For grown-ups

The extras behind every Not Now book, and a few things we make for the rest of family life.

The Secret Bonus in every book

Near the back of each Not Now book, past the last picture, is a "You did it!" page with a magic code. Scan it with your phone camera and your child gets that book's bonus page: new mazes, pages to color again, a certificate to print, and a few gentle games starring the book's characters.

  • No sign-up, no ads, nothing to buy.
  • The bonus pages load no analytics and collect nothing from your child. We count only that a code was scanned, never who scanned it.
  • Links that leave the bonus page sit behind a quick grown-ups-only question.

Want a taste first? Free sample pages from 2 books are open to everyone.

Wobble Box

Toys to play with, not to be played by. Ten calm, open-ended toys for iPhone and iPad: bubbles to pop, marbles to run, goals to kick, songs to sing back.

  • No ads, no accounts, and the app collects no data.
  • Works offline, with a Kid Mode that keeps little hands inside the toy.
  • Free on the App Store. If Wobble Box ever adds extras, Not Now books will keep unlocking them free through the book's bonus page.

Pause: a "not now" for your own phone

Our books turn "not now" into a good moment for kids. Pause does the same for grown-ups: it puts one calm breath in front of the apps you choose, so picking up your phone is a decision instead of a reflex. Your data stays on your phone.

Grandkids Guide: where to go next

When the coloring is done and everyone needs to get out of the house: thousands of parks, museums, farms and rainy-day spots, picked for kids and the grown-ups who bring them, across Fairfield County, Westchester and Long Island.
