It’s always handy to have a few activity sheets up one’s metaphorical sleeve when it comes to the summer holidays and so once again I’ve sought out some great free resources created by children’s authors and illustrators for us all to enjoy.

Debi Gliori has created an entire fun pack you can download
. It includes a wordsearch, a mask to make, colouring in and more.
On Neal Layton’s site you can find Emily B activity sheets and an Oscar and Arabella colouring Sheet
Illustrator Claire Sells has two colouring-in sheets (a fairy, and some dinosaurs) for a quick and easy 5-minute activity.
If you loved Maudie Smith’s Opal Moonbaby, you won’t want to miss out on her Mingle Maker
Clara Vulliamy has enough crafty goodness on her website to keep you out of mischief the whole summer. Although of it was created for an advent calendar, not all of it is wintery themed (and those bits which are may be just right for friends in the Southern Hemisphere right now). I particularly like the Bunny Rocket and the bear thaumatrope.

Thanks for these! We’re home from our American travels and the novelty of old toys seeming new is going to wear off very soon. I should get some activity sheets ready in advance.

Welcome back Mrs Brown! This is the first of 3 round ups of activities sheets I have planned for the summer hols, so hopefully there will be something for everyone. I’ve found my kids have enjoyed the sheets even if they don’t know the illustrator.
