Child Developement

Photographs are not only great for reliving memories but can also act as visual guides for children. This activity puts together photographs and art in a creative and fun way as we create a family and friends picture book! This will help your children map their relationships with the people they meet and know.

What’s more, this is a great keepsake for when they get older :)
