Chunky CrayonThe post-dinner alternative to switching the TV on.
For families replacing after-dinner TV with a calmer wind-down.
The situation
After-dinner TV pushes bedtime later every night and the blue light is wrecking sleep. You want a real alternative for that 7 to 8pm slot.
The hour between dinner and bedtime is when most families cave to a screen. Print one of these pages and you have a fully screen-free alternative. Calm themes (night scenes, stars, animals, gentle patterns), simple enough that the kid can do it solo while you finish the kitchen, finite enough that it ends naturally before bedtime. If they want to color on the iPad instead, the app version is far calmer than the TV, but the print route is what makes this a real wind-down.
Other collections parents and teachers often pair with this one.
A predictable activity that travels between two homes.
