I want ice cream. What could I do?

“You’d like some ice cream. What are the different ways you could get some?”

What to do

  1. Ask the question and give your child time to suggest a first idea.
  2. Ask, “What else could you try?” Explore a few possibilities together.
  3. Let your child choose an option and talk about what they would need.

If getting started is tricky

Try a small prompt: “What could we find at home? Who could we ask? What could we make it from?” Then let your child take it from there.

To take it further

“What if there were no ice cream at all? What else could you invent that’s cold and sweet?”

Your child suggests options, compares them and plans a next step. You get to hear how they think.

Adapted from the WINGS activity “I want ice cream – what could I do?”.

You already have somewhere to start

  • In the app – daily activity ideas for your child’s age, with prompts for you.
  • On the website – free games, downloadable materials and articles for parents.

On the way home, over dinner or at the weekend – choose what fits your family today.

Time together, without all the planning

“I can’t think of anything to do together.”

Open an activity card. Your first question or step is already there.

“I’d rather not hand over my phone again.”

You read the prompt. Your child observes, moves, invents and tries things out.

“I want to offer more than the same few games.”

Seven activity types give you different topics to explore and different things to try.

“What if it’s too difficult?”

There are starting hints and ways to make the activity easier or take it further.

A daily selection that fits family life

  • Each day brings a selection of activities from different groups, so you have fresh ideas ready to try.
  • Try an activity, save it for tomorrow or swap it for another. Want more ideas? Get extra activities with a tap.
  • Many activities take a few minutes. Books and bigger family projects take longer – the card shows the time needed.
  • Five age groups help you find a starting point. Use the prompts to suit your child’s interests, mood and ability today.
  • One subscription for the family. Add profiles for your children and invite another adult, so you can take turns.

Seven activity types. Plenty of ways to explore.

Your child gets to move, notice things, plan, make and talk about what happened. Asking questions is just one way in.

  • Movement and coordination

    Copy a rhythm, practise balancing or change a movement on a signal.

  • Logic and thinking

    Find connections, keep a rule in mind, come up with options and explain a choice.

  • Conversation topics

    Share an opinion, hear another perspective and give reasons for an idea.

  • New knowledge

    Discover something new, spot it in everyday life and connect it with what you already know.

  • Question of the day

    Recall a moment that mattered and talk about feelings, wishes or plans.

  • Books and videos

    Talk about characters’ choices, what happens next and how the story could end differently.

  • Family projects

    Help choose an idea, plan it, share out the jobs and make it happen.

How an idea becomes a WINGS activity

Start with what the child will do

Compare, explain, invent, choose and try.

We begin with a specific action. A question, movement game or family project gives children a chance to suggest their own approach and see where it leads.

Find the right content and level

Ideas from books, professional resources and practical experience.

We choose a situation children can relate to, adjust the difficulty, review the wording and prepare prompts for you. There is always room for your child’s own ideas.

Make room for a real exchange

Help your child get started, then let them take the lead.

Give them time to think. Listen to their idea and share your own. If they get stuck, offer a small clue. If they want to keep going, ask another question or try a new twist.

WINGS was created by parents who wanted meaningful time with their children and less time spent searching for suitable activities.

We prepare the ideas. You make them your own.

An unexpected answer can help a grown-up see a familiar thing differently, too.

WINGS

The WINGS mobile app

Each child gets their own activity selection. Invite another adult so you can take turns and see what catches your child’s interest.

The WINGS mobile app
  • A separate profile and activity selection for each child.
  • Invite a partner or another trusted adult to your family.
  • A ready-made daily selection, with more activities available when you want them.

  • An activity history you can look back on.

Before you get started

How much time do we need each day?

Start with one short activity when it suits you. Many cards take a few minutes; reading and family projects take longer. The daily selection is a set of suggestions, so choose according to your time and your child’s mood and interest.

Do I have to invent activities or know all the answers?

Each card includes a question or activity, instructions and prompts. Help your child get started, listen and make it simpler if needed. You don’t need to know every answer beforehand: you can explore ideas and work things out together.

What if an activity doesn’t fit today?

Save it for tomorrow or swap it for another. If it is tricky, try a hint. If it feels easy, try the suggested extension. You can also get extra activities when your child wants to keep going.

What does the family subscription include?

Age-based activity selections, guidance for adults, book and video recommendations, family projects and an activity history. You can set up a profile for each child and invite another adult to your family.

How do payment and the free trial work?

Activities in the app require a monthly or annual family subscription. The App Store shows your local price and offer terms before you buy. Eligible new subscribers may receive a 14-day free trial. The subscription renews automatically until you cancel it in your Apple subscription settings. Games, available printables and articles on the website remain free.

How is the app different from the free website?

The app brings together a daily selection based on your child’s age and your family’s feedback. The website lets you try an activity, play games, download printables and read parenting articles for free. The app adds a selection for each child and prompts to help you use it.
