This has been an absolute winner with my 5 year old daughter and a lovely way to spend quality time together when it gets dark so early.

Instructions!

For personal use only.

These Christmas snaps are perfect for entertaining little ones after school and spending a little quality fun time together. These are tried and tested on my 5 year old and make for a really nice activity that can get quite competitive. Instructions on how to make the pack of cards and play the games are listed below.

This downloadable game and colouring activity is just a download, so no physical item will be sent to you.

It is not for commercial use and the copyright remains with Somerset illustrator Emily Charlotte Moran after download,

How to create your pack of cards.
Download the pdfs, print the 4 pages of illustrations 4 times and cut out each card, this will give you 13 matching sets of 4 (52 cards in total). Use a nice thick card.

How to play Christmas Snap.

Shuffle the cards and deal them out to all the players.
Each player puts their cards face down in front of them.
Taking it in turns, each player puts down a card from the top of their pile to make a new pile in the middle.
If the card placed immediately before it matches, the first person to call “Snap” wins all the cards in the middle.
When a player uses all their cards, they are out of the game.
The winner is the last player left in the game with all the cards.

How to play Christmas Match the Pairs.

Shuffle the cards and place all of them face down over a large clear surface.
Take it in turns to select 2 of the cards, turn them over and see if they match.
If the cards don’t match put them back down in the same place (try to remember where!) and the next person takes their go.
If they do match put the cards in a pile in front of you and have another go.
The winner is the person that matches the most number of pairs.

NEW DESIGN: Clevedon Christmas Lights 2023 Poster

2/11/2023

The Clevedon Christmas Lights Switch-On 2023 hasn't taken place yet and there weren't many suitable photographs from a similar previous event. So, when I was commissioned to come up with a promotional poster for the start of the North Somerset town's Christmas festivities, I used my creative skills and imagination to bring the brief to life.

As I'm a combined graphic designer-illustrator, I illustrated how the event could appear and then professionally laid it out. See the photos of the finished design below.

I also sell various Clevedon designs as calendars, cards, prints, posters, jigsaw puzzles, tea towels and more on my Etsy shop here.

Poster design for Clevedon Christmas Lights 2023, created by Emily Charlotte Moran.

Just3Harmony, The Travelling Oakies and Father Christmas will all appear at Clevedon's Christmas Lights switch on in 2023.
