You need

  • 4–5 photos (or drawings) of your child from baby to now
  • A long strip of paper and tape

Let's play

  1. Lay the photos out and talk about each one.
  2. Put them in order, from baby to now.
  3. Tape them along the strip and write the age under each.
  4. Add a blank space at the end: what will you be like next year?
Grown-up tip: Ask: what can you do now that you couldn’t do as a baby?
