“Mumma, I’m bored.”
Never again.
100 screen-free activities that actually work — simple, joyful things your child can do with things already in your home — dal, atta, dupattas, pillows, the balcony. Each one takes 5–30 minutes and quietly builds a real skill. No new toys. No Amazon order. No screen.

Every parent knows these moments
You’re not doing anything wrong. Screens are everywhere, and it takes real effort to offer something better. That’s exactly why this book exists.
The 6 pm rush
You’re making dinner, your child is tugging at your kurta, and the phone is the only thing that buys you ten quiet minutes.
Rainy days & power cuts
No park, no plan, and “I’m bored” every four minutes. You want an idea now — not a Pinterest project that needs glitter glue and a trip to the market.
The screen-time guilt
You know they should be playing, building, moving. But coming up with fresh ideas every single day is exhausting. You need a list you can just open.
This book is that list. Open any page. Pick one. Ten minutes later, everyone’s smiling.
10 categories. 100 activities. Zero screens.
Every category is colour-coded so your child can pick their own — “Which one today?”

That’s under ₹1 per activity — cheaper than a single toy that gets ignored in a week.
A small note from us. We built Preschoolify because we believe children aged 3–8 learn best through play, with their hands, with their families. This book is our attempt to make that easy on a Tuesday evening when you’re tired and the phone is right there.
Every activity was chosen because it does three things at once: it’s fun for your child, it’s doable for you, and it quietly builds a real skill. Some will become weekly rituals. Others your child will make their own and turn into something you never imagined. Both are wins.

Quick answers
How do I get the ebook after paying?
Instantly. As soon as your payment goes through you’re taken to a download page, and a copy is also emailed to the address you enter at checkout. Check your spam/promotions folder if you don’t see it in 5 minutes.
Is it a printed book?
No — it’s a 66-page PDF ebook. Read it on your phone, tablet or laptop, or print the pages you love and stick them on the fridge.
Which ages is it for?
3 to 8 years. Every activity carries an age badge (3+, 4+ or 5+), and each one has a tip for making it easier or harder.
Do I need to buy any materials?
No. Every activity uses everyday things from an Indian home — dal, atta, katoris, dupattas, bindis, pillows, bottle caps, chalk. The most “exotic” item is a balloon.
Is it safe for my child?
All activities are designed to be done together with an adult, and the book includes a clear safety note. You know your child best — please supervise, especially with water, small objects and kitchen work.
Can I share it with my sister / friend?
The ebook is for your own family’s personal use. If a friend would love it, please send them this page — it’s ₹99 and it helps a small Indian business keep making things like this. Thank you!
