All About Me

Half activity book, half memory. Your child draws their own face in the frame, traces their name, draws round their own hand and their own foot, circles their favourite things, ticks what they can already do and draws what they want to be one day. The last page is dated and signed, which is the bit that matters: print it again next birthday, keep both, and you have a record of who they were at three and at four — in their own hand, not yours. Then play How big am I?: lie down on the floor, line up shoes from head to toes and count them, then books, then hand spans, and write it all on the measuring page to compare next birthday. Draw my shoe and my T-shirt in four easy steps, join the dots to find a sock, finish the other half of a person, snip along four cutting lines, spot the difference, sort morning from bedtime and find the way through four mazes.
