Why families start their day with it
Less screen time
A better first habit of the day
Swap morning cartoons and scrolling for something you do together. Read it from one screen at the table, or print it on a single double-sided A4 sheet.
A positive start
Start the day on a high
Each edition opens with a good-morning shout-out and finishes with a gratitude prompt, a kind act or a small challenge. Bad news never makes the front page.
Learning, sneakily
Curiosity before the school bell
A word of the day, history from this date, science facts and maths puzzles pitched at each child's age. The kids just think it's a game.
Kids feel seen
Their name in print
Your kids are the headline, with shout-outs, a star reporter of the day, birthday countdowns and sibling trivia all about them.
Calmer mornings
Everything you need to get out the door
Today's weather, what to wear, whether it's a school day, whose turn it is for which chore and what's on after school. All in one place.
Pick your paper's personality
Same great content, told your way. Here's how each one says good morning.
Fun & silly
“Rise and shine, Ava and Leo! Grab your breakfast, the news is in.”
Jokes, puns and high energy. Our favourite.
Warm & cosy
“Good morning, Ava and Leo. Here's a gentle start to your day.”
Gentle and calm, for slower mornings.
Curious & clever
“Good morning, curious minds Ava and Leo! What will you discover today?”
Big questions and "did you know?" energy.
A morning with the Herald

Puzzle race
Riddle, word scramble, a maths puzzle for each child. Answers are at the bottom, so no peeking.

One good thought
Everyone shares one thing they're grateful for before the last bite. Then out the door, raincoats on, because the paper said so.

Questions from parents
How much does it cost?+
Nothing. The Pyjama Edition is free, with no ads.
How long does setup take?+
About two minutes. Add your surname, city and kids' first names, then tick the sections you like or keep our recommended front page.
What ages is it for?+
It's best for roughly 4 to 12, but it works for the whole table. Add birthdates and the maths and spelling sections adjust to each child's age.
Isn't it still a screen?+
One shared screen at the table instead of one each, read together rather than scrolled alone. Want zero screens? Every edition has a print button that fits the whole paper on one double-sided A4 sheet, laid out like a real newspaper.
What do you store about my kids?+
Only first names and, if you choose, birthdates. No photos, no surnames for kids, no tracking. You can delete your paper and all its details in one click.
Can I change it later?+
Any time. Click "Edit my paper", enter your email and we'll send you a link. There are no passwords.
Can I change how it sounds?+
Yes. Pick a personality for your paper: Fun & silly, Warm & cosy or Curious & clever. It changes the greetings, prompts and sign-off, and you can switch whenever you like.
Tomorrow's breakfast could start with a headline.
Two minutes to set up. A fresh edition every morning after that.
