I went here the other day with a friend and her 2 year old.  Its possibly suited to slightly older children but our two gave it a good try anyway and we had lots of fun.  The ladies there are very friendly and helpful and will point you in the right direction of what to do.  There are lots of different pieces to choose from, plates, moneyboxes, tiles, mugs eggs and Easter bunnies.

We did go when my son was a lot smaller and did his and his friends footprints which was quite cute but a little hard work but a great idea for keepsakes.  It usually takes 3-5 days for your pieces to be ready to collect but they do make lovely presents for grandparents, fathers day, christmas etc.

There are often special offers on so it’s worth signing up to the email newsletter.

It’s very easy to find a gift from a couple of euros and a card for the endless birthday parties our children seem to attend these days.

The shop also offers a qualified tutoring service for children maybe needing help with school subjects.

There are a few things I wish I had done since having my son, and one of them is a professional photograph of him or the three of us, just to capture a special stage in our lives forever.

TC Fotografia is based in Marbella, however Toni covers all of  Malaga and beyond.

Her style is fresh and spontaneous capturing the personality of her subject perfectly.  Whether let loose at play, having a cute  snooze with bunny or cuddling  up with mum and dad.  Her expertise and enthusiasm putting even the most reluctant mums to  be at ease in front of the camera, with beautiful results.

So if you want to do something special and that will last forever then why not give it a go.
