A backup when they say no
Sound familiar?
The tablet comes out at the same moments every day
5:30 pm, dinnerYou need 20 minutes at the stove. They need you. Now.
The work callCamera on, and someone is about to climb onto your lap.
Baby finally asleepThe big one has to be quiet. For an hour.
“One more episode!”The screen goes off and the meltdown starts.
You don't need a list of 500 activities.
You need the right one, right now. And a plan B.

121 play ideas
Made from what's already in your kitchen

Look inside before you buy
The real pages of your printable kit
What you get, no fine print
Everything in one purchase
Works on any phone, even offline. No account, no ads. Your notes stay on your phone.
A4 and US Letter, ink-light, no laminating needed.
One page: nine moments, four ideas each. Stick it up and go.
The warning, the words, 60-second bridges and calm lines for big feelings.
Optional. One small step a day to make screen time calmer.
Mark what your child loved. It comes first next time.
An honest note
Every child is different. Some ideas will be a hit and some won't, and play times are typical ranges, not promises. That's exactly why every idea comes with a plan B, and why the app learns what works for your child.

Questions
Is it an app from the App Store?
No. It's a web app: open the link on your phone and tap “Add to Home Screen”. It then works like an app, even offline.
Which phones does it work on?
Any modern iPhone or Android phone, plus tablets and computers.
Do I need to buy materials?
No. The ideas use everyday things like pots, tape, socks, cups and paper. Tell the app what you don't have and it hides those ideas.
What ages is it for?
2 to 6. Set your child's age and the ideas adjust.
Can my partner or the nanny use it too?
Yes. Open the same link and code on each phone.
Isn't this just another screen?
The app is for you, not your child. You glance at it, then put the phone down and play.
How do I get it?
Right after checkout you get an email with the app link, your access code and the PDF downloads.
