Tapestry has announced a new collaboration with publisher Group Hugs, giving families the opportunity to turn their child’s online learning journal into a beautifully printed book to treasure.
For more than a decade, Tapestry has helped educators and families capture children’s development digitally — sharing moments of learning, milestones, and everyday experiences between home and settings. Now, those moments can be brought together in a tangible format, creating a lasting keepsake of a child’s early years.
The printed journals transform a child’s Tapestry observations, photos, and comments into a professionally bound book, offering families a new way to revisit and celebrate their child’s journey.
“Over the years, we’ve had lots of feedback from educators that families would love to have a real book capturing their child’s early learning and development. Teaming up with Group Hugs means we can now make this a reality. It’s wonderful to be able to share the photos and comments added by educators and relatives in a tangible book that parents and carers can treasure for many years.”
The collaboration brings together Tapestry’s focus on meaningful documentation of children’s learning with Group Hugs’ expertise in high-quality, on-demand print.
“We are delighted to be working with Tapestry on an exciting new chapter for the content they provide. Our approach to print — particularly on-demand and more sustainable solutions — aligned closely from the start, and it’s been a partnership we’re very proud of.”
The books are designed to feel personal and unique to each child, incorporating details such as their name, setting, and selected learning moments.
Early feedback from educators has been overwhelmingly positive. One educator shared:
“The quality is exceptional and such a beautiful keepsake for families. Details like the cover, the child’s picture, and the setting name make it feel really personalised. I’m very excited to purchase this for one of our children who is leaving soon.”
Printed journals are available from £16.95 (plus postage and packaging), and can be ordered either through the Group Hugs website or directly from within Tapestry when downloading a child’s journal as a PDF.
Families can also order copies from previous years by uploading saved PDFs, giving them the flexibility to revisit and preserve earlier stages of their child’s development.
