Illustrative example

## Start with what they do Start with what they do

Pick an everyday task they want to take on. See how it becomes a sequence, a guide for you and a hands-on practice.

A parent asks

> “She wants to pour her own water but it goes everywhere.”

Nookly could make

- Cards Pour-and-stop sequence cards
- Guide Setting up a small pitcher station
- Activity Dry-to-wet pouring practice

How Nookly works

## Made in five steps From child to finished thing, in five steps.

Step one

### First, Nookly gets to know the child.

Before anything is made, you tell Nookly who this child actually is — how they look, who lives in their house, the friends and pets they talk about, and what they are obsessed with this month. Everything Nookly creates later is built from this one profile.

Set up once. Reused in everything after.

For the adult

## Prepare a little Prepare a little. Let them do more.

The adult’s work is mostly quiet: set it up, show it once, step back.

Nookly helps with the preparing part. The practice belongs to your child, with real objects in their own hands.

Observe

Watch what they’re drawn to before planning.

Offer a choice

Two manageable options, not ten.

Model

Show it slowly, with few words.

Let them practice

Again and again, without rushing to fix.
