NEW! Caring for Babies & Young Children Poster
We are excited to launch the latest Children for Health poster – a two-sided full colour practical tool made with children, for children and their communities.
It’s free to download here:
www.childrenforhealth.org/CaringforBabiesPoster
We recommend printing it out in A3 on durable card – ideally laminated and you will need two copies – front and back.
This isn’t just any poster. It’s designed to spark curiosity and care in older children, parents, teachers, and community workers who interact with babies and young children every day.
Babies and toddlers can sometimes seem like hard work: messy, noisy, and hard to understand. But this poster helps flip that view. It shows that even the smallest child is full of learning, feelings, and fun – and that with care and attention, they thrive.
What makes this poster special?
- It shares 10 key messages that help young adolescents (aged 10-14) learn how to care for babies and young children in ways that are safe, loving, and fun.
- It encourages children to be more observant – to notice when a baby is trying to talk, copy someone, or play.
- It shows that caregiving isn’t just for adults – older siblings can be amazing caregivers.
- And on the back? You’ll find local learning games and activity ideas to help children turn everyday moments into chances to connect and support little ones.
This poster was shaped by the voices of children, teachers, and health workers in Zambia during our pilot workshops. Their real-life insights helped make the messages more meaningful – and more fun!
Special thanks to Kelvin Nsekwila and his team including the children at Samsamwenje Primary School, Isoka District. You have co-created something with us of global value and relevance. Thanks to all the Child Development experts who helped us too – everyone who helped bring this to life. We can’t wait to see it in homes, clinics, schools, and anywhere children grow and learn.
