How to Build Your Child's Creativity and Imagination
‘To be able to ideate, to think a fresh thought and offer it, is the only hope for our future.’

Join us for an enlightening chat with Lindi Bell, educational innovator and the founder of Small World School, the first Reggio-inspired school in South Africa. She shares how a child’s imagination and creativity are linked, and explains how reading, playing, boredom, open-ended time and a space to create are the keys to a child’s success. Find out how to help your children thrive!

With over 30 years of experience teaching across every age group, Lindi has become known for her fierce belief that children are strong, capable, creative and deeply intelligent—and that this should be celebrated.

Plus the best holiday book suggestions from Penguin Random House's Children's Sales Representative, Shinola Govender.
