Shalvit Kids TV Magazine — Issue 37: Twins, Siblings and Friends

TWO OF EVERYTHING? — the twins, siblings and best-friends issue!

Issue 37 of Shalvit Kids TV Magazine is a giant 135-page celebration of twins, siblings and friendship. Twin cousins Taiwo and Kehinde come to visit for the day — alike in many ways, different in the ways that matter, and each loved exactly as themselves!

INSIDE THIS ISSUE:

• Hero Story — Two of Everything?: Taiwo (the FIRST-born twin, in orange) and Kehinde (the second-born, in green) visit for the day — true Yoruba twin naming, their own colours and favourite things, ONE special drum shared with fair timer turns, and the refrain every family will keep: "Alike in many ways — different in the ways that matter — each loved exactly as themselves!"

• Story Two — Baby Tayo's Big Siblings: Lulu's baby brother is back (expanding Book 18) — four big-sibling helper jobs, Book 94's gentle-hands rules, and the wobbly feeling when Mummy is busy with the baby: named, comforted, never shamed.

• Bible Story Time — David and Jonathan (1 Samuel 18–20): two best friends promise to be kind to each other and each other's families forever — softened to the promise, with the secret signal by the field and a promise kept at its centre.

• Feelings Corner — Feeling Jealous of a Sibling: the feeling is named, hugged, given a kind job and talked through — never shamed (the Book 48 pattern).

• Learning Lab: same & different sorting with the twins' asserted alike/different pairs, sharing ONE special toy with timer turns, four friend words, the counted family (Mummy, Daddy, Kiki, Bibo, Lulu, Grandma — with Grandpa and Baby Tayo named as family too), and Kiki Asks Why? — "Why are twins not exactly the same?"

• Count & Find — The Twins' Visit Mat: find 6 pairs of matching things plus 3 things that are different — every item numbered, star-marked, and named in the answer key!

• Puzzle Pages: two solver-checked mazes, spot-the-difference, patterns, pair matching, dot-to-dot, a visit-day ordering puzzle and the Big Quiz — with a FULL answer key at the back.

• Make It — Two Friendship Bracelets: one to keep, one to give (grown-ups tie the knots).

• Yummy Corner — The Pairs Plate: fruit matched two-by-two (handwashing first; grown-ups cut, children count and match).

• Our Nigeria — Ìbejì: A Double Blessing: how Yoruba families celebrate twins as a double blessing, told joyfully and with respect.

• Special pages: a "My Friend Is…" portrait page to draw your own friend, and a Sibling Helper Badge to colour and wear with pride.

• Parent Pages: what your child learned, how to play the pages together, and the complete answer key.

Skills learned: same & different sorting • sharing and turn-taking • friendship words • sibling kindness and gentle hands • feelings vocabulary • counting pairs • Bible knowledge • fine-motor colouring, tracing and crafting.
