Free Printable: Easter Egg Hunt

When I was a child, we never had Easter Egg Hunts. Instead, my Mum would cut out different coloured teddy bears, and my sisters and I would each have to seek out the bears of the colour we were given. Once we'd found all the bears of our chosen colour, we would get a prize.

Taking inspiration from this, I've created this alternative Easter Egg Hunt printable!
Rather than hunting for eggs, each participant can hunt for a specific-coloured chick, and then cash them in for their chocolate egg once they've found them all!

This is great if you only gift your kids one egg each at Easter, but want to give them the fun experience of an Easter egg hunt.
It also solves the problem of one child ending up with more eggs than the other!

I've included two versions of the same printable in this post: one coloured, one black and white.
The black and white version is here in case you'd rather print straight onto coloured card, or want to expand on the Easter activities with a colouring-in session before the hunt begins!

Halloween Printables

A4 Size|Letter Size

Halloween is creeping ever closer, and since I felt like playing around in Photoshop, I made these printables!

First off is the bog-standard BOO!

A4 Size|Letter Size

And Halloween wouldn't be complete with a famous quote, so here's one from Dracula. 

A4 Size|Letter Size

Finally, because I was feeling silly, a 'Halloween Menu' of grotesque grub.

The rose brush used is one of my own; I tried to make the spider webs as a brush too but Photoshop wasn't having any of it, so it's a separate layer!

Printable: Love Heart

Printables are always a fun thing to sit down and make; since V-day is approaching I thought I'd try to come up with more than just the Valentine's Day coupons printable that I posted the other day.

Inspired by a painting I did many years ago, I created this 'Love Heart' printable in several colourways.

Printable: Christmas Peace & Joy

Yet again I've been fooling around with graphics! (If you missed the Christmas carol printables, check them out here.)

Today I bring you tidings of Peace and Joy. Alright, so they're printables rather than tidings, but they're free :)

Both of these should print up at 8x10. Click on the pictures below to be redirected to a GoogleDocs page where you can either print or download the image.

   

Hope you enjoy these printables. I thought I'd try a colourway different to the usual Christmas colour scheme!
To make the polka dot pattern in Photoshop, I used this fantastic tutorial that I found on Digital-Retouching.net: 'Creating and Defining Seamless Polka Dot Pattern'. It explains how to make polka dot patterns with one, two or three colours. Very useful!

Printable: Christmas Carol Quotes

For ages I have been meaning to check out a vector drawing program. Having had a little google, I found out about Inkscape, which I installed today.
As I was having a little play with it, I made a couple of Christmas carol printables!
...okay, so I might have used Photoshop Elements a little, too (and then imported into Inkscape to make the final thing)

Here are two different free printables (quotes from Silent Night and God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen). I made two variations of each one.

Printable: Easter Egg Hunt Signs

As a child, I loved going on Easter Egg Hunts!
My mother would hide little foil-wrapped eggs around the garden (or if it was raining, around the house) and give clues to my sisters and I as to how close we were to finding one!

I'm far from organising or participating in any egg hunts this year (sob) but here's a printable for anyone planning to organise an easter egg hunt of their own!

 

As with my Mother's Day Voucher printable, these should print off on standard A4 paper/card.

Simply print, cut out, and tape to sticks or hang up with string!
