<p style="text-align: center;">I first met Dutch journalist and all-round nice gal Flore de Vries yonks ago when she had just made her home in Cape Town. Fast forward a wee bit and we both had babes in arms. A little further down the line, and Flore and I were chatting about her ingenious and fun little cardboard book, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1534200466796963.1073741828.1534197180130625&amp;type=3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">My First Cape Town Words</a>. From ‘bakkie’ and ‘dassie’ to ‘braai’ and ‘train’ I loved the way she visually connected single words with iconic Cape Town imagery and landmarks in a colourful, robust and perfect-for-little-hands format. Since then Flore has been prolific, creating and growing her kids product range under the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/picturesandwords.co.za/timeline" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pictures &amp; Words</a> label. There’s a puzzle and a memory game, colouring in and activity books and postcards and another word book, this time Jozi-inspired.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">It’s just such a clever little range she’s developing, with humorous moments and a graphic, fun design signature that all adds up to the ideal addition to your children’s playing and learning repertoire: perfect for local kids to grow their knowledge and take pride in our landscape, as well as, of course, making great gifts for ex-pats and family and friends living abroad. The range also includes gorgeous Shweshwe notebooks  <a href="http://iwantthat.co.za/decor-lifestyle/feeling-lucky/win-a-hamper-from-pictures-words/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Continue reading </a></p>
