Family Photo Cards

Step by step

1. 1Print photos of loved ones and their favourite cuddly toy in A5 or A4 size, on thick paper if possible.
2. 2Look through the cards one by one with your baby, warmly naming each person ("Look, it's Grandma!").
3. 3Ask "Where's Daddy?" and let baby stare at, tap, or grab the right card.
4. 4Kiss the photos and make them "talk" using each person's voice.
5. 5Stick a few cards at baby's eye level, right by their playmat or crib.
6. 6Come back to the photos before naptime or goodbyes: "Daddy is still here, he'll be right back."

What it builds

Seeing familiar faces on cards helps babies hold onto loved ones even when they're out of sight. It's a comforting anchor during goodbyes: Daddy is still real even if he's at work, the photo proves it, and waiting feels a little easier.
