Common Questions

Do these activities cost money?

No — all ideas are completely free and use things you'll find outdoors or already have at home. No shopping or prep required.

What if the weather is really bad?

Even a few minutes of fresh air can help. But if it's genuinely unsafe to go out, try our indoor tools instead — there's no pressure to be outdoors every day.

Are these educational activities?

They're designed to be fun first. Any learning happens naturally through play, movement, and exploring — not through structured lessons or goals.

Is my data saved anywhere?
