Common questions
Is the sample really free, no email required?
Yes. Click the download button and the PDF opens — no signup form, no email gate, no account. The 6-card sample stays free permanently; the newsletter link nearby is optional, for parents who want a weekly activity idea in their inbox.
What age is the sample deck for?
The 6 cards cover all three age bands used across the full deck: Tiny (2–4), Junior (5–7), and Explorer (8–10) — one card apiece from two of the six activity categories, so you can see the format before deciding whether the full 60-card pack is worth it for your household.
How is this different from the free activity cards in your boredom jar blog post?
The blog post explains the psychology behind boredom jars and includes 60 activity cards as plain text you can retype or screenshot. This page gives you the same free sample as a formatted, print-ready PDF — cut lines, card backs, and layout included — ready to print and use today.
Do the cards have choking-hazard flags for younger kids?
The sample cards follow the same safety format as the full deck: any card involving small parts is flagged for adult supervision with children under 3. Full choking-hazard flagging on every under-3 card is a feature of the complete 60-card pack.
