Sarah's just suggested that we might do something for National Libraries Day in the UK, which will be held on Satruday 6th February this year. So here's our new National Libraries Day page!

I've just added another lovely story to our collection of traditional stories from China - something new for Chinese New Year, perhaps? This one, The Goddess Who Cast The Bell, is a story told about the great Bell Tower in Beijing.

Our new Chinese New Year lacing cards feature simple illustrations of all the 12 animals of the Chinese Zodiac (in fact, we've made 13 so that you can choose from a sheep or a goat).

Sometimes it is nice to have a bit of colour and excitement even for simple activities like learning early scissor skills - and these new cutting skills printables should do the trick!

I've just added some new printable lacing cards to our Spring Lacing Cards page, including a rather cute lamb and a pretty blue bird who seemed to me to be very spring-like! These will stretch to a range of ages.
