I had 200 saved activity ideas and two kids screaming at my feet.

A decade of product marketing at Meta, Lyft, and Coursera, and I still froze every afternoon when my boys needed something to do. So we built the tool I actually needed: one good idea, matched to my kid, in the time it takes to refill a sippy cup.

Frequently asked questions

The five things parents ask before downloading.

What ages is Puffling designed for?

Puffling is designed for children ages 0-6. Our activities are carefully tailored to each developmental stage, from tummy time for newborns to creative play for preschoolers. As your child grows, Puffling grows with them.

How much does Puffling cost?

Puffling is free to download! You can try out activities and see how it works, but saving your progress and tracking your child's development are reserved for Premium members. Premium is $9.99/month.

Do I need special supplies for the activities?

No! Many of our activities require no supplies at all. For those that do, we focus on common household items you likely already have. You can also filter for"no-prep" and"use what's at home" activities.

How does Puffling personalize activities?

Puffling uses AI to learn about your child's interests, your parenting goals, and what works for your family. The more you use it, the smarter it gets - remembering which activities were hits and suggesting similar ones.

Is my child's information secure?

Absolutely. We take privacy seriously, especially when it comes to children. All data is encrypted, we never sell your information, and we comply with COPPA regulations. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
