How it works
One page, one fact, one adventure
Coloring, scanning and watching connect into a single activity. Your child finishes a page and sees the lesson come to life.
Color the page
Big, clear 3D-style drawings with room to color. Each page has a blank back, so markers won't ruin the next picture.
Scan the code
The fun fact box at the bottom of every page has a QR code. Point a phone camera at it.
Watch Arlo
A short video opens where Arlo teaches the exact fact your child just colored, in under 30 seconds.
