So, I thought I'd better introduce myself - I'm Mirain, the face behind Plethyn, and 'cardiau cryfder'! I'm originally from Caernarfon, but I now work as a Lecturer in Cardiff. The enterprise came from a walk through Llandaf fields with a friend and fellow-mum, both of us full of ideas and passion for Welsh language resources for our kids, - and here I am, a year later! Introducing 'Cardiau Cryfder' (loosely translated as 'strength cards') - a collection of 20 bilingual affirmation cards for children of all ages. Their purpose is to encourage thoughts of positivity, thoughtfulness and confidence about yourself and others through the use of simple but effective statements. Each card includes an original drawing by a local artist, my sister in law, Jenny Evans!! Children can use the cards in many different ways as they grow up - by engaging with the fun drawings, or by reading the aspirational statements with someone or by themselves. They're a great resource for developing bilingual skills too!
