Play tickets free printable



Here is another free printable. This one is for the kiddies. I have occasionally hand drawn little tickets for my kids and they get so much fun out of something so simple. Miss E used to use one as a 'bus ticket' to school (in our car) and now A likes to collect tickets to allow entry past him at the stair gate at the top of our stairs. I really have no idea why they love them quite so much but it inspired this download and I hope you find a kid who likes them too. Update: I have a great friend who did the PDF for me in the cool font (just in case you visited when the plain font was up - if not - ignore this part!).

You can download them here:


Some tips for cutting them out. The shape can be a bit of a pain to cut out so just cut them into rectangular strips and use a hole punch to cut out the notches. May not be perfect but definitely the easiest way!



Also, I have a guillotine with a perforated blade that I use for the joins so they can pull them apart themselves. You could also use a sewing machine (without thread obviously) for the same effect. Or just cut them of course....

    In a junk shop I found some old tickets that said "Hug" and "Kiss." I bought them for my kids, but I haven't given them out because I didn't want to run out. Now I can just make more when I need them. Thanks for posting this.

    I found you through The Crafty Crow.

    Good idea! Nice Tickets!
    Only negative would be I printed out 27 of them. I only needed 2 or 3. But it does not matter. Awesome job!
