Thinking Skills for the AI Age

Activity books for ages 5–17

Printable activity books that build the human skills that matter when AI can do the rest: looking closely, reasoning, deciding, getting on with people and making things.

Your child does the thinking. No screens, no shortcuts. Learning needs a little friction, and every page gives them the good kind: a puzzle to work out, a choice to make, an idea to build.

How it works

Pencil and paper. No log-in, no app required.

  1. Print at home

    Every page prints on Letter or A4, in color or black and white. Print a page as often as you like for your own family.

  2. A grown-up reads aloud for ages 5–7

    First Thinkers has a short read-aloud line on every page. Older kids work on their own, then talk it over with you.

  3. Scan the QR for the companion app

    Each page has a QR code that opens it in the companion app: do the page on paper, mark it done and collect badges. Progress stays on your device. See the companion app.
