Try this week with your kids
Noki suggests a first week of quests and rewards for your kids. You change what you like before you start.
Why it matters
Feeding a pet teaches responsibility and empathy: another living thing depends on them every day.
Steps for kids
- Wash your hands.
- Fill the scoop with food.
- Pour it into the bowl.
- Check the water bowl too.
- Tick the chart so everyone knows the pet ate.
