Dabbli

A little screen time.
A lot to discover.

Dabbli gives children hands-on challenges to think, create, explore and learn—with something to show you afterwards.

How Dabbli works

The screen starts it.
Your child takes it further.

  1. Choose a challenge

    Each set contains four challenges: one to think, one to create, one to explore and one to learn.

  2. Try it in the real world

    With the materials ready, your child can build, draw, explore and test their ideas away from the screen.

  3. Show what happened

    They capture their work with photos or a short audio recording, without typing on the phone.

  4. Review when you’re ready

    You review the finished set and choose scores. Your child then sees the results and moves on to the next set.

Hints help them get started. Using one never reduces their points.

Growing up with AI

When answers come easily,
keep the questions coming.

AI is changing how we find information and create. Our response is to make room for children to ask why, try an idea, rethink it and explain what they noticed.

Knowing things matters. So does deciding what to do with that knowledge.

Our approach draws on ideas from active learning, play and thoughtful digital design.

Active learning

Learning research describes experiences that engage children’s thinking, connect with their lives and support interaction around a learning goal.

Play and planning

Harvard’s activity guide describes age-appropriate games and activities for practising skills such as attention, working memory and self-control.

Thoughtful digital experiences

The American Academy of Pediatrics considers media design, content, family context and what digital use may displace—not just screen minutes.

For parents

Their ideas.
A moment to share.

Review the finished set when you’re ready. You can look through the work together, ask what felt fun or difficult, and notice the effort your child made.

Points make progress visible. Your attention gives the work a place in family life.
