Are We Really Doing That Well? A Reflection on Wellbeing and Childhood Today

We live in a time when, objectively speaking, things have never been better: access to healthcare, education, technology, and material comfort is higher than ever before. And yet, more and more, we’re realizing that subjectively, something feels off. Adults sense it—but it's often even more visible in children.

A now-familiar image says it all: children sitting in brightly colored playgrounds, surrounded by abundance, yet looking distant or absorbed in screens, their eyes blank. It captures a painful paradox of our era: we have everything, yet something is missing.

Play as a Bridge Between Wellbeing and Connection

At our store, we believe that play isn’t just entertainment—it’s a powerful tool for connection, growth, and inner wellbeing. That’s exactly why we design and offer paper-and-pencil games: to bring imagination, dialogue, collaboration, and empathy back into children’s lives.

Drawing, storytelling, solving puzzles together—these simple, analog activities may seem small, but they have a big impact. They create moments where children look each other in the eye, spark their creativity, and truly connect—with others and themselves.

Why It Matters to Offer "Slow" Play

Digital games have their place, of course—but they can easily take all the space. Offering children slower, more human alternatives is an important act of care. It gives them space to experience boredom, imagination, real conversations, and genuine emotions.

In a world that never stops rushing, paper play is a quiet revolution.

In our store, you’ll find creative, printable games that are simple to offer and beautiful to share.
Because growing up well isn’t just about “having”—it’s about feeling and being together.
