Design and Artwork

Tarot for Kids, authored by Theresa Reed and illustrated by Kailey Whitman, features a 78-card deck designed specifically for children aged 8 and up. The cards, beautifully illustrated by Whitman, are based on the traditional Rider-Waite-Smith tarot deck, with modifications suitable for younger audiences. Key cards like ‘Death’ and ‘The Lovers’ have been thoughtfully altered to ‘Change’ and ‘Friends,’ making them more kid-friendly.

Symbolism and Themes

The deck embraces themes of advice, decision-making, and intuition, tailored to be accessible and engaging for children. The guidebook provides a comprehensive introduction to tarot, including its history, card meanings, and reading methods. It also offers resources for personal development, like goal setting and building friendships, nurturing a child’s inner wisdom and creativity.

User Experience

The 96-page guidebook included with the deck is an excellent resource for beginners, both children and adults. The large card size, while challenging for smaller hands, emphasizes the detailed artwork, making it easier for kids to engage with the imagery. The deck has been well-received for its educational value and its ability to introduce tarot in a fun, approachable manner.
