So true, and we’re seeing this more and more, especially in the years most affected by lockdown. The impact on missing out on sensory play, imaginative play, free play, for example. Without that foundation it is hard to build upon the social and cognitive learning.

It is aimed at those starting school, but I have drawn on it across a number of ages. The message is simple, but it’s that simplicity and the illustrations that make it memorable.

This is a favourite of mine - the lovely message for children of all different family combinations that each family is unique and it is the love within it that is the thing that shines through.

Thank you ☺️

Reception is the best for that - it’s like a magic potion 🌟

The weather outside is frightful ….

Exactly - I went into Asda the other day and it was a sensory overload - I couldn’t process it, couldn’t find what I needed, was drawn all over the place and came out overwhelmed, tired and grumpy. I have recently realised why Aldi doesn’t trigger those feelings - and it’s a good feeling.
