Fun Ways to Make Learning at Home Easier

Fun Ways to Make Learning at Home Easier

Whether you’re homeschooling full-time or just want some screen-free learning at home, we all know the struggle: kids get bored, fast.

One minute they’re excited, the next they’re climbing the walls (or asking you for a snack every five minutes). Finding something that holds their attention and sneaks in a bit of learning can feel like a miracle.

That’s why I started using learning printables—and honestly? Total game changer. They make education feel like play, which is exactly what kids need. No pressure, no heavy lifting, just simple, engaging activities that sneak in some serious brain-boosting fun.

Here are a few fun printable ideas that always keep my kids entertained:

🔍 Scavenger hunts – These are my absolute favorite for days when we’re stuck inside or need a backyard adventure. Print, hand out, and watch them race to find treasures!

🎲 Matching games and flashcards – Perfect for younger kids who love a challenge. I use them for everything from letters and numbers to shapes and colors. Bonus? They’re great for siblings to play together.

🎨 Coloring pages with fun facts – Who doesn’t love coloring? I pick themes they’re into (dinosaurs, outer space, animals) and sneak in little factoids that make them go “whoa!”

🧩 Maze challenges and puzzles – Perfect for quiet time or as a brain break between school tasks. They’re fun, a little competitive, and way better than endless YouTube videos.

📝 Roll-a-story or creative writing prompts – These are my go-to for older kids. They’re open-ended enough to let their imagination run wild and structured enough to keep them focused.

How I use them:

I usually print a small stack and keep them in a folder labeled “Bored? Grab This!” It’s my secret weapon for days when they’re restless, or when I just need 10 minutes to drink my coffee in peace.

Some days I’ll set up a mini learning station with a few printables, crayons, and stickers. Other days, I’ll just hand them a page to keep them busy while I finish making lunch. It’s flexible, easy, and always there when we need it.

What I love most? They’re secretly educational. My kids think they’re just having fun, but they’re learning new words, practicing focus, and building confidence with every activity.

✨ Want to try it for yourself?
Check out the learning-at-home section at Scribble & Co Designs. It’s filled with ready-to-go printables that make learning fun again—no planning, no stress. Just print, play, and let the magic happen.

Because let’s be real: when the kids are engaged and happy, we all win.

Top Printable Planners to Organize Your Life

April 12, 2025

If your brain feels like a browser with 37 tabs open, you’re definitely not alone. I’ve been there—juggling work deadlines, kid schedules, meal plans, and endless to-dos, all while trying to remember if I even drank my coffee this morning. 🥴

Staying organized doesn’t mean being perfect. It doesn’t mean color-coded everything or a pristine Instagram aesthetic. It just means having a system—a few simple tools to catch the chaos and turn it into something that feels manageable.

For me, that’s where printable planners have been a game changer. They’re easy, they’re instant, and they’re yours—no tech glitches, no fancy apps to learn, just pen and paper to help you focus on what matters.

Here’s what I love about printable planners:

✅ You only print what you need. No giant notebooks or wasted pages—just the daily, weekly, or monthly layouts that actually fit your life.

✅ You can start today. Download, print, and fill them in—no waiting for delivery or endless scrolling through Amazon reviews.

✅ They’re flexible. Some days I need a full schedule breakdown. Others, I just want to jot down three big priorities. Printables let you adapt on the fly.

✅ They’re a visual anchor. When your head is spinning, there’s something grounding about seeing your plans laid out in black and white (or color—whatever makes you smile!).

Some of my favorite go-to planners?

🗓 Daily and weekly planners – Perfect for mapping out tasks, appointments, and reminders in one spot. My weekly overview is my “reset” every Sunday evening.

🍲 Meal planners and grocery lists – Seriously, these save me so much time and stress. No more 5 p.m. “what’s for dinner?” panic!

💰 Budget and finance trackers – Whether it’s keeping track of bills or saving up for something special, these help me feel more in control of my money.

🎯 Goal setting worksheets – Big dreams or small wins, writing them down makes them real and keeps me motivated.

🧼 Cleaning checklists – Because let’s be honest, cleaning is never-ending—and it’s way easier to tackle with a plan.

My pro tip? Don’t overthink it.

When I first started, I grabbed a weekly planner and stuck it to the fridge with a magnet. No fancy setup—just a simple overview of what was ahead. It was a small thing, but it helped me feel so much more in control.

Over time, I found what worked best for me. Some weeks I’m all about the daily planner; other weeks I keep it high-level with a weekly or monthly page. The beauty of printables is you can try them all and see what clicks.

✨ Want to grab a few and see how it feels for you?
Check out the planner section at Scribble & Co Designs. It’s full of practical, no-fuss printables made for real life—no picture-perfect pages or pressure to be “that mom.” Just tools that help you breathe a little easier and make life a bit more manageable.

