Frequently Asked Questions about Printables

Do I need special paper to print these cards?

Standard A4 or US Letter copy paper works wonderfully. For a longer-lasting bedside deck, 120-160gsm cardstock is recommended.

Can I use these cards with multiple children?

Yes! Siblings can take turns answering after the grown-up, or draw cards on alternating evenings.

Are the printable cards different from the online app?

They share the identical 7-night ritual and adult-first structure. The printable version offers an offline physical alternative when you prefer zero screens.
