Questions parents ask

What ages is it for?

Children aged 4–8. Puzzles, mazes and word games are tuned to the exact age you choose.

What’s the difference between the two books?

The road-trip book is full of things to spot and play in the car, plus your destination if you tell us. The at-home book has an indoor scavenger hunt, a comic, a story starter and other things to do around the house. Both have 20 pages.

What do I need to tell you?

Just your child’s age and what they love. A first name, a destination or an occasion like “rainy day” are optional extras.

How does printing work?

You get a PDF in US Letter and A4. Print at home in black and white or color, at actual size.

What do you do with my child’s details?

We only ask for an age and an optional first name: never a birthday, photo or gender. They are used to make the book and nothing else.

Is it a subscription?

No. It’s a one-time purchase for one personalized book.
