Kids Activity Certificates

Now that spring is on the way (at least in here in the northern hemisphere), maybe it’s time to get active. Or perhaps you’ve been struck by a sudden need to clear away the cobwebs and spring clean the house. Either way, if you’re hoping to enthuse the kids, you could try rewarding them with one of these fun certificates. If schoolwork is more your child’s thing, there are a couple of certificates for that too. Everyone likes to see their efforts recognised, just print them out and stick the to the wall or fridge.

10 Useful Thank You Notes for Summer

BEST FROM THE WEB:

For anyone looking for more lovely summery resources, here are a few of our favourites from around the internet:

Printable Masks – This site has a great collection of masks to keep the kids entertained this summer, or indeed at any other time of year.

Hidden Pictures – This selection of charming pictures with things hidden all over them is great for keeping children busy over the summer.  Like hide-and-seek on the page!  They can also be coloured in for extra fun.

Platinum Jubilee Decorations

The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee is coming up and celebrations are taking place throughout the UK between 2nd to 5th June 2022.  It commemorates her being on the throne for seventy years, which is the longest of any British monarch, and no doubt there’ll  be street parties aplenty.

If you’re looking for printable decorations to make, we’ve collected some below.  Don’t forget you can also make use of printables from the government’s official toolkit.  We hope you have a lovely time.

Oh, and here are some Jubilee party invitations:

If you’re having a street party and want it to look extra pretty, you might like to make some of these cute paper baskets and fill them with treats such as sweets, raisins and peanuts or popcorn.

Oh and don’t forget our free Platinum Jubilee Poster:

Jubilee Paper Chains

Paper chains can be an especially good way to get the children involved in the Jubilee celebrations.  Just print, cut out and glue the ends together.

Easter Cards and Rhymes

If you’ve ever felt that you want to add a bit of verse to your Easter card to let that special someone know how much you care, then this post might help.  We often get asked for Easter poems for cards, so we’ve created a handful below.

Oh, and if you scroll down you’ll see some printable cards as well, interspersed between the rhymes.  We thought they’d be handy for anyone who hasn’t had time to get to the shops and needs something to write in.

Easter Card Rhymes:
Easter Blessings

Gone the winter’s cold and gloom,
Here’s the sun to fill your room,
Here come flowers, here comes spring,
Here come birds that chirp and sing,
Here’s a card to bring good cheer
And Easter blessings to your year!

Just for You

This Easter card is just for you,
To let you know that all you do
For strangers, friends and family,
Is recognised and loved by me.

Be Blessed

This time of year
I think of you
And hope for joy
In all you do,
For you deserve
The very best,
Happy Easter, dear,
Be blessed.

For a Friend

Dearest friend the spring is here,
And Easter Day is drawing near,
Glad the winter months are through,
The sunshine makes me think of you,
For though this Easter we’re apart,
You’re always with me, in my heart.

Here’s to You

Spring is here,
Easter’s near,
Lots of love
To you my dear.

Winter’s through,
Here’s to you
And your loved ones,
Old and new!

Time for Joy

Chocolates, flowers,
Egg-shaped things,
Oh what fun each
Easter brings!
Chicks and rabbits,
Cute and small,
How we laugh and
Love them all.
Church bells, singing,
Simnel cake,
Happy feelings
When you wake!
Time to lay
Aside your cares,
Time for joy
And peace and prayers.

A Magical Time

It’s that magical
Eastery time,
So I thought I would
Send you a rhyme,
To wish you a
Wonderful day,
Full of dreams that
Will take you away
To a daffodil house,
Or a chocolate sea,
Or a chicken who lives
In an Easter egg tree,
For the very best way
To be clever and smart,
Is to always stay young
In your head and your heart.

Best of Our Summer Colouring

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 do 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.

We’ve put all our summer colouring faves together below, so they’re easy for you to scroll through.  We hope you enjoy them. x
