We’ve created a DVD Toolkit for people who work with under 4s in playgroups and nurseries and children's centres. This fantastic resource is free to download and includes information about the Generate project, how to replicate activities and processes and an outline of how the project helps to meet the Early Years Foundation Stage Targets. In 2009, we distributed the DVD free of charge to Children's Centres across Thanet.

Generate was set up in 2007 with a group of Kent artists inspired by the creativity of their children. The project encourages parents and children to make artwork together through listening, sharing and exchanging skills and ideas.
