Easter Bunny Letter: Trouble with Sugar Toothed Worms
This is just a quick post to let you know that this year, we will be adding free full-length letters from the Easter Bunny to our site. The first one’s up already and we hope to have more by around the middle of February.
For anyone wondering what Easter Bunny letters are for, it’s the same sort of idea as father Christmas. The Easter Bunny visits on the night before Easter and, provided the children have been good of course, leaves behind a gift of chocolate eggs. Our letters are meant as an accompaniment to this gift and they tell of Easter Bunny’s magical journey to your house or about the adventures he has had in the run up to Easter. They’re basically little stories which can be read on Easter Day.
Families have varying traditions when it comes to where the eggs are left on Easter morning, some Easter Bunnies hide them around around the house or garden, some leave them near a sleeping child’s bed. We try to make our letters as broad as possible when it comes to this sort of thing, so that they’ll apply to everyone. While we recognise that easter is a special religious occasion for many families, we don’t include any religious content in our letters. Again, this is simply so that they can be enjoyed by everyone.
Wherever you are and however you celebrate, we wish you and your family a truly happy Easter this year and if our letters or other printables have been of some use to you, the pleasure’s ours.
All the best,
The People at Rooftop Post xx

We’ve been a bit remiss about writing newsletters recently as we haven’t had much time but we will be getting back to it in 2016. So if you want the latest news about our free printables, do sign up. We’re a small, friendly website and we won’t spam you. Promise. x
For fans of our Father Christmas letters, we’ve just added another free one for you to print and read to your child. It’s a letter for before Christmas, we’ve entitled it “The Knotty North Wind“, and it’s great for anyone wanting to get the kids excited… and hopefully being good!
Father Christmas Letter: The Knotty North Wind
Like all our letters, it tells a story. This time, Father Christmas finds a rather unusual character in trouble on his roof – the North Wind.
The North Wind
The North Wind is a lovely character who crops up in quite a few of our stories and is one of Father Christmas’s very old friends. He’s in a spot of trouble in this letter, having got caught up in a string of tinsel, bit not to worry, as with his usual good cheer and just a touch of magic, Father Christmas finds a way to set him free.
We hope you enjoy this letter, as with all our Christmas letters, they are written by Santa with a little help from Leone Annabella Betts.
There are lots of summer printables for kids scattered throughout this site but here are a few of the favourites. We hope you enjoy them.
1.Fairy Colouring Summer is a great time to do some fairy colouring. Make use of these printable pictures of fairies for your child to colour in. Pictures include:
3.Summer Party Bags Great for summer parties of all kinds and a cool way of getting the kids to “help” you. Just print them out, stick the flaps down and fill with goodies for your party guests.
Thank You for Having Me to Stay During the Summer Holidays
Useful little note for kids to print out and fill in to say thank you for having me to stay during the summer holidays. A favourite for children of the thoughtful kind.
This one is for the end of the summer holidays. In it, Father Christmas thanks your child for being good over the summer and says he hopes he/she will keep it up until Christmas. In our house, a word from Santa brings a smile amid that back to school gloom!
Get the kids to help you prepare for the Fourth of July by letting them make the cupcake wrappers. Lots of pretty, patriotic designs to choose from. Have a great day!
Finally, if you browse our party invitations, you’ll find a few that could come in handy for the summer, such as the barbeque, picnic invitation and summer garden party invitation.
Every so often, we create a quick list of the most popular printables around the Rooftop Post site. Obviously, what people find useful changes from season to season but here’s what our visitors are downloading so far this spring:
These little notes from the Tooth fairy never stop being popular, no matter what the time of year. At the moment, they are among our top five most visited pages.
The 25th of January is just around the corner. Are you getting ready to celebrate one of Scotland’s favourite sons, that wondrous poet and lyricist, Robert Burns?
Then why not hang a few of the bard’s words around your home?
We hope you’ll find our Burns bunting and other printable Burns Night decorations useful – and that you have a great time.
Burns Night Bunting: Wee Beastie
Burns Night Bunting: Red Red Rose
Burns Night Bunting: Poppies and Snow
Burns Supper Decoration: Black and White Bunting
Burns Supper Decoration: Black and White Bunting
Burns Supper Bunting: Robert Burns Portrait
“Address to a Haggis” (Ready to read for Burns Supper)
We’ve had a look at our web stats and we thought seeing as Christmas is just around the corner, you might like to know what the most popular Christmas downloads are this year. Here’s the list, counting down from 10. Merry Christmas from us all!
A bit of a surprise at number 9, as we created these as an afterthought. It’s nice to think that lots of people might be having parties this December though… hope you have fun!
This is a fun little note which reminds the recipient to be good in the run up to Christmas because the elves will be watching. The twist is that the whole thing is written in mirror-writing. Just print it out, get your child to hold it in front of a mirror and Father Christmas’ secret words will become clear.
This one’s a classic. A great letter for any child to open on Christmas morning and read that only a few short hours ago, Father Christmas was right there, dropping off his/her presents. It’s sheer magic. And we expect the downloads of this letter to sky-rocket in the few days before Christmas.
Age Range: Obviously, parents know their own children best when it comes to what they’ll read, but we think this letter is best suited to those aged around 7 and up.
