You’ll find them in films, books, and plays Colouring is a great way to keep children's minds active and busy, they won't even realise they are working because it's such fun! How can I keep my child busy?The Olivier Award nominated The Tiger Who Came to Tea is celebrating 15 years on stage and over 55 years as Britain’s best-loved picture book! Ask questions about what they think might happen next (for example, “what else do you think the tiger will eat?”) Former Children’s Laureate Michael Rosen has drawn parallels between the book and the author’s life. Kerr spent her early years in Berlin just before the start of the Third Reich and her father was on a death list because of his opposition to the Nazis. Her family fled Germany and most of their property was seized in 1933 when she was nine years old. Rosen claims the tiger could be based on her memory of the past threat: something that could have disrupted her life as a young child and taken everything the family owned. He said "Judith knows about dangerous people who come to your house and take people away. She was told as a young child that her father could be grabbed at any moment by either the Gestapo or the SS - he was in great danger. So I don't know whether Judith did it consciously or not - I wouldn't want to go there - but the point is he's a jokey tiger, but he is a tiger." [7] Kerr, however, stated more than once that the tiger represents nothing more than a tiger, and had no relevance to her upbringing.

But have you ever found yourself wondering if tigers have ever roamed the UK? As we went through the ideas I did a brain storm for him – I think it’s really important that children see us writing, so much of our written communication is done via Computers now that writing by hand is becoming a lost art so when ever I can I make sure to write lists, envelopes, cards, ideas and anything else I can think of in front of him. I’ve made some simple wipe clean sheets with plain paper that I laminated that we can reuse over and over again. Our Invitations
