Are you on a mission to cut down on your kids’ screen time? Maybe you’re brainstorming ways to keep them entertained on rainy days without resorting to tablets or TVs, or you’re dreaming of a screen-free summer filled with fun and creativity. I created this resource just for you!

My four-page guide is packed with exciting ideas and inspiration for screen-free activities that your kids will love. From learning new skills to drawing, inventing, sculpting, and outdoor art activities, this guide covers it all. I’ve included categories like sensory play, creative writing projects, brain-stretching challenges, body-moving activities, auditory adventures, and so much more.

The best part? Most of these activities are designed to spark your child’s imagination and let them explore independently, so you don’t have to directly supervise. Each category has multiple ideas to ignite creativity, keep them engaged, and help them discover new ways to learn and play—without a screen.

Suitable for hanging on the wall as a visual cue for non-screen activities (perfect size for standard sheet protectors or for laminating), or for hole-punching to insert in a binder.

This Expanded Version of the Screen-free guide includes bonus pages with options to begin on a screen. This is a hybrid option that gives flexibility with specific links to use for things like learning new art techniques, or accessing an audio story online. The basic idea remains the same: get kids off screens and actively learning and playing. But sometimes it helps to watch a tutorial before beginning the activity – especially for visual learners.The original Screen-free Guide does not include the bonus links.
