How it works

  1. Tell us what you’ve got. Pick your child’s age, tap the supplies lying around (or type your own), and choose how much time you have.
  2. Set the mood. Add whatever your child is obsessed with right now, and say whether you want to join in or run the game from the couch.
  3. Spark. Get a ready-to-run activity in seconds, with setup, rules, and a short mission to read aloud.

What’s in every activity

Each spark gives you: a title your child will want to play, parent setup (what to put where), numbered game rules, a mission briefing to read aloud in your best announcer voice, a skill tip on what the game practises, and a reward badge to finish. Hit “Copy activity” to paste it into a note or message.

Built for how you actually play

  • Tired? Choose “Sit on couch” and your child does the moving while you call the shots as Game Master.
  • Want in? Choose “Active co-player” and the game is built for you to join.
  • Themes: add Dinosaurs, Bluey or whatever they’re into and it’s woven through the title, mission and rules.

Activities for toddlers, preschoolers and big kids

  • Toddlers (ages 1–3). Looking for activities for 1, 2 or 3 year olds? Toddler sparks are short, noisy and one step at a time: a one- or two-line script with sound effects, and two or three simple actions using things like pillows, boxes and pots.
  • Preschoolers (ages 4–6). Preschool activities work best with a story. These sparks give your child an imaginative mission, such as crossing a “lava” floor on blanket bridges, with three or four clear steps.
  • Big kids (7+). Older kids get a challenge with a goal, a time limit or a score to beat, so a rainy-day screen-free hour has something to aim at.

A note on safety

PlaySparks activities are ideas generated by an AI and are not individually reviewed. You know your child and your home best, so always supervise, check that supplies are safe for your child’s age (watch for small parts and choking hazards with under-3s), and skip or change anything that doesn’t feel right. Skill tips describe what a game can help practise; they are not therapy or professional advice.

Free to try, simple to unlock

Your first activity each day is free, with one free “try another”. Want more? Spend 1 credit to unlock unlimited activities for 24 hours. Credits are $4.99 for one or $19.99 for ten (about $2 each), and they work on other AllTools.Solutions tools that accept credits. No subscription, no account.

Frequently asked questions

What is PlaySparks?

PlaySparks is a free-to-try kids activity generator. You tell it your child’s age, what you have around the house and how much time you’ve got, and it creates a ready-to-run game with setup, rules and a mission to read aloud.

How much does PlaySparks cost?

Your first activity each day is free, including one free “try another”. After that, 1 credit unlocks unlimited activities for 24 hours. Credits cost $4.99 for one or $19.99 for ten (about $2 each), and they work on other AllTools.Solutions tools that accept credits too. There’s no subscription and no account.

Will my unlock work on my other devices?

Yes, if you use your credit code on the other device. The 24-hour unlock is stored against your code, so entering the same code on another phone or computer picks up the running unlock without using another credit. Your code is saved in the browser you bought from and a copy is emailed to the address you paid with, so keep it somewhere safe in case you clear your browser’s site data.

What ages is it for?

Three bands: toddlers (1-3, so ideas for 1, 2 and 3 year olds), preschoolers (4-6) and bigger kids (7+). The wording and complexity change with the age: toddler games are short and one-step, preschool games are imaginative missions, and 7+ games include goals, time limits or scoring.

Can I use it with things I already have at home?

Yes, that’s what it’s for. Tap the household items you have (boxes, pillows and blankets, painter’s tape, tupperware, crayons and paper, spoons and pots) or add your own, and the activity is built around them. It’s a good screen-free option for a rainy afternoon.

What supplies can I use?

Tap any of the six common household items listed, and add anything else in the “Other random items” box (up to 60 characters). The activity is built around what you list. If you pick nothing, it assumes pillows, blankets, paper and crayons.

What do the “sit on couch” and “active co-player” options do?

Couch mode builds the game so your child does the moving while you act as Game Master (calling out prompts, keeping score, judging). Active mode builds it for you to play alongside them.

What does the skill focus do?

It’s optional. Choose from words/speech, fine motor, gross motor/balance, problem solving or emotional calm, and the skill tip explains how the game can help practise it. These are play ideas, not therapy or professional advice.

Are the activities made by AI? Are they safe?

Yes, they’re generated by an AI model (Claude, by Anthropic) and aren’t individually reviewed. The tool is asked to keep activities safe and low-prep, but it can’t know your child or your home, so always supervise and use your own judgment, especially with young children and small parts.

Do you store information about my child?

No account is needed and you’re never asked for your child’s name. The selections you make (age range, supplies, theme and so on) are sent to the AI service (Anthropic) to create the activity, and PlaySparks doesn’t save them on our side.

Can I save or share an activity?

Yes. “Copy activity” copies the whole thing as plain text so you can paste it into a note or message.
