Materials for Families

For Parents, Grannies, Nannies, and others who care for young children.

LLF's materials for families are bi-lingual in Spanish and English.

Family materials are pocket-sized for any time, any place use.

Line drawings on the cover define the topic to reduce dependence on literacy – and add charm to the materials.

A companion pocket-sized  guide to visual vocabulary explains the meaning of different kinds of lines, shapes, colors,  etc. and helps parents expand their own observation and questioning skills.

LLF’s pocket-sized materials are effective separately and powerful together.

Here is a sampling of the more than 20 topics.
