Digital playbooks for toddler moms
Get the worst hour of your day back.
Without a tablet. Without a meltdown. Without spending Sunday on Pinterest.
Why I made these
The Pinterest activity took 45 minutes to set up and held attention for 90 seconds.
Every mom of a toddler knows the feeling. You don't need more ideas. You have a thousand saved Pinterest pins. You need a system you can run on a tired Tuesday, with stuff you already have, that actually holds attention long enough to cook dinner or drink your coffee while it's hot.
That's what these playbooks are.

Real moms. Real dinner hours.
Hi, I'm Katie.
I made a decision before my kids were born to keep screens out of their lives. My toddler is 2.5 and has never used one. (She watches live sports with us. That's the whole list.)
I didn't get there from a vibe. I got there from reading. Dopamine Kids, The Collapse of Parenting, The Anxious Generation. Once you see what the research says about young brains and screens, you stop pretending it's neutral.
But here's the thing nobody tells you: keeping screens out is hard, and it's hard because of the apps, not because of you. Toddler attention is a billion-dollar product. The deck is stacked.
So I built what I needed. Activities, systems, scripts. All of it tested on my own toddler, all of it designed for the moments when "just let her watch something" is the easy answer. I made them for myself first. I'm sharing them because the moms in my DMs are fighting the same fight.
The mission of Screen Free Toddlers is simple: get kids off screens by giving their parents better options.
Common questions
What is Screen Free Toddlers?
A small library of digital playbooks for the hardest hours of toddler-mom life. Made by Katie, founder of Screen Free Toddlers and mom of a toddler. Every product is an instant-download PDF. No physical shipping, no subscription.
Are these the same activities you post on Instagram?
The IG account is where I film and time them live. The playbooks are the system around them. The framework, the script, the rhythm, the rotation strategy. Most of what's hard about toddler activities isn't the activity, it's knowing which one to pull out, when, and how to set it up without a Pinterest spiral.
Which one should I buy first?
If your hardest hour is dinner, start with the Meltdown Playbook ($17). If it's mornings, start with Morning Coffee ($17). If you want everything, the Bundle is $67 and saves you $41. If you've never bought from me, the TONIGHT guide is free.
What ages?
2 to 4. Each playbook calls out which ages each activity works best for.
Is this a subscription?
No. One-time purchase. Lifetime access. Free updates if I revise a guide. You'll never be auto-charged.
How is the freebie different from the paid Meltdown Playbook?
The free TONIGHT guide is a 3-step reset plan plus 4 setup-free activities and a decision tree, for one hard evening. The paid Meltdown Playbook is the full system for the entire dinner hour, every day: a 4-step framework, a 5-day setup plan, and 18 activities organized by mode.
Refunds?
30-day money-back guarantee on every product. If it doesn't help, email hello@screenfreetoddlers.com and I'll refund you.
