NEW! Royal baby, flowers, weather, kites, daffodils and more..

We've been so busy adding new content this week that I hardly know where to start! We've continued building our new Weather topic, and created a new mini-topic for Kites in the process. We've also added to our Flowers topic with some fab new handwriting and maths worksheets.

 

The big news of the week was of course the arrival of a new Royal Baby for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge! Although we don't yet know his name, we've made a start on some fun new Royal Baby printables. And rather than just do one "Famous Person" this week, we've created new pages and activities for his older siblings, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, and updated his mother too, as our Kate was still in her wedding dress!

 

Our Guest Post of the week is from Rita, who has been busy with some daffodil activities, and our Colouring Quotes this week are about "Home". 

 

We now have over 28,320 printable activities available to our Activity Village Members - and we are adding more nearly every day (1917 this year already)!

We have begun our weather puzzle collection with these weather themed grid copy puzzles

We've added a brand new collection of weather jigsaws - including spelling and number jigsaws too.

Kids can work on their fine motor skills with the help of these fun new weather lacing cards!

We've added these lovely new flower handwriting worksheets​​​​​​​

New flower scissor activities for cutting practice and crafts

 

We've added new flower maths worksheets and maths activities aimed at your younger children and working on counting, ordering, patterns and times tables.​​​​​​​

This week's colouring quotes have "Home" as the theme - and there's an extra, simpler page and card this week too.

Welcoming a new Royal Baby! We'll be adding more as soon as we know his name!

We've updated and added some lovely new printables of the Cambridge family!

We've created a new mini topic for Kites

Rita and her family have been having fun with some of our daffodil activities...

If you want happiness for an hour, take a nap.
If you want happiness for a day, go fishing.
If you want happiness for a year, inherit a fortune.
If you want happiness for a lifetime, help somebody.
A Chinese proverb

(Actually, I'm not sure that this really is a Chinese proverb - but I like it anyway!)

 

"Most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be."
Abraham Lincoln
