Imagine That & Stairway to Heaven @ Mother & Baby magazine

My cover story for Mother and Baby this month is called Imagine That! and it talks about kids, their imagination and how to encourage it.

Kids play


My exasperation with my son's plasticine inspired this article, and as I dutifully scrape the remnants off floors, furniture and bed covers, I will try to remind myself that it's good for him. Excuse me while I try to get the stuff out of his hair.
