Tarot for Kids

What a beautiful gift for adults and kids alike
I recently bought this tarot deck not having had any experience with tarot or really knowing what it was. I guess I sort of thought of tarot as some sort of hokey fortune telling prop. I got it because I was (and still am) planning to use it as part of my Halloween costume this year.It turns out, though, that it’s not hokey or artificial at all. I’m finding that it’s actually a really cool tool for having beautiful and important conversations with my children and with myself as well…almost like a guided meditation. It has helped give me insight into what is happening in my kids’ lives: helped them put what they’re experiencing into words, and guided me in asking useful questions to reveal how they’re thinking/feeling about things. My kids are feeling seen and heard and I am so grateful.The cards use classic archetypes to help kids make sense of big world things - just as we read fairy tales to our kids when they are little to help them learn how the world works or to teach them important life lessons, tarot, too, uses pages, knights, queens, kings, fools, magicians, towers, etc. It helps kids see the bigger picture and work out the puzzles they’re confronting in their daily lives. Regular practice also helps kids learn how to identify and listen to their gut feelings. They learn to trust their own intuition to help them make difficult decisions or to see them through challenging times. I would have LOVED this sort of thing as a tween/teen. What a gift.There are no doubt several other tools out there for this sort of open dialogue between parents and kids, but since every kid/person is different and what works for one isn’t necessarily what works for another, I thought I’d share my experience. This deck is so beautiful and thoughtful and kind. I can see us using it for many years to come.

Fantastic illustrations
As a professional psychic I was curious after decades of the author blogging, what The Tarot Lady(author theresa reed) would come up with for a deck. I really like it. There are mostly traditional designs so it doesnt cross the line into censorship. Example, 3 swords still depicts swords thru the heart. But 10 of swords, the swords go into the ground. But the changes ms. Reed did make were skillful and respectful of ms. Coleman Smith's original art. Example, devil replaced by 2 bulls and called, the bully. Tower is still there (removed depiction of impailed humans), lovers replaced by best friends, and hanged man replaced by a child hanging from their knees on a tree branch, patience.Its genius because the illustration are different but the concept generally is unchanged. I love them for youth, yes, but anyone who feels Intimidated or turned off by the traditional coleman smith deck, or is worried about them being "a tool of the devil" haha. This is more digestible and accessible without compromising the integrity. The cards are large and you can't shuffle them with the same ease as traditional sized tarot cards, is my only hardship. Very happy to have purchased these, and that's saying something since I do not own more than one tarot deck. Glad I made room for one more.

This is a BRILLIANT TAROT DECK and a MUST HAVE!
The media could not be loaded. This is the deck that I WISH I HAD as a child. Theresa Reed explains all in a clear, positive, thoughtful way in the accompanying book. "The Lovers" card is the "The Best Friends" card and "Death" is "Change". Theresa also includes one solid bold sentence in her book for easy learning above each in-depth description. For the Magician, she writes - "You are smart and powerful. You can do it." This deck is a treasure for children to help them navigate daily life - these cards are little friends! I am grateful that Theresa came up with this brilliant deck for kids everywhere. The artwork is stunning - the deck is inclusive and beautiful. A treasure for any child and adult! I would also recommend this deck to adults - Theresa's beautiful meanings for the cards make it fun to learn and the artwork by Kailey Whitman is soulful and connected. This is the PERFECT gift for the children in your life or your inner child!

Perfect for beginners!
Iv been teaching my kids tarot for a little bit now and this deck will be used a lot! I love love love the imagery and how there are slight changes to some of the cards for example "the lovers" is "the best friends" in this deck. This deck is very relatable to young learners. The book it comes with is great and I will be using it when teaching my kids. I literally will be reading it out loud to them as they pass around the card. The descriptions are short and simple yet easy for my kids to understand and learn from. And at the end of each card description they ask a question to get them thinking about what the card means and how they can relate it to themselves.I would even recommend this as a good learning deck for adults. It provides a good perspective to the cards that I can see being beneficial to all ages.

Lovely deck...even for adults
This deck is so calming and feels like a sweet friend. Nothing is jarring but everything is relatable. This allows intuition to gently come to you and stat to connect and relate to the archetypes in the pictures. The price point on this is amazing for such a large deck and the guidebook is decent.If you are an adult I do think this could be your first deck or one of the first ones. It is based on RWS so everything will feel familiar. I would recommend getting a good tarot reference book to go along wth it though. For kids the cards might be too big to shuffle so it might be more useful to just pull a card and use it as flash cards to represent feelings and thoughts which children can work with. I could see this being very good for kids in learning environments to gather emotional intelligence and develop self-care and mindfulness habits.My only wish to improve the deck would be to give it matte coating so the image surface is protected since it will be used with kids. I would also make the cards smaller so they can be handled more easily. That's it! the tuck box it comes in is pretty durable for me so I don't even mind that. Lovely gift for the young and young at heart.

Hermoso
Son tarjetas grandes para la sujeción de la mano, no traen acabados especiales y el grosor no es tanto, pero las ilustraciones son hermosas, muy hermosas y detalladas, trae cambios en ciertas tarjetas del tarot para que haga mas clic con los niños, es un producto que puede usar un tarotista para lecturas normales, no es necesariamente para niños. Reitero las ilustraciones son muy bellas y vale la pena.

För nyfikna barn….i alla åldrar
Äntligen har barnbarnen en egen kortlek så jag får ha mina ifred 🤗Enkla motiv som dom kan förstå….uppskattad av alla åldrar…Tyvärr så var några korts hörn böjda och trasiga…
