The Hideout Experience Pack

A screen-free experience pack for kids ages 7–10 — built around asking better questions, listening for clues, and getting the right information before you act.

Jack has a clear picture in his head of the hideout he wants to build. But when he asks his dad for help, not all of that picture makes it out. His dad wants to help, Jack wants the help, and they still end up with the wrong thing — because they were never working from the same information.

Inside this printable experience, your child practices the same skill that would have saved Jack the trouble: asking better questions, narrowing down an answer instead of guessing, and using what they learn to build, test, and improve something real.

What's inside:

• Story Edition of The Hideout from the Enter the Hollow Series
• Parent welcome letter and quick-start guide
• Wish Detectives, a question-and-clue game with a printable game board
• Printable wish cards and detective clue sheets
• Build a Hideout Challenge, a real build with three tests: Fit, Wobble, and Move
• Master Builder certificate of completion

How it works:

Designed for parents and kids to do together. Two parts: first your child plays Wish Detectives to practice asking and listening, then they take that thinking into the Build a Hideout Challenge, building with whatever you have around the house. No screens. No complicated prep. Just print and begin.

Best for:

Ages 7–10, summer learning, homeschool enrichment, rainy days, family activities, screen-free afternoons, and kids who like having something real to build.

Format:

Instant digital download. PDF, US Letter size. Print at home or use on a tablet. Print at home in color or black and white. Most pages print single-sided; the wish cards print double-sided.

Built by The New Hollow Co — where the skills that matter get built by living them.
