About us

It's great to have you here. At Grubenfuchs, everything revolves around education: supporting children in their learning, discovery, and growth, while making everyday life a bit easier for families and educators. We create ideas and little apps that bring joy, are easy to access, and turn an ordinary day into something special. Not perfect, but doable, always keeping an eye on what truly benefits children.

Over the years, a small family of applications has been created, founded by Carolin Heimsoth. Each one is designed for a specific situation in family or school life. The common thread remains the same: to support children in their learning, to help them learn how to learn, and to make everyday life easier for the people around them.

The Grubenfuchs app is our ad-free kids' app: a colorful collection of play, craft, and learning ideas that help children develop skills in a fun way, from creativity and motor skills to learning how to read. It combats boredom and encourages less screen time. Kids can even create personal stories from their experiences in the app while practicing their reading skills at the same time. The free ideas on this website are part of this, accessible to everyone and completely without registration.

With Timary, we offer a digital lesson planner designed by and for teachers in primary schools. You can easily create, manage, and modify the entire timetable digitally, including substitutions and a digital class book. It's clear, user-friendly, and free of unnecessary frills.

Elli is our free learning app for students from first to thirteenth grade. With digital flashcards, quizzes, and personalized study plans, the app supports kids and teenagers in their learning journey, helping them learn how to learn at their own pace, backed by artificial intelligence. Because learning should feel good.

At the beginning, we couldn't have imagined that this work would one day receive an innovation award. We are really happy about the recognition, but in the end, what matters most to us is that our ideas genuinely help in everyday life.

On this page, you will find over 1,000 free ideas for crafting, playing, exploring, and moving, along with lovingly designed coloring pages to print. Everything is carefully curated, sorted by age, duration, and location, and can be used without registration. Choose what fits best for you and get started right away.

Whether at home with your own kids, in a daycare group, or in the classroom: we want you to find exactly what you need here. Do you have a question, a request, or an idea that should be included? You can reach us anytime through the legal notice. We look forward to hearing from you.
