Free Printable: Colouring In Easter Card

March 27, 2019

Let’s see now… it’s been 2 years since I last blogged. Yikes! Here’s what happened in those 2 years:

• I’ve had a second baby! Her name is Thea. We call her Thea Bea. She’s a scorpio.

• I’ve designed, drawn, redesigned, rebranded, and added a heap of new stickers and stationery products to my Etsy store. This is the real reason for my long hiatus from this website. But now that baby business is out of the way, I intend on being a bit more active here.

• Mockeri had her (a call Mockeri a ‘she’) own stall at the Sydney Planner Markets in January of this year. It was such a new experience. I was so nervous. But everything went so well.

• My eldest is 3, turning 4 in July. She loves colouring, swimming and hanging out with her friends.

• We’ve renovated our kitchen and added a deck to our backyard. Now, we are poor. But we have a nice kitchen/deck. I might blog about it. Not about the being poor part.

• Rossy (our German Shephard) is doing well and probably wants to go on more walks than he gets to. But he loves the girls and they love him. Thea calls him ‘Ro Ro’.

• I’ve always intended to get back into blogging and creating more free printables and other content. Although I haven’t updated the website in a couple of years, I’ve kept an eye on it and I see all your lovely comments as well as all the new subscribers. Thanks for sticking round.

Now that you’re all caught up, I’m starting off my (hopefully monthly) free printables with a colouring in Easter Card.

Get the little ones to colour it in and send it to their Nana and Pa! To download click below.

FREE Mini Paper Games

November 8, 2014

I apologise for the lack of posts lately folks, but I’ve been busying myself with designing planner printables for my new Etsy store. Not only that, but I’ve also been gardening. Yes, gardening. I am bad at gardening. My thumb is more red than green. My knowledge of gardening consists of: plant goes into dirt, water goes on plant. So I’ve started with aloe veras. I’ve been told they’re very easy and don’t require much maintenance at all. That being said, I’ve had succulents and cacti die on me before!

I’ve created 5 super fun paper mini games you can print and cut out to play if you’re traveling, or even if you’re simply bored at home. The games on this printable are: Categories, Boxes, Battleship, Tic-Tac-Toe, and Paper Golf.

If you need a refresher on the rules, here they are:

Paper Golf // Each person starts on the golf ball. With their eyes closed they must draw a line to where they think the hole is. Keep taking turns until the first person reaches the hole.

Tic-Tac-Toe // One person is the ‘O’. The other person is the ‘X’. Taking turns, you draw your ‘O’ or ‘X’ in the spaces in the grid. The first person to make 3 respective ‘Os’ or ‘Xs’ in a horizontal, vertical or diagonal row wins.

Categories // Pick any letter in the alphabet. Each person runs through the list trying to name something in each category starting with that letter. This can run on a timer or simply stop when the first person has finished. You get 1 point for each original answer. Most points wins.

Battleship // Each player must arrange the ships in places on the grid. Once your ships are arranged, each player takes turns trying to ‘shoot’ the other person’s ships down. Call out the squares using the letters and numbers (e.g. A1, B6 etc). Once all the squares for that ship has been called out, that ship has sunk. First person to sink all of their opponent’s ships wins.

Boxes // Each person takes turns drawing a line from one dot to another vertically or horizontally. The goal is to make as many squares/boxes as you can. When you make a box, you get a free turn.

I hope you enjoy playing with these mini paper games!

This is the vegetable version of my Flash Cards. I did a fruit version about a week ago (to check those out click here).

There are 12 cards in this set: Carrot, Broccoli, Avocado, Corn, Mushroom, Eggplant, Lettuce, Tomato, Pickle, Potato, Peas and Pumpkin.

Alternative Cards

Like the fruit cards, I did the another version with the vegetable cards of matching cards. Match the picture with the name.

Print out both Vegetable and Fruit Card sets for a combined food learning game!

While I don’t ask any payment or donation for myself by releasing any of my Free Printables on my website, I would like to ask for a small donation to my beloved German Shepherd Rossy, who has just gone for emergency surgery for Gastric Dilatation Volvulus (GDV) or the same condition Marley had in the movie Marley & Me. If you would like to donate something go to his Go Fund Me page. Thank you so much.

1. Printer
2. Paper or card stock
3. Scissors
4. OPTIONAL: Rounded corner cutter. If you don’t have one just be careful cutting around the corners.

I really enjoyed doing these flash cards and will definitely do more activity/learning printables in the future. If you have any suggestions, please comment below!
