P is for . . .

We have 4 wonderful postcards designed by Devon illustrator Rosie Johnson. Pop into your local library across the county and pick one up. Send a card, with a little note to let someone know you're thinking of them in these unusual times.

We have 2 black and white designs for colouring in too. This was a very popular letter in our A-Z last year with kindness being spread far and wide with postcards being sent to loved ones all over the world. Lets hope we can do the same this year.

Rosie has also designed a new game for families to help children to talk about those big questions we're sometimes not too keen to talk about.

Natter Matters is a card game full of big questions with no wrong answers. From “is it ever ok to tell a lie?” To “What would you take with you to a desert island?” These questions are designed to get children (and the adults who care for them) thinking, listening and talking. It's been designed by Rosie Johnson Illustrates and is made in the UK.

Natter Matters is a card game for children aged 5+, for 2 or more players.

It contains cards with 52 open questions with no wrong answers. These are based on months of research (and years of teaching and parenting experience) and are a mixture of big, philosophical, moral, social questions and more lighthearted ice breakers.

It’s the size of a standard deck of cards so Natter Matters is the perfect game to pop in your pocket for journeys, post to a friend or family member, whip out at the breakfast table for a chat…

”This game has transformed tutor time with my Year 7s. I thought we were going to need to make it more complex but they just really get stuck into sharing their ideas and we’re even setting up a lunchtime debate club to take it further. This in a very ‘low’ socioeconomic area where literacy levels are below the national average. I cannot thank you enough.” Mr K, academy teacher