Because life is busy enough. Your planner should make it simpler—not another thing to stress about.

How to Plan a Picture-Perfect Party with Printables

April 12, 2025

Let’s be honest—party planning can feel like a full-time job. Between sending out invites, making sure there’s enough food, setting the vibe, and coming up with games or activities, it adds up fast. If you’re like me, it can start to feel more like a chore than a celebration. That’s where printables swoop in to save the day!

I first started using party printables out of pure desperation (and a major time crunch). I didn’t have time to craft a Pinterest-perfect setup, but I still wanted the party to feel special. What I found was a game changer. With just a few instant downloads, I had:

🎉 Editable invitations I could personalize and send that same day—no waiting on deliveries or dealing with expensive custom printing.
🎨 Welcome signs and menus that matched the party theme and made it feel way more pulled together.
🪅 Games and activity cards for kids (or grown-ups!) to keep everyone laughing and entertained.
🧁 Decor pieces like cupcake toppers and banners that tied the whole look together—without a single craft store trip.

Here’s what I’ve learned about making the most of party printables:

✅ Print only what you need. No wasted paper or buying a whole pack of things you’ll never use again.

✅ Mix and match. Most printables come with multiple designs—use them across the party to create a theme that’s cohesive but still uniquely yours.

✅ Customize it. Change the colors or text in Canva (or wherever it’s editable) to match your vibe, whether it’s a girly pastel baby shower or a moody Halloween bash.

✅ Print early. Even though printables are instant, give yourself time to cut, trim, or assemble if needed. Trust me—those last-minute snips can take longer than you think!

✅ Use thick paper. For signs, menus, and cupcake toppers, I always go for thicker cardstock—it looks more polished and feels fancier (but still super affordable).

✅ Reuse and repurpose. Save the file! You can tweak it for another party later, or print extras for photo backdrops or scrapbooks.

What I love most about printables? They’re flexible. Print what you need, when you need it, and skip the stress. No last-minute store runs. No panic crafting. And everything looks way more put together than it actually felt behind the scenes.

5 Easy Printable Ideas to Start Selling Today

April 12, 2025

Want to Start Selling Printables? Start Simple—Here’s How

If you’ve been watching creators talk about passive income from printables, it probably sounds dreamy: make a cute template once, and sales roll in while you sleep. But if you’re anything like I was, you’re wondering: where the heck do I even begin?

Here’s the truth no one tells you: you don’t need to create the next viral product. You just need to start—small, simple, and real.

When I first discovered Canva and the world of digital products, I was overwhelmed. I wasn’t a graphic designer. I didn’t feel “creative” in that Pinterest-perfect way. And the idea of pouring hours into something that might not sell? Terrifying.

But I also knew I wanted more freedom—more flexibility, more income on my terms. So instead of chasing trends or comparing myself to Etsy superstars, I made a promise to myself: just start with something useful.

No glitter, no gimmicks. Just a few clean, helpful templates that solved everyday problems—because that’s what people are actually looking for.

Here are 5 beginner-friendly printable ideas that are always in demand:

🗓 Daily or Weekly Planners – Everyone’s trying to get their life together, especially around New Year, back-to-school, or “I need a fresh start” moments.

🍲 Meal Planners & Grocery Lists – These are gold for busy parents, students, and anyone who’s tired of the 5 p.m. dinner panic.

🎨 Kids Activity Sheets – Think coloring pages, scavenger hunts, I Spy games, or simple learning printables. Perfect for parents, teachers, or even party packs.

✅ Checklists – Morning routines, travel packing, self-care, decluttering. These may seem basic, but they make people’s lives easier—and that’s what sells.

🎉 Party Invitations – Birthdays, baby showers, holidays… Everyone needs them, and they’re surprisingly easy to design with a Canva template and a pop of personality.

My advice? Start with one.

Pick a category you use in your own life. Open a free Canva template, customize it with your own flair, and hit download. It doesn’t have to be perfect. It just needs to solve a problem and be easy to use.

You don’t need fancy fonts or perfect branding to begin—you need a clear layout and the courage to put it out there.

Uploading your printable to Etsy or Stan Store feels amazing—but heads up: that’s not the end of the story. Sales don’t magically appear.
You’ll need a few key things to set yourself up for success:

🔍 Keywords (SEO) – So people can find your product in search
🖼 Mockups – So they can see how great it’ll look in their life
📌 Pinterest – So you can share your product in a place that keeps working long after you post

The first listing might take you longer than you expect. That’s normal.
But the second one will be faster. And the third? Easier. Before long, you’ll have a mini digital shop working in the background while you live your life.

