Synopsis

A boxed deck of 30 cards containing explanations and simple exercises to help your little one understand the world around them.

Words matter. You matter! Choose your words wisely.

This supportive deck of 30 cards introduces complex concepts to young children - from celebrating our differences to making a difference to the world.

Each card offers a word on the front and an age-appropriate definition and exercise on the reverse, providing parents and caregivers with ways to educate, connect and communicate with their child.

With each card, little ones will be invited to:

• Notice examples in their day-to-day life
• Practise positive affirmations
• Move mindfully with breathing and yoga poses
• Ask questions and follow their curiosity
• Take care of themselves, their friends and their family

Compiled in consultation with brilliant mindfulness educator Wynne Kinder, M. Ed., this deck will grow not only young children's vocabularies, but their hearts and minds, too. A booklet is also included to help parents and caregivers make the most of the cards.