Wow! We had no idea our snowman soup poem would be popular enough to make this list. It just goes to show, running a site like this takes a lot of guess-work and you are always surprising us. Anyway, hope you’re all enjoying snowman soup Santa style.
This is a lovely letter, both magical and comical in tone. We expected it to be fairly popular and we were right. We can’t tell which children parents are printing out for, obviously, but friends and family have told us this one goes down well with boys.
Age Range: Obviously, parents know their own children best when it comes to what they’ll read, but we think this letter is best suited to those aged around 7 and up.
To be honest, this didn’t surprise us. It’s one of our favourite letters from Santa and is a nice, gentle read for any child. The pretty illustrations around the edge of the letter make it look extra magical and if you print it and tie it up with a ribbon it’s more or less a guaranteed smile on your little one’s face.

Well, looks like there are a lot of parents with nice children using the Rooftop Post site!
This lovely certificate is officially our most popular resource in December 2013 so far.
It comes in two versions. One you can write your child’s name on with a pen or an editable PDF you can type on before printing. (You might want to keep in mind that the PDF one may not display correctly if you’re not using Adobe reader.) We’re really pleased people have found this certificate so useful and will look into creating similar certificates in the future.
It’s completely free – all we ask is that you share it via Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn before you download it.
This particular letter is called “Dropping Off Your Presents” and it’s a good all-rounder; that’s to say you can give it to pretty much any child. In it, Father Christmas charts his journey from the North Pole to your house and tells of the magical happenings along the way. It’s a gentle, amusing letter and we hope you’ll find it useful.
If you are looking for a letter that congratulates a child on being well-behaved all year, this is also an excellent choice.
Although we are based in the UK, we know we have many American visitors, so we occasionally add resources for Thanksgiving. Here are they are, in no particular order.
Of course, you can also still get all three letters completely free from this website – the ebook is simply for the convenience of those who like to use it to read to their children from an e-reader, or even a PDF file.
As you would expect, we’ve included lots of colourful illustrations from the letters and dotted them throughout the text. For those of you whose children like such things, there are also three spot the difference games at the back of the book, for an extra bit of fun.
We have no real idea about how popular this ebook is going to be, but if it turns out that parents like it, we’ll make more. As most of you may know, we no longer create personalised letters because over the last couple of years, there simply wasn’t enough demand. However, we do hope you get some use out of this ebook and that it affords your little ones some magical tales.
To all who purchase it – thank you very much! We’ll feed any royalties back into our business and keep bringing you all the magic we can. x
P.S. If you’re helping Father Christmas by printing our free letters for your children this year, you can always watch this short crafting video to help you get the best out them.
As our site is getting quite big these days, we thought we’d kick off October by posting a list of our most popular Halloween printables. (They’re all free.) Hope you have fun browsing through them, and that you find something useful for you and your family to enjoy.
These friendly rhymes with a witchy theme are great fun to decorate your home with on Halloween. They all say lovely things and are a novel way to entertain any Halloween visitors you might have, especially children. Just print, cut out and hang them wherever you feel like it – on doors, fridges, walls etc – and make your guests smile. They also make great little give-aways for Halloween party bags.
Whether you’re having a Halloween party or just filling up little bags of sweets for trick and treaters, these spooky bags are lots of fun. There are all sorts of themes, black cat, candy corn, witch on a broomstick, pumpkin patch and lots more.
Don’t forget to check off those Halloween chores! Perhaps this monster chore chart will encourage the children to give you a hand. We have a number of other colourful chore charts too, including a Witchy Chore Chart, which is popular with girls.
Halloween bunting is a nice, easy way to decorate for Halloween, just print it out, fold, then glue or staple over string. It’s a good one for the kids to do with you – we find that ours like this scardy cat bunting best!
Our paper leaves are ever so popular, at Halloween, Thanksgiving, Harvest festival or any other autumnal occasion. To get the best out of making ours, you can check out this “how to” video. It was made a bit quickly as we were short on time that day, but it gives you the general idea.
Paper leaves are a fabulous way to bring the outside inside on Halloween.
We love this stuff – it makes our skin crawl every time! You can use it for anything you like. We use it for wrapping up small presents and (perhaps oddly!) to cover tissue boxes when we’re trying to Halloweenify the house. After all, it’s the little details which make for a great party.
TIP: To get the biggest (highest resolution) image of this craft paper, make sure you click on the picture itself, rather than using the PDF button.
These letters were created as a lighthearted antidote for any children who think there are monsters living in their house, but even if your kids are too old to worry about such things, we’ve found that many still enjoy them. They’re written by the same author as our Santa letters and are an amusing read for all the family.
Halloween Tooth Fairy Certificate: Well for brushing your teeth over Halloween
This one’s a great way to encourage tooth brushing over Halloween. It’s a nice little reward for any child who has made an effort to look after his/her teeth.
TIP: Use the green Editable PDF button underneath the certificate to download a PDF you can type your child’s name straight onto.
Okay, so you weren’t expecting a Father Christmas resource in this list, but think again. Halloween is a great time to remind the children he’s watching between now and Christmas – and with any luck you’ll get a special effort from them on the good behaviour front.
