Every kind of activity, in one place.

Keep the little moments

They're only this small for a while.

When you finish an activity, rate how it went and jot down what they said. Banaluna saves it to Moments, so you can look back on everything you made together.

Questions parents ask

What ages is Banaluna for?

Kids from 3 to 12. Every activity has an age range, and your feed only shows ideas that fit the children you've told Banaluna about.

Do I need to buy special supplies?

Rarely. 20 activities need nothing at all, and most use things you already have: paper, markers, socks, a cup, baking soda. You can filter by what you have at hand, and every idea shows its supply list before you start.

Is there a free version?

No. Banaluna is one simple subscription with every activity included, and no ads.

Is it safe for kids to use?

Banaluna is made for grown-ups to use with their kids. Each activity flags anything that needs care, like scissors, heat, small parts or allergens, and says when an adult should help.

What devices does it work on?

Banaluna is on iPhone, from the App Store, and on Android phones, from Google Play.
