Petit Pinceau

A 5-year-old's birthday gift: between nursery and big school

Designed in France*

At 5, a child stays inside the lines and starts inventing stories around the images. An album where their family becomes the cast pushes them naturally into telling. "That's dad when we were at the seaside", "that's my cousin". The 12-photo format turns into a real little memory book, finished in a few weeks.

A few examples that work for this case

  • Class or group photo turned into a coloring page for a 5-year-old

    A school group photo as a page to colour. The child finds each friend, one by one.

  • Scene of a child at different ages (baby, 3, 5) rendered as line art

    The child at several ages on the same spread. They love recognising themselves.

Our tip for a 5-year-old

Mix recent photos with older ones (them at 2, their first day at school). At 5, the child loves recognising themselves at different ages. School group photos and past birthdays work especially well.

My child is starting primary school. Is this a good transition gift?
