What your child builds

A one-button runner. Sprout scoots down the street catching coins and jumping rocks. Jump through a give hoop to send 3 coins to the library, the playground or the animal rescue, and the neighbours add 3 more. Light up the whole town, and keep 20 coins for a kite, if you can.

Three editions: Rescue kittens, sea turtles or puppies, and light up the library and the playground.

For grown-ups

A give jar your child can ride. Every pack ends with a section for you: what your child learned in each build, and questions to keep the conversation going.

“If you had a give jar, which cause would you choose?”

“Why do gifts grow when lots of people give together?”

“How do you decide between something for you and something for others?”
