A Message From Lindsay

Firstly I would like to say a big welcome to all our new members, and apologise that there has been such a wait between newsletters! All being well we will be back on a weekly schedule from now on, and we will be archiving newsletters on the website in the future so that you can find that particular craft, puzzle or website that you enjoyed easily again!

Has summer arrived in the UK at last? Kids will be breaking up for the long summer holidays in a fortnight or so, and once again the schools are winding down. We will be bringing you lots of good ideas over the next few weeks to help you keep your kids entertained over the holidays, both from Activity Village and other sites. You will find links to some recommended sites in the box on the right side of this page.

Can I just remind everyone to check the blog often by clicking the "What's New" link on the menu above? We are making a big effort to keep it updated with the latest additions to the site, as and when we make them, and also to bring you website recommendations, videos and reviews from elsewhere. Those of you with a feed aggregator can subscribe to the RSS feed and be updated quickly and easily.

What's New At Activity Village?

Canada Day
We've added new coloring pages, Happy Canada Day cards, puzzles and some really super crafts to the Canada Day pages this week. Canadian visitors - and anybody else interested in learning a little about Canada - please take a look!

Patriotic Crafts and Printables
Perfect for Canada Day, July Fourth, the Summer Olympics - or just when the urge strikes you to be patriotic! We have pulled together our existing patriotic crafts and are adding new ones all the time, including these very cute T-shirts modelled by Jack and Sam, Sarah's boys.

It's almost the end of the school year and you may, like many other parents, be desperately trying to think of a present for your child's teacher which will show your appreciation - and be appreciated! We have lots of ideas for you on our Teacher Appreciation pages, as well as some fun new thank you cards to print.

A Giggle!

Children are natural mimics: they act like their parents in spite of every attempt to teach them good manners.

"Always smile back at little children. To ignore them is to destroy their belief that the world is good."
