Now What? - Little Explorers (Ages 4-7)

Big questions for little minds.

What would your child do if they got separated from you in a store? What if a friend wouldn’t share? What if they accidentally broke something?

Little Explorers turns everyday “what if?” moments into fun, meaningful conversations between kids and the grown-ups they trust.

Designed especially for children ages 4–7, this 90-card conversation game introduces age-appropriate situations involving safety, friendships, emotions, independence, and everyday life — then asks one simple question:

Now what?

There are no right or wrong answers. The goal is to get kids talking, thinking, imagining, and building confidence in how they might handle the world around them.

What’s Inside

Each Little Explorers deck includes 90 scenario cards across three fun categories:

🚨 Uh-Oh!
Unexpected moments, little emergencies, mistakes, and situations that help kids think about staying safe and solving problems.

💛 Friendship Fixes
Sharing, kindness, feelings, disagreements, boundaries, and the everyday challenges that come with being a good friend.

🌎 Big Adventures
New experiences, growing independence, confidence-building moments, and situations that encourage kids to explore what they might do next.

Stuck? We’ve Got You.

Not sure where the conversation should go?

Flip the card over.

Every scenario includes “Stuck?” prompts designed to help parents and kids explore the situation further, consider different possibilities, and keep the conversation going.

Why Families Love Now What?

• Gets kids talking about situations they may encounter in real life

• Builds confidence and problem-solving skills in a relaxed, pressure-free way

• Encourages conversations about safety, emotions, friendships, and independence

• Creates meaningful screen-free family time

How to Play

Pick a card. Read the scenario aloud. Ask:

“Now what?”

Then see where the conversation takes you.

Kids can answer seriously, creatively, or completely unexpectedly. Parents can ask follow-up questions, share their own thoughts, or use the prompts on the back if everyone gets stuck.

Because sometimes the best conversations start with a question you never thought to ask.
