Too much screen time, too little wonder?

Do the cartoons win every time you suggest something else?

Do their questions end with “I don’t know, let’s Google it”?

Do the evenings fly by without a moment that’s really yours?

Their curiosity is a gift. It just needs somewhere to go.

Lea, Max and Kiko the raccoon exploring together

Meet Lea, Max and Kiko

It started with one question.

“Why is the sky blue?” asked Max, six, nose pressed to the window. Lea, eight, wasn’t sure. Kiko the raccoon had an idea.

A glass of water, a few drops of milk and a torch later, the kitchen table glowed blue on one side and orange on the other. “That’s the sky at lunchtime… and that’s a sunset!” Max shouted.

That is how every page works: a real question, a simple answer, and something to try with your own hands.

What your child will discover

Questions parents ask us

How do I receive it?

Straight away. As soon as your payment is confirmed, we email your personal access link to the address you type at checkout, and your books are waiting in your Members Area. Nothing is posted.

What do we need for the experiments?

Everyday things: water, paper, glasses, a torch and a few kitchen-cupboard ingredients. Each experiment lists what you need. Always supervise; any heating or cutting is for a grown-up.

Can we read it on a phone, tablet or print it?

Yes. They are PDFs, so you can open them on a phone, tablet or computer, or print the pages you want as often as you like for personal use.

What age is it for?

Children aged 6–11. Younger ones enjoy it with a grown-up reading aloud; confident readers explore on their own.

Isn’t this just another screen?

Not really. Read a page on the tablet if you like, then put it down and do the experiment with your hands. Or print it and skip the screen entirely.

Can I use it in the classroom?

Yes, many questions work well as a short science starter or a rainy-day activity. Please use it with your own class or group only.

What if it isn’t right for us?

You have 14 days. If you are not happy, email us and we will refund you — no questions asked.

Who do I contact if I need help?

Write to mistershop001@gmail.com or simply reply to your access email. A real person will help.
