A calm activity to share each day with a parent or grandparent, at home or during a visit.

Daily puzzles and word games in large print, at a level that feels right.
In the language they grew up with
Every pack can be created in English, Spanish, German or Italian, whatever language you use the site in. Words and questions are written for that language, not translated word for word.
