What our experts think
Children don’t come with a manual, but a few good tools in your toolbox can work wonders. The Can-Do Child® activity cards for parents and childminders are perfect for livening up daily outings (like queuing) and making the most of spare moments in the day. They are also ideal for parents and childminders who are looking for enjoyable activities that help their youngsters develop a wide range of soft skills, which are valuable throughout a child’s life for school, work and general wellbeing.
The pack of cards is compact enough to travel with, and each card is high quality and durable so parents can take just a couple of cards for inspiration when out and about. There is also a handy guide on the back of each card that shows the skills the activity supports, which childminders will find really useful for writing their observations, and will help parents understand the value of each activity.
