As we edge ever closer to the summer holidays here in the UK, we’re looking for screen-free ways to keep the kids entertained.
And it got us thinking—could their favourite Yoto Cards provide some inspiration for real-life mini adventures? For example:

Pick a language from this card, and spend a day teaching them about the culture. You could listen to a radio station from another country, or take them to a restaurant that serves food from that place.
