From one busy parent to another
Wanderwing started with a snail. My 10 year old daughter, found a snail in our front yard. She was obsessed with this snail for 2 solid weeks. She desperately needed to add this snail to our already long list of family pets which include a Boxer-Labrador mix, Hound mix, and 2 Albino Leopard Geckos. She searched up ‘how to care for snails.’ She created a slide deck on why she needed this snail as a pet. Just about every family conversation revolved around this snail.
Watching her use technology to build her case for support and explore her world is what gave me the inspiration for Wanderwing. In case you were still wondering, that snail did not become a member of the Carter family pet collection.
Wanderwing is the spot where curiosity is cool, questions are encouraged, and adventures are everywhere.
Here kids can:
Kids earn wanderwings when they wander in their yard, head to a playground, or go out on a trail. With a unique link for each child, kids can watch their collection grow.
No email addresses. Optional first name only. No tracking.
Pinky Promise: From One Family to Another
I built Wanderwing as a working mom of two girls who wanted something better than endless scrolling. I was looking for simple, playful games that spark curiosity—without collecting data or pulling kids deeper into screens. Wanderwing is my way of offering that to other families, with clear promises I’d want for my own kids.
Wanderwing isn’t about banning screens.
It’s about giving kids something better to do when screens are done.
