How it can be used
Once printed, the book lays flat on a table or folds back for easy page-by-page storytelling. If a page becomes worn or marked, it can be reprinted and replaced without remaking the whole book. The photographs are sequenced as short visual stories rather than a loose collection of images, which supports conversation and recall around seaside memories.
Each CD includes three files to get you started:
- Picture book PDF — sequenced seaside photographs including seascapes, shells, people at the beach, pebble skimming, frisbee throwing, and children playing in the sand
- Step-by-step printing instructions — with screenshots to guide setup
- Test printing file — to check output before a full print run
- Printed book runs to 50 pages (25 A4 sheets, with a small number of blank pages)
- One-to-one reminiscence: Sit with a resident and move through the book page by page, using the sequenced images as prompts for personal memories of beach visits, holidays, or seaside activities.
- Small group conversation: Place the open book on a table and invite participants to name what they see, share a related memory, or describe a favourite beach.
- Storytelling session: Fold the book back and read through it as a short story, pausing at key images to invite responses or questions from the group.
- Sensory pairing: Use alongside sand, shells, or recorded sea sounds to reinforce the seaside theme during a multisensory activity session.
- Page replacement task: Involve a resident in reprinting and reinserting a worn page as a simple, purposeful hands-on activity.
