A place to
work things out.
Bubomi brings a board, some useful pictures and a curious Owl to the question in front of a child.
Start with the next useful step.
“I don’t get it” can mean many things. A number might need a picture. A word might need explaining. Sometimes a child needs a chance to move something and see what happens.
That’s where the board comes in. There’s space to write, look at the working and try the next part. A grown-up can sit alongside and talk it through.
Bubomi is currently used by one family. These samples let other families explore some of its ideas while wider access is being prepared.
Meet the Owl.
Round ears, curious eyes and a welcoming wave. The Owl has a job to do: help a child find their way around the board.
Make room for mistakes.
A wrong answer is something to look at together. What did you try? Where could you start again?
Give them time.
Let a child finish their thought, change their mind or return to the picture.
Keep a grown-up nearby.
The Owl belongs to the board. Your questions, encouragement and judgement still matter.
Choose something to explore together.
Share some counters, read a story or give a word a go.