When I launched Scribble & Co Designs, I had no idea it would grow the way it has. I started with one simple printable—a basic weekly planner I designed for myself—and uploaded it with shaky hands and zero confidence.

But guess what? That one product sold. And I realized: I didn’t need to be “extra,” I just needed to be helpful.

Transform Your Mom Life with Essential Printables

Mom Brain? Meet Your New Best Friend: Printables That Actually Help

Mom life is a lot. You’re juggling a hundred things before breakfast—packing lunches, finding missing socks, replying to work texts, and negotiating peace over cereal. And don’t even get me started on school holidays. The days blur, the to-do list grows, and sometimes it feels like you’re holding the whole house together with willpower and dry shampoo.

Staying organized isn’t just helpful—it’s survival. But let’s be honest: apps aren’t always practical when your hands are full and your brain is fried. That’s where printables step in. Tangible, visible, and made to work with your chaos, not against it.

When I first started using printables, I wasn’t trying to be some perfectly curated Pinterest mom. I was tired. I needed something—anything—to make life feel less like a never-ending scramble. I printed out a few sheets, stuck them on the fridge, and suddenly there was this tiny sense of control again. Not perfection—but peace.

Here are 5 printables I swear by. They won’t change your life overnight, but they’ll lighten the load just enough to take a breath:

🗓 Weekly Planner – Stop waking up and wondering, “What day is it?” One glance and you’re back in charge.

🥘 Meal Planner & Grocery List – Take the stress out of “what’s for dinner?” and bring calm back to your evenings.

🧒 Kids Routine Chart – Less nagging, more structure. (And those rare mornings where they get dressed without asking? Pure magic.)

🧼 Cleaning Checklist – Ever get a minute to clean and completely blank on where to start? This keeps you focused.

📅 Family Calendar – Everyone’s plans in one place—no more mental gymnastics trying to remember who’s where when.

✨ Real talk? I still have days where it all goes sideways. But the point isn’t to be perfectly organized—it’s to give yourself tools that support you in the chaos.

➡️ If you’re ready to stop spinning and start breathing again, check out the printables I use from Scribble & Co Designs. They’re simple, practical, and made for real moms living real lives.

Because being busy is one thing. But being buried? No thanks.
Let’s trade burnout for balance—one printable at a time.

Stay Organized with These Printable Must-Haves

April 12, 2025
Let’s be honest: staying organized sounds amazing—but life gets messy, fast. Between work, home, errands, and everything else, it’s easy to feel like you’re just winging it every day. That’s where printables come in—and they’ve genuinely helped me feel more in control.

And no, I’m not talking about perfectly color-coded planners or 15-tab spreadsheets. I mean simple, printable tools you can actually use. The kind that give you clarity, not overwhelm.

Here are a few printable must-haves that got me started:
- A weekly planner so I can see what’s coming up (and not panic Monday morning)
- A to-do list that helps me focus instead of spiral
- A meal planner that saves me from the daily “what’s for dinner” drama
- A budget sheet that keeps me aware—not stressed
- And a cleaning checklist I can follow without overthinking
I printed a few, popped them in a binder, and that was it. Not fancy. Just functional. And honestly, some days I still forget to use them. That’s okay too. It’s about progress, not perfection.

The key is finding printables that suit your life. Not what looks good on Instagram. If you need a place to start, check out what’s working for me at Scribble & Co Designs. They’re practical, easy to print, and made for real life—not just Pinterest boards.

How I Turned Canva Into My Creative Launchpad

April 12, 2025

Starting with Canva: What I Learned as a Complete Beginner

When I first opened Canva, I didn’t have a business plan—I just wanted to create. One day I’d edit a planner, the next I’d be playing with an invitation design. I made it my mission to learn something new each time—whether it was using grids properly or aligning text like a pro.

The game-changer? I picked one product type and stuck with it.
For me, that was planners—because I use them every day. Focusing on a single format helped me master Canva’s tools, learn spacing and balance, and really understand what buyers are looking for. It sharpened my style and sped up my process.

Was it all smooth sailing? Nope. There’s definitely a learning curve—but you don’t have to do it alone. I relied on free resources like Canva’s Design School and tutorials on YouTube. Creators like The Creative Bodega and Design with Canva were my go-to teachers. Their walkthroughs seriously leveled up my skills.

But here’s the truth: Canva is just one piece of the puzzle. If you want to turn your creativity into a business, you also need:

✅ A platform to sell on (like Etsy or Stan Store)
✅ Basic SEO know-how
✅ A social media strategy
✅ And most of all—products that solve real problems, not just ones you love making

This isn’t a “five-minute TikTok hack.” It takes time, testing, and patience. But if you start small, stay curious, and keep showing up, Canva can absolutely be your launchpad into a profitable creative business.
