Real Life. Kid-Sized.

Printable Screen Free Adventures They'll Actually Enjoy!

The New Hollow Co makes printable experience packs for kids that feel like an adventure, not another packet to keep them busy.

Kids step into a story, chase a goal, hit a problem, and figure out what to do next. Sometimes the plan works. Sometimes it gets messy. Sometimes real life shows up right in their face.

Parents get something screen-free and useful. Kids get a mission worth doing. The life skill sinks in before they realize they were learning one and sticks because they had to live it.

Why Parents Like It

Built for real life. No complicated prep. No giant supply list. No pretending your kid wants another worksheet. Just story-driven activities that help kids practice useful things: earning, planning, asking, helping, deciding, and trying again.

What Families Are Saying

The Hollow is already making its way into real homes, real kitchens, real backyards, and real summer days.

  • “This gave us something screen-free to do that didn’t feel forced. My kids were into the story first, and the activity actually kept them busy.”— Mom of two, ages 7 & 9

  • “I loved that it snuck in real-life skills without feeling like a lesson. My child was practicing planning and decision-making without even realizing it.”

  • “My younger child needed help, but my older child could take the idea and run with it. That made it easier to use with both kids.” — Homeschool parent, ages 6 and 9

  • “This is exactly the kind of thing I want for summer — simple, creative, and better than another random craft I have to manage.” — Summer Pack Tester

  • “We tried the starter activity and it made me want the full pack.” — Parent of a busy 10 year old

This Week: Rivet's Three Finds

Take a walk and let your kid collect three small things Rivet would probably steal — a rock, a feather, a bottle cap, a weird stick, anything that catches their eye. Back at home, have them choose the best find and explain why. That’s the whole challenge: notice, choose, and make the case.
