Activity Village Blog - What's New?

Our new Chinese New Year lacing cards feature simple illustrations of all the 12 animals of the Chinese Zodiac (in fact, we've made 13 so that you can choose from a sheep or a goat).

A traditional Burns Night Supper may be an adult affair, with lots of raucous whisky drinking and dancing, but that doesn't mean that you can't enjoy it with the family too!

These lovely bright and cheerful printables are perfect for practising your winter vocabulary, and can be used in so many ways in the classroom or home.

Sometimes it is nice to have a bit of colour and excitement even for simple activities like learning early scissor skills - and these new cutting skills printables should do the trick!

I've just added some new printable lacing cards to our Spring Lacing Cards page, including a rather cute lamb and a pretty blue bird who seemed to me to be very spring-like! These will stretch to a range of ages.

There are so many fun ways to use these new Spring writing frames - not least to encourage a little bit of writing from your children!

We are! I've just added lots of fun new 2016 and New Year activities to the website - all ready for you to explore in plenty of time to print off for your New Year's Eve celebrations and the beginning of the January term...

I know some of you start planning for next year much earlier than December, so I'm sorry it has taken until now to get them up on the website. But here they are - our printable planner pages for 2016.

If you enjoyed our new ordinal number jigsaws yesterday, you might like to check out these new number jigsaws that I've just added - designed to help children learning numbers 1 to 10. The owl picture is one of my favourites!
