TinyThinks™

Thoughtful Screen Time antidote for Intentional Parenting

Build thinkers, not scrollers
with beautiful story led activity books for ages 3–7

Screen-time overstimulation makes it harder for children to settle, focus, and regulate.

Tiny Thinks offers a calm, screen-free alternative that supports real cognitive growth whenever you want — through age-appropriate thinking activities designed to be done slowly, on paper.

Designed as a gentle thinking system that grows with your child across ages 3–7 — helping them slow down, focus, and think independently.

Each workbook is designed for a specific age band, building core thinking skills step by step — without overstimulation.

My 3 and 6 yr olds both love to do these worbooks. Its almost like its playtime for them. Infact, I regularly go to my favourite cafe with my 3 yr old, and we sit there and she enjoys doing this workbook with her apple juice while I get my matcha!

Sarah Thompson

Mom to 6Y old

Finally something screen-free that still feels like it prepares them for the future. She [my daughter] was proud to show me her finished pages and her favourite details. We have the books collection box already.

Georgina Hart

Mom to 4Y old

It feels like games on page! She [my daughter] really liked the characters, especially to see spiders and owls [Halloween Drop].

Kate Smith

Mom to 3.5Y old

She did the book yesterday and today and she really liked it, In fact today she wanted to do something else but then saw the book and specifically asked for it. We are collecting the tree at the end, of each edition the sapling grows!

Kamisi

Mom to 4Y old

What great books! We love them at home. We do have to hide them, as we want to use them at specific moments such as flights.

What are screen-free activities for kids ages 3–7?

Screen-free activities that actually hold attention at this age follow clear structure, short wins, and gentle challenge. Examples:

  • Simple logic puzzles (matching, sorting, sequencing)

  • Story-led scenes that invite kids to notice details

  • Step-by-step drawing or tracing

  • Find-and-circle games

  • Purposeful stickers (pattern completion, scenes)

  • Quiet sensory tasks like threading or stacking

Kids stay calmer when activities have a defined start and finish rather than open-ended “entertainment.”

This is the core design principle behind Tiny Thinks.

Calm dinners come from structured, low-arousal activities that give the child something to focus on without overstimulating them. What works:

  • Story-led pages with objects to find

  • Simple tracing or drawing challenges

  • Gentle puzzles they can do independently

  • Sticker scenes with a clear goal

Pair with a predictable “quiet start cue”:

“I have your calm page ready.”

Most children settle once the routine is consistent for 3–4 days.

Thinking skills grow fastest when children engage with:

  • Pattern-recognition games and Sequencing

  • Step-by-step problem solving

  • Story-led observation exercises

  • Short puzzles that require focus, not speed

This lays the foundation for attention, working memory, and early reasoning.

It’s exactly what Tiny Thinks workbooks are designed to strengthen.

Children focus better when the activity gives them structure, short wins, and a clear finish. The strongest screen-free focus builders for ages 3–7 are:

  • Step-by-step tasks (tracing, matching, sequencing)

  • Story-led scenes that invite them to notice details

  • Simple logic puzzles that gently stretch attention

  • Calm sensory activities like threading, stacking, or sorting

  • Draw-and-find tasks with a defined goal

  • Short 10–20 minute “quiet challenges” instead of open-ended activities

Kids stay calmer when the activity tells their brain “start → do → finish,” instead of endless stimulation.

This is the core design principle behind Tiny Thinks — calm, structured tasks that naturally build focus without screens.
