Scrapbook Papers: Plum Perfect

Perfect for digital "Missing You" cards or "Get Well" cards during this Corona Virus outbreak this is just one example of the whole host of resources on this site.  This page links to a zip file of 3 backgrounds with a vintage feel in plum and lime green.  These are for personal use only.  Click here to go to the Granny Enchanted blog and download.

Click on the buttons at the top of the page for other free papers, buttons kits, alphabets etc etc etc.  Enough to last for months luckily.  Most of the papers are 12 x 12, not having a 12 x 12 printer I have used these mainly for digital scrapbooking.

How to Train Your Dragon Day


Stuck at home due to the Corona Virus and don't know what to do - we pulled out the DVD's and tuned into Netflix for the Race to the Edge series for the full How To Train Your Dragon franchise.  
Here are some other links for activities that you can also use.
Colouring pages - there are lots of these out there
to name just a few

Looking for homeschool ideas across the curriculum - teaching ideas.co.uk has lots of ideas to use with the How To Train Your Dragon book but could be adapted to the series.  Page includes blank Top Trumps cards to make your own pack.

This ESL (English as a second language) site also has lots of worksheets

The School of Dragons website has colouring pages, science activities and worksheets as well as printables, along with the online game which you can also play.  

Game Mom has a page of dragon themed activities including crafts, worksheets, lacing templates and mazes and many more the biggest round up I have found so far.

Finally for a bit more fun How to make a dragon manual from Bug, Boo and Bean  #.

Stay safe!




Paper Airplanes

Looking for something simple to do with the kids indoors or out?  How about the old school paper airplane?


This article by Wiki-how includes three simple designs that you can fold and decorate yourself, shown as animation to make it easier to follow.

One up from the ones that you fold are 3D models that you cut out and stick together like these 13 designs from Canon Creative Park.

Maths Board Game Collection

So all the schools in the UK are now closed for the duration due to Corona Virus and parents everywhere are having to homeschool with the help of extra work from the teachers.  Intimidating!
Here is a board game collection from Maths Sphere for practising those maths skills whilst at home.  There are about 20 of them to print with instructions all you need to do is add counters and dice.  Laminate or put in a poly pocket to make a longer lasting resource.

The maths sphere website also has a free dictionary to help with homework for those of us who went to school quite a few years ago...

Stay well.

Roll-A-*** games collection - or what to do when you are self isolating with kids due to Corona Virus....

In light of having to be self-isolating with kids due to corona virus I am digging out the blog again and pulling together all the posts for these simple games.  All you need is a dice, a rules sheet to show which body part you get for the value rolled on the dice, and a pencil and paper for each player (or you can use whiteboards/chalkboards/ sand trays, anything you use to draw).  First person to complete their drawing is the winner.


Here are the links to the posts for these games :
