Turn your memories into photo gifts

The advent of digital image storage has meant that the range of photo gifts into which individual photographs can be turned has expanded dramatically. What this means is that no matter what the event or occasion, there is almost bound to be something in the selection of personalised photo gifts which perfectly fits the bill.

There was a time when the only things that could be done with photos was to turn them into the likes of key rings and fridge magnets, but the latest developments in technology have led to a situation whereby the range of possible photo gifts is almost overwhelmingly wide.

The importance of storybook writing

A family vacation. A day on the beach. Adventures with a favorite stuffed animal. A magical carpet ride to a mysterious and undiscovered land. Story writing transcribes a young learner’s vivid perspective in such astonishing ways that spoken words cannot. It facilitates self-expression by tapping into each child’s imagination and fusing it with creative language.

Story writing encourages children to engage in active and independent creative thinking. But it also teaches students how to employ logic and consider the methodical succession of events and situations within a story. Story writing promotes organization skills and rational thought processes. To take it a step further, events in a story can be completely restructured to convey a different theme, moral or point of view. For instance, the story of ‘Goldilocks and The Three Bears’ follows a linear sequential timing of events. As an exercise, ask your child to retell the story from Goldilock’s perspective in first person narrative. The story structure may change completely into a series of flashbacks accompanied with present day self-reflection. Read more
