Contributor Spotlight

Lauren Buckles, Yoga & Mindfulness Teacher for Youth and Adults

Laura provides Offline Kid Time with paper-based, thoughtful activities and exercises that encourage Mindful behavior.

Our habits, patterns and belief systems are greatly developed in childhood. Unlearning is much harder than learning. Let’s teach our children what we wished we learned when we were young: how to be compassionate, self-aware, and socially & emotionally conscious human beings.

Our Founding Story

  • How it all began...

    I love how my kids want to try everything! One day they want to be an artist, the next, a writer, the next a musician.  I was constantly looking for ways to encourage their learning, but once I ran out of things for them to do, their devices always turned on. They would start watching instead of doing. I found it hard to find one-stop-shop, paper-based activities that focused on their interests.  So, I started making them!  If my kids finished the activities by the end of the month, they got a prize which made the experience even more fun.  Word got around and in no time, I was creating the packets and giving prizes for the neighborhood. 

    I wanted to grow this great community to inspire more children to explore with confidence. That is how Offline Kid Time, Inc. began. Now, in addition to activity packets, I host events and activities for kids to try different creative outlets to see what they like!

    Our Team shares the same passion for our mission - giving kids more opportunities to explore and reach the stars!
