If, like so many of us, you find yourself staying at home with your kids for the next little while, you may be looking for fun and simple activities to help pass the time. Over the next few weeks, we’ll continue to share round-ups of some of our favorite crafts, activities, and projects from the past ten years of Handmade Charlotte’s archives. Today we wanted to start things off with a whole bunch of ready to use free printable projects!
Printable Dominos
These adorable dominos are black and white just like the originals but you get to match playful images instead of dots!
Funny Face Shape Printables
Little ones who are just learning their shapes will love these three-part cards often found at Montessori schools. Turn learning into a fun matching game!

These colorful paper tiles are a great way to encourage kids to practise their spelling while also creating a fun craft! Garlands, cake toppers, necklaces … the possibilities are endless.
