Can a Bear and a Cat Collaborate?

The Catbears is an app that guides children to create a fun project together, while teaching them how to work as a team and handle real-life social situations effectively.

What Are Team Skills

In each Catbears lesson, we learn a skill that helps us create together. For example – how to manage anger, how to trust a friend, and why you can’t pay for a banana with a banana! During the creative activity, we practice the skill we’ve learned, and gradually it becomes part of our habits – instead of reacting automatically, we learn to pause, think, and use the shared language we’ve developed.

Creative Projects for Kids Using Household Materials

The app is packed with creative ideas for kids, suitable for preschool and elementary ages. The activities work well at home, in school, or in kindergartens. Just open and start creating.

The Catbears activity pages for print

Printable Activity Pages

The projects include printable activity pages. You can print them on any home printer, A4 size, black and white.

Balancing Screen Time with Social Skills

Communication and empathy are built through real-world interaction, which is why The Catbears app blends digital elements in a smart and balanced way. Kids watch short videos that inspire action and enrich the learning experience, but most of the work happens off-screen, through real interaction and teamwork.

The Catbears - a group of children working together on a creative project while developing their social and emotional skills

The Catbears app is an interactive creativity camp for kids—at home. Kids create following step-by-step videos, print activity pages, use materials they have at home, and along the way learn how to handle emotions and everyday situations.

The app is designed for children ages 3 to 12—from preschool to elementary school. Kids aged 10 and up can create on their own, while younger kids enjoy guidance and help from an adult. This time—spent with parents or grandparents—becomes a true quality moment that strengthens family bonds through shared creation, imagination, and laughter. It's especially great for kids who love to create, imagine, and learn through hands-on experience—building, cutting, gluing, and problem-solving, alone or in a group.

The app was born out of the desire to offer kids an alternative to the violence and cruelty we see today, in Israel and around the world. Against the backdrop of wars and hardships children are exposed to, the goal was to show them there’s another way—a way of cooperation, creativity, and joint problem-solving. Through group creative activities, kids learn core values of acceptance, empathy, listening, and understanding—values that will help them as adults create a better reality.

Kids face different stages of creative projects—just like children’s craft activities—with clear instructions and tutorial videos. But it doesn’t stop there: along the way, they learn how to talk, collaborate, and work as a team.

Through the app, kids don’t just create—they also develop emotional intelligence. They learn how to handle frustration, listen to others, be better friends, and accept different opinions respectfully. It’s much more than just crafts—it’s a life tool!

The app lets kids tackle creative challenges like building projects from simple materials, all while working together in a group. They learn how to share ideas, listen to different opinions, and collaborate—all while having fun and enjoying a creative experience.

Yes! Parents can track how their kids progress through the projects and see what social skills they’ve developed. You also get updates on the different stages, so you always know what’s happening!

Unlike other apps that focus mainly on fun, Catbears not only entertains kids but also helps them develop important social skills like communication, teamwork, and conflict resolution—all while doing easy, fun crafts.

Absolutely! There’s a free trial version where you can try out children’s craft activities and see how it fits your child before making a decision. It’s always smart to try first, right?

Whenever there’s a conflict, Catbears guides kids on how to manage it constructively, how to listen to different opinions, and how to reach a shared solution—all while working on a creative project.

Yes, but not all the time. The app requires an internet connection to download tutorial videos and update stages, but some content can also be downloaded and used offline.
