Description
This pink wooden plaque carries a tender bedtime poem in gold lettering, a gentle keepsake for a little girl's room. The verse runs over nine lines in a classic serif type: "Hold her a little longer, Rock her a little more. Read her another story, You’ve only read her four." It closes on "She is only a little girl, For such a little while," words that ring true for many parents in those early years. The soft matt pink face is scattered with gold stars, with a crescent moon in one corner and drifting cloud outlines in two others. The plaque is a neat rectangle, 18cm by 13cm, made from MDF.
It belongs in a nursery or a little girl's bedroom, where the words sit kindly beside a cot, a changing table or a reading chair. A black stand on the back lets it sit upright on a shelf, windowsill or chest of drawers, and a small hanger at the top means it can go on the wall instead, so you can choose whichever suits the room. It makes a thoughtful gift for a baby girl or a little girl up to three years old, and a piece the family can keep long after the nursery years have passed.
The MDF board gives the plaque a smooth, even surface and clean square edges, with the matt pink carried round the sides and over the back. To care for it, dust with a soft dry cloth and keep it away from damp, as you would any MDF piece. It is a keepsake for display rather than for a child to play with, so set it out of reach of little hands. Wrapped with a card, it makes a tender present for a little girl's room, and a gentle reminder to slow down and savour every bedtime story.
