My Picture Diary Playground

We all know what it's like juggling our busy day to day lives alongside wanting to spend more quality

time with our children. We get bogged down with our own distractions whilst the children want to play

and be heard. Before you know it, they are in bed, you are exhausted and a feeling of guilt overwhelms you.

Does that sound familiar? Believe me I have been there! 'My Picture Diary Playground' provides the perfect

setting for spending more time with the kids and a better picture

of what your child's day was like. The benefits are endless, ( Please go to 'for best results' to see benefits)

Children often find it easier to express emotions through drawing, which you can easier identify and

through art. They do not have to be a Michael Angelo!
