Eleven studios, open right now
Every one is built and working today. Nothing on this list is a promise.
The Idea Machine
Pick an age and what you're into, and get a mission with real steps — then jump straight into a studio to make it. Twenty-three missions across four age bands.
Coloring pages
Turn any photo into clean bold line art, ready to print and colour in. The one that works for the youngest kids.
Comic studio
Panels, speech and thought bubbles, captions, your own photos or drawings. Build page after page into a whole comic book with a cover.
Design studio
T-shirts, stickers in six shapes, posters, door signs, bookmarks, book covers, album covers, postcards, greeting cards and certificates — all downloading at 300 dpi.
Maker sheets
Sixteen of them: superhero, villain, monster, new animal, planet, invention, business, restaurant, food truck, toy company, pet shop, magazine, a new sport, a dream trip, a whole school, or any character at all.
Maze maker
Four difficulties up to 30 by 30, character themes, and an answer key. Every maze has exactly one route through.
Paint by number
Turn a photo into a numbered painting page with a colour key. Choose how many colours and how small the shapes get.
Puzzle studio
Crosswords and word searches from your own words and clues, or from a theme. Prints as a worksheet with a name and date line, answers on a separate sheet.
Story studio
Write a book, lay out the pages, then print it folded and stapled as a real little booklet. Story dice and first lines for when they're stuck.
Trading cards
Real 2.5 by 3.5 inch cards with facts on the back that the kid researches and writes. Fronts and backs lined up for printing.
Word play
Silly fill-in-the-blank stories, name poems, and haiku with a syllable counter. The mad libs get read aloud at the table.
Save and print everything
Every studio downloads a print-ready file, free, with no watermark and no export limit. This is the whole point.

Why not just use Canva?
Fair question — it's what we tried first, and it's why this exists.
Built for everybody
A general design tool aimed at adults doing work. Powerful, and a lot of blank canvas for a seven-year-old to stare at.
Built only for kids
Every studio starts with choices, not an empty page. A six-year-old can make something in under a minute without reading anything.
Some downloads cost extra
On the free plan, designs using premium elements stay watermarked until you buy them or upgrade, and transparent or vector exports need a paid plan.
Every download is free
No watermarks, no premium elements, no locked file types, no export limit. Everything comes out print-ready at full resolution. There is no upgrade to buy.
One account, one person
Priced per person, and set up for an individual working on their own projects.
One account, every kid
One price per household. Every child in the house gets their own profile and their own work, and you own the account.
The honest version. Canva is a better design tool than this will ever be, and if you're an adult making a flyer you should use it. This is for a nine-year-old who wants to make a shirt and print it without anyone asking for a credit card.

Kids photography course — $99
An add-on, bought separately from your plan. Four weeks of online instruction, phone cameras only, no gear needed, ending with each kid publishing a printed photo book of their own work. You don't need it to use any of the studios.
Nothing else is an add-on
Every studio, every new studio as it ships, and every download are already in your plan. The course is the only thing sold separately.
Your launch price is locked for good. Buy at the launch rate and you renew at that rate every year, even after the regular price goes up. Cancel any time.
One price per household. Not per child. Every kid in the house gets their own profile, their own work, and their own downloads.
Two ways to work with us
Both are for members only. Join first, and the full details — rates, links and everything you need to get going — are waiting inside your account.
Become an affiliate
For teachers, educators, camp leaders and photographers. Share your link with the families you already teach and earn a commission on every household and every group licence that comes through it. Nothing to stock, nothing to ship. You'll need a membership first — your link and rates are inside.
Run a fundraiser
For schools, classrooms, troops, teams and PTAs. Your group gets a link, families buy household access at the regular price, and your group keeps a share of every signup. No catalogs, no order forms, no boxes to sort in the gym. Members only — join, then find your group link and the full terms inside.
You have to be a member to join either one. Pick a plan below, and everything you need for the affiliate and fundraiser programmes is waiting inside your account.
Built parent-first, because kids are the ones using it
- The parent owns the accountKids get profiles inside it. Nothing gets set up without a grown-up.
- There is no feedNo public posting, no comments, no kid-to-kid messaging. Work stays in the family gallery.
- Every image is filteredPrompts and results both pass a safety check before a child ever sees them.
- You can see and delete everythingThe parent dashboard shows every file, every time.
- Kids never need an email addressChildren don't get their own login or inbox here. Profiles live inside your account, so we collect nothing from your child directly.
- We never sell your informationNot your email, not your child's name, not anything. No data brokers, no ad networks, no exceptions.
I have three kids. I know exactly what it feels like to hand one of them a screen and hope for the best — and I wasn't willing to build something I wouldn't put in front of my own.
I built this after one too many summer camps where the software wanted a subscription before a nine-year-old could download their own shirt design. That was the moment. A room full of kids who had made something good, and a paywall standing between them and holding it.
So there's nobody in here talking to your child. No feed to scroll, no comments, no follower count, nothing to chase. What they make belongs to them and it stays with your family. They're free to sit down, build something that's entirely theirs, and print it out and hold it. That's screen time I'll defend.
