4 Minutes of Childhood
When the UNCRC Scotland Bill becomes law this year we will find ourselves as a nation with an extraordinary opportunity for positive change. Children will suddenly have a real say about how we do things. We will be having more conversations with children – and that should be easy, shouldn’t it? Because every grownup has BEEN a child!
…But how well do we remember what that felt like?
Licketyspit’s work has all developed out of consulting children through PLAY – the language of children.
We would like to make you a delightful & serious invitation to take 4 minutes from your day to revisit how you played as a child!
Please put your phone on silent and relax and remember…

I miss it, being a child was the best!
I was more of a sporty type but now I’m kind of nerdy.

I’m happy how close it made me with my cousins
