Do you have special twins in the family who would be perfect for a project to celebrate the diversity of twins? This summer I am looking for diverse twin families to join 'The unique Twins Project'.

What makes your twins unique? Parents of identical twins, same sex twins and sometimes even boy/girl twins may be used to the question "how do you tell the difference between them?" Or "which one are you? I want to bust the myth that twins are identical, even for the identical ones!

Please tell me about your twins to apply for a place in the project!

Rafael & Justin are 2 weeks old. They are identical twins. Rafael is 1 minute older and 1cm taller. Rafael likes singing and having his feet massaged. Justin is more impatient and likes being bathed. They both like their milk and in good quantities! Their characters seem different, but that's still developing! Their eyes and hair looks different for the moment, but they are clearly very similar, when they have their hats on it's really hard to distinguish them.

R & J - 2 weeks

Unique newborn identical twins

Kiaan and Kush are 6 weeks old. They are identical twins. Kiaan is 1 minute older but Kush is longer. Their favourite colour is white and they love to smile the same smile. Kush likes to talk and Kiaan likes to sleep a lot. They are already famous having been in the newspapers at birth as the "World first" twins being measured on TAMBA's twin specific scan growth charts.

K & K - 6 weeks

Ajooni and Raveena are 6 months old. Ajooni is 1 minute older. They are identical twins. But even at six months, you can start to see the differences in personality between the girls. Raveena was first to smile and will crack her cheesy grin at the drop of a hat whereas Ajooni is a bit more reflective, focussing in on her surroundings. However they both love mummy's milk, cuddles from mummy and daddy, and bath time - they love splashing in the bath.

A & R - 6 months

Bronte & Alban are 11 months old. Bronte is almost an hour older, Alban is taller. Bronte likes to say "yes!" Alban likes to say "no!" Alban likes cars, planes, bananas and sausages. Bronte likes bubble baths, cuddly toys, strawberries and pasta. They have different temperaments and a different energy level. They are exploring the world in different ways, Alban is interested in the physical world, Bronte is more communicative. They both love listening to stories. They both have brown eyes and big belly laughs. They both love Peppa Pig! And they are developing their own funny twin language just for them.

Sullivan and Julius are 2 and a half. Sullivan is older by 15 minutes but Julius was always heavier and a bit taller. They have similar interests and love books, singing and playing with water and sand. They both love fish and sea animals, especially octopus. One looks like daddy (Julius) and one looks like mummy (Sully). Their character are very different too. Sully is adventurous, always the first to climb up somewhere. Julius is more careful. Sully loves all fruits and he eats the vegetables before anything else on the plate. When he is happy he says 'I am fabulous!' and his laughter is infectious. Julius is very gregarious. He shouts 'Hello Postman' over the street and dances and sings in the streets.
