The time has come for the little one to go to primary school.

In addition to academic preparations, it’s a good idea to impress upon your child the joy of learning and the excitement of going to primary school.

This is the motivation behind the creation of Guide To Primary One Activity Sheets.

Through creative activities, Guide To Primary One Activity Sheets helps children learn important skills, such as packing their school bags, buying food at the canteen, and getting to school on time, in fun and challenging ways.

There is a maze to conquer, a creative game set at the school canteen, a secret message from the teacher to decode, and more. Ten fun activities in all!

Guide To Primary One Activity Sheets is a collaboration between Little Day Out co-founder Lester Ng and Little Day Out Shop contributor Wong Wai Ling, and is available at Little Day Out Shop for $4 excluding shipping.

For more tips on adapting to Primary One, check out the Timmy & Tammy Guide To Primary One by Ruth Wan-Lau, also available from Little Day Out Shop.

Guide To Primary One Activity Sheets and Timmy & Tammy Guide To Primary One are also available as a set at 5% off their combined prices. Click here to get the set.

Here’s wishing the little one a good start to primary school education!

The party is tomorrow noon. You’ve been busy all week making arrangements. Birthday cake. Check. Catered lunch. Check. Party favours. Check. Decorations…. Oh dear! You’ve forgotten about them! But it’s already late at night. How are you going to get the decorations in time?

Here come printables to the rescue. But wait, what exactly are printables?

A printable is a ready-to-print PDF file that can be downloaded and printed instantly – at home or with a professional printer. Created in high-resolution, it is formatted to print on an A4 size sheet of paper.

PRINTABLES ARE INSTANT
Because printables are digital files, all you need to do is to download and immediately print them out for your use. There’s no need to wait for your shipment to arrive, or for the store to open. Problem solved!

How about a colourful wall bunting to make your party pop?

Melting Ice Cream Wall Bunting, available at Little Day Out Shop for $2.50

Or some photo booth props to create fun memories?

Jay & Elle Photo Booth Props, available at Little Day Out Shop for $4.99

You can even get a full set of themed party essentials, from invitation cards to buntings, cake toppers, and plate and cup decorations.

Blobbers Party Pack, available at Little Day Out Shop for $7.99.

PRINTABLES ARE COST-EFFECTIVE
The kids at the party may need some activities to keep them happily occupied. With printables, you can buy just one activity sheet, and print out as many copies as you need. There’s no shipping charge involved, and they’re generally priced lower as sellers don’t incur printing or warehousing costs.

Birds of the Rainforest Stick Puppet Craft, available at Little Day Out Shop for $2.99.

Iconic Singapore Colouring Book, available at Little Day Out Shop for $3.99.

PRINTABLES ARE RE-USABLE
Children like to do the same things over and over again. With the PDF file in your possession, you can easily print out another copy, whenever they feel like colouring, crafting, or solving puzzles again!

Three cheers for printables! Hip, hip, hurray!
