If you’ve got a little bookworm at home (or you are the bookworm), these cute printable bookmarks make reading feel just a bit more magical. They’re a tiny treat that says, “Hey, taking time to get lost in a story matters.” Print them on cardstock for extra durability — and with four free designs on one page, you can keep a favorite and share the rest with someone who could use a little encouragement to turn one more page. ✨📚
(With age ratings + what parents might want to know)
One of my favorite ways to make Christmas feel extra magical—without spending a ton—is a cozy family movie night. Pop some popcorn, grab the fuzzy blankets, and print out these FREE Christmas movie tickets to hand out like you’re running the world’s cutest home theater. Kids instantly get excited when something ordinary feels official, and suddenly you’ve created a whole memory out of just… sitting on the couch together. It’s simple, it’s sweet, and it’s exactly the kind of holiday magic we’ll actually remember. 🎬✨

Kick off summer with a magical, nature-inspired craft your kids will love! This woodland fairy puppet is easy, creative, and perfect for outdoor-loving little ones. Inspired by my own fairy garden, this activity uses leaves, petals, and twigs—plus a printable I designed myself featuring both a boy and girl woodland fairy.
Find it in My Etsy Shop.
Click below to get the printable, which includes both a boy and girl fairy design.
Print on regular paper or light cardstock.
Choose your fairy (or do both!) and carefully cut them out.
Glue the fairy cut-out onto thin cardboard to make it sturdy. Let it dry for a few minutes.
Once dry, cut around the fairy again—this time cutting through the cardboard.
Tip: Let little ones do the paper cutting, then help with the cardboard if needed.
Use leaves for wings, petals for clothes or hair, twigs for wands—get creative! Markers or crayons can be used to color your fairy before adding nature elements.
Glue a stick to the back so your fairy becomes a puppet or wand.
Once everything is glued and decorated, let it dry completely before play.
Now your woodland fairy puppet is ready for garden adventures, storytelling, or imaginative puppet shows. You can even create a fairy family or add them to your fairy garden décor!
This is a wonderful way to bring art, nature, and storytelling together—and it’s just as fun for parents as it is for kids.
If you loved this idea, pin it for later or share it with someone who loves fairies and fun outdoor crafts!
