What one day looks like

1 December with Kvist

From the evening before to your child's reply. Shown here with Ida and her Bamse as an example — yours will have your child's name.

The evening before · just for youLay 5–7 paper footprints leading from the door

Kvist is writing an inventor's notebook, and your child becomes his assistant.

The plan arrives by email at 19 and in the grown-ups' area behind your code. With the print pack, also as a separate grown-up sheet — never in your child's letter.

In the morning

Ida knocks on the little door in the app. The door opens, Kvist peeks out and hands over an envelope.

Today's letter · read aloud by Kvist
Hello Ida! Kvist here — inventor, nisse and expert in secrets. I've moved in behind the little door with my toolbox. I've measured your house: it's exactly 1,000 nisse steps long. Perfect for experiments! Every day in December you'll get a task from me. The first one is easy: count my footprints. How many are there? Your inventor nisse, Kvist

What you set out last night becomes the morning's little discovery.

Tomorrow

Good morning, Ida! Did you count my footprints yesterday? I forgot to count them myself — and that's exactly why an inventor needs an assistant. Will you be mine? I've left a little inventor's notebook for you by the door. That's where we'll write down all our discoveries. And here's today's riddle — you'll get the answer tomorrow: What has a face and two hands but can't clap? Perhaps Bamse can help you think! Your inventor nisse, Kvist
