Fun printables with a playful spin
Sun Spinner
This colourful Sun Spinner decoration twirls and whirls in the breeze. It’s been designed as a pattern art project, but also works as a straight colour, cut and paste craft.
Age suggestion: 8+
Paper Guinea Pigs
Squeak squeak! Mama guinea pig has some newborn babies to take care of.
These printable guinea pigs were inspired years ago by our family pets. The template has been updated to include a colour-your-own version and, thanks to a reader suggestion, a blank set of piggies so kids can decorate them to look like their pets.
Age suggestion: 6+
Ice Cream Toss Game
Make a classic ball and cup game with a Summer twist. The ice cream is attached to the cone by a long string. To play, toss the pom pom in the air and catch it with the cone. It’s a fun way for kids to practice hand-eye coordination.
Ditch the string toss element, and younger kids can use the pom pom ice cream cones in a dramatic play centre as an ice cream shop set up.
