tracking how busy this page is and if it proves popular, we’ll make more miniature letters in the not-to-distant future.
Just click on the picture of the Tooth Fairy letter you want and you’ll be taken to a PDF file to print and/or download. It’s all free but if you like these and want to support us, come back and see us soon, join our mailing list, or let a friend know. Happy crafting!
If your children speak French, you might also like these tiny letters:
If you’re a bit of a fairy crafting fiend, dipping your tiny Tooth Fairy letter in ultra fine glitter before you put it in the envelope will make it sparkle beautifully when your child takes it out. The glitter won’t stick unless it’s the very fine kind though, like the glitter you see people using for nail art. The best place to find some is probably ebay. Also, beware, it can get everywhere and if you spill it on the carpet you’ll spot the occasional sparkle for months, in spite of your best efforts to vacuum it away. We recommend using it on a tray.
Don’t forget we also have a range of bigger notes, not to mention Tooth Fairy certificates you can print out – for those who find it a bit easier to use something human rather than fairy-sized!
It may be early but with the shops already stocking up for Easter, we thought we’d post a quick collection of resources which you might find useful in the run up to that happy spring Sunday. Oh – and in case you’re reading this and thinking to yourself, “When is Easter this year? I must check! we’ve already googled it for you and it’s Sunday, April 16th.
To get back to the point, all the printables below are meant to help children get some fun out of preparing for Easter early, whether it’s through a reminder to be good between now and then from the Easter Bunny, or simply making a mountain of Easter paper chains! We hope you find them useful.
If you’re wondering what they look like made up, here’s a couple more photos of our Easter paper chains:
Hello dear visitors! First of all a big thank you to all of you who have dropped us a line since the new year with your fairy requests and ideas. We LOVE to hear your thoughts. As you know, we don’t always have time to make everything we would want to, but we do try to answer everyone and create the printables that seem the most popular.
This month, the Tooth Fairy has been much in demand, so as you’ll see further down this page, we’ve done what we can. We’ve had a couple of people asking for other magical bits and pieces too, and they’re also below. We hope you enjoy them!
Remember that if your little one is fairy mad, we’ve got lots of other free resources too.
For example you might like our fairy bookmarks or our fairy paper dolls. Our fairy colouring pages also remain popular, which always surprises us what with all the low-cost easily available colouring books these days!
If you have a particular fairy printable you’d like to see on this site, you can always get in touch and tell us about it. Sometimes people use our Facebook page but we’re always happy for you to drop us a line directly on:
We can’t always create everything we’re asked to but we try to please as many people as possible, so ideas which we think would be useful to a large number of parents are likely to get priority. A big thanks once more to all who have already got in touch. x
Hello visitor! If you’re a regular you may have noticed we’ve been adding to our birthday printables lately, with a special focus on certificates. However, because they’re from all sorts of magical people, they’re scattered all over the site. This page is here to bring them all together so you can see what’s new.
All the birthday certificates we’ve created so far are below. It goes without saying that if your child is having a birthday, we wish him/her a truly wonderful time.
We’re always adding extra colouring in pages here and there throughout our site, so we try to keep this post updated with the latest ones, all in one place:
Here are some more you might have missed:
More coming soon!
This printable fruit garland is a great way to decorate your house for summer parties, barbecues or just because you want to freshen up your child’s bedroom. All you need is a printer, a pair of scissors, some wool/string and (optionally) some glue.
We know you can probably make this garland without instructions, but we’ve added some steps below, just to help out. We hope you (and your children) have as much fun making it as we did!
STEP 1
Print the slices of fruit you want to include in your garland by clicking on the pictures below. (Each one will take you to a pdf file of that fruit.)
STEP 2
Carefully cut out your fruit slices and fold them in half. Each one is a perfect circle, to make this easy.
STEP 3
Hang the folded fruit slices over a piece of string or wool. TIP: If you are making a long garland and you find the fruit slices are sliding about, tie knots in the string in between each one, to keep them in place. Alternatively, stretch the string straight (like a washing line) and smear/brush some glue along it, then place the fruit slices where you want them before leaving to dry. Once dry, they should stay in place.
STEP 4
Hang it somewhere in your home! We chose our fireplace because we were a bit short on time… but you can probably think of somewhere much nicer. They do look especially nice in children’s bedrooms.
Hello Americans! As you might know, we’re based in the UK, but we had a bit of extra time this month so we thought we’d create some Independence Day printables for you to enjoy. Here they are, listed below…
We hope you have fun preparing for the big day in 2016 and wish you a very happy Fourth of July. xx
