Activity Time: Summer!

August 21, 2018

There's still two whole weeks of summer holidays to enjoy, so today we’re sharing some easy-to-download-and-share summer- and outdoors-themed activities and coloring sheets.

These are in addition to our new activity-led blog features – see our spring coloring sheets here that are sure to keep your creative kids entertained and inspired for a little while at least, between the ice creams!

Art Play

Discover Kirigami!

Create your own paper dolls, parade of dogs, chain of hearts – or be inspired and try your own ideas (think daisy chains, or even ice creams!) that are ready to colour in, bedazzled with stickers, or anything else that you can think of. Design, embellish and decorate your room!

*NB you might need an adult to help with a little work cutting out (please be careful when using scissors)
