Question 1

Who is DoodleBeez for?

Accepted Answer

DoodleBeez is for children aged 3 to 14 and the grown ups around them: parents, grandparents, caregivers and homeschooling families, in any country. A grown up creates one family account, and the kids enjoy the stories, drawing and games.

Question 2

What will my child learn?

Accepted Answer

Picture books teach kindness, feelings, friendship, money basics, science, healthy habits, Canada and cultures from around the world. Drawing guides build fine motor skills step by step, and the Language Corner introduces everyday words in 9 languages. My Learning Path teaches Math, Science and Reading from Kindergarten to Grade 8 with short lessons, practice games, mastery levels and tests, matched to Common Core and NGSS, so DoodleBeez works like Khan Academy for ages 3 to 14. Grade 6 to 8 covers ratios, percents, negative numbers, equations, slope, Pythagoras, probability, scientific notation, cells, atoms, forces, genetics, plate tectonics, clauses, figurative language and active and passive voice.

Question 3

How much is there to read and draw?

Accepted Answer

There are 510 illustrated picture books, each read aloud by Buzzby, and 148 step by step drawing guides, sorted by theme so it is easy to find something your child loves. The Free plan includes 5 selected books and the Doodle Pad. Premium Digital and Family Premium include everything.

Question 4

Can my child use DoodleBeez on their own?

Accepted Answer

Children aged 3 to 5 enjoy it most with a grown up beside them. From about age 6, most kids can tap Read it to me and follow the drawing steps on their own. DoodleBeez has no ads, chat or comments.

Question 5

How long should my child spend on it each day?

Accepted Answer

Short and happy works best. One picture book takes about 5 minutes, and a drawing guide about 10 to 15 minutes. Many families read one story at bedtime and draw one picture after school.

Question 6

Who makes the stories?

Accepted Answer

The ABIEdu Kids team creates every story, with gentle lessons and families and places from all over the world and a talk time and activity at the end of each book.

Question 7

Which age is each part for?

Accepted Answer

Everything is made for ages 3 to 14. Ages 3 to 5: read the storybooks together, tap Read it to me, and start with the Easy drawing guides. Ages 6 to 7: read along with Buzzby, answer the talk time questions, and move from Easy to Medium drawings. Ages 8 to 10: read on their own, try the activity at the end of each book, and enjoy the Medium and Tough drawing guides with more steps. Tap an age at the top of Books, Watch, Draw, Play or Animals to see what fits first, or set the age on each child's profile in My Account so every page opens at their level. Every age has books, drawing guides, animals, videos and games. On My Learning Path, the age on a child's profile sets the starting step, or take the placement quiz: Kindergarten skills like counting and letter sounds, Grade 1 to 2 like tens and ones and magic e, Grade 3 to 5 like times tables, fractions, decimals, angles, food chains and prefixes, and Grade 6 to 8 like ratios, equations, slope, Pythagoras, cells, genetics and clauses. Ages 11 to 14: Middle School Math, the Grade 6 to 8 science and grammar games, course tests and certificates.

Question 8

Is there a free plan?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Free plan includes the Doodle Pad and 5 selected picture books with Read it to me. No card is required and it does not expire. A parent, guardian or teacher creates the account for the whole family. Buzzby videos, jokes, wow facts and the Calm Corner are open to everyone.

Question 9

Question 11

How does the free month work?

Accepted Answer

Premium Digital and Family Premium start with one month free. You add a card with Stripe when you sign up, and nothing is charged during the free month. When it ends, your card is charged the monthly or yearly price you picked, and the plan renews automatically until you cancel. To pay nothing, cancel in My Account before the free month ends.

Question 12

How do I cancel?

Accepted Answer

Log in, open My Account and tap Cancel my plan, or email info@abiedu.com and we will cancel it for you. If you cancel during the free month you are not charged. If you cancel later, your plan stops renewing and you keep access until the end of the period you paid for. Refunds follow our Refund and Cancellation Policy.

Question 13

Which languages can kids learn?

Accepted Answer

The Language Corner teaches everyday words in French, Spanish, German, Mandarin, Hindi, Punjabi, Tamil, Japanese and Korean, with each word written in its own script and, where needed, in English letters to help with saying it. Kids pick which languages to show and tap the speaker button to hear each word spoken.

Question 14

Do you collect information about children?

Accepted Answer

Kids never need their own account and cannot post anything. A parent, guardian or teacher creates the account with their own name, email and password. Parents may choose to add a child's first name, and Family Premium parents may tell us about their child in a story or advisor request. We use this only to run your account and reply to you. When you are logged in, we also save which days DoodleBeez was used and which stories and activities were finished, so you can see your family's stars on the Progress page. Drawings are only saved by us if a parent turns on Our drawings with verified consent, as explained below. Our Privacy Policy explains the details.

Question 15

How do attendance stars and badges work?

Accepted Answer

Each day a child visits DoodleBeez on a signed in family account, they get an attendance star, and coming back keeps their streak going. Stars unlock badges in their sticker book, such as Three in a Row, Perfect Week, Two Week Star, Super Streak, Golden Bee and 100 Day Hero. Set up a profile for each child in My Account so every child collects their own.

Question 16

What is Our drawings?

Accepted Answer

Our drawings is a private place in a parent's account to keep the children's drawings, with the date and time each was drawn and which child drew it, so you can look back and see how they grow. When a child taps Save on the Doodle Pad, the drawing stays on your own device. Only a grown up, on the Our drawings page, can add it to your account. Family Premium families can also upload photos of paper drawings and turn any drawing into a coloring page of the child's own lines and a short picture book, with a character that grows chapter by chapter.

Question 17

How does parent consent work for Our drawings?

Accepted Answer

Nothing is saved until a parent gives verified consent in four steps: read what we keep and why, tick two boxes and type your full name as a signature; confirm by a link we email you; print, sign and upload a short consent form filled with your details; and our team checks it. We email you when it is approved, and again a day later to confirm and explain how to withdraw. We keep the signed form and a history of each step while your account is open, as a record of your consent.

Question 18

Who can see my children's drawings, and how do I delete them?

Accepted Answer

Only your account. Drawings are stored privately with our web host, turned into stories on DoodleBeez itself, and never shared, sold, sent to another company or used to train AI. You can delete one drawing, all of one child's drawings or everything, download everything as a zip, or withdraw consent at any time. Saved drawings are deleted automatically 24 months after a parent last signs in (we email you 30 and 7 days before), when consent is withdrawn, or when the account is closed.

Question 19

Will this change in future?

Accepted Answer

Our features, Terms of Use and Privacy Policy are subject to change. We update the date on those pages and email account holders about important changes. If a change affects what we collect from or about children, or how we use it, we ask parents for consent again first, and nothing new happens until they agree.

Question 20

Are there ads or chat?

Accepted Answer

No. DoodleBeez has no ads, no chat and no comments, so kids can explore safely.

Question 21

Can my child use it on a tablet?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The site works on phones, tablets and computers, and the Doodle Pad works with fingers or a stylus.

Question 22

How do I print a drawing page?

Accepted Answer

Open any drawing guide and tap the Print this page button. It prints neatly on letter or A4 paper.

Question 23

Is DoodleBeez free?

Accepted Answer

The Free plan is free, with no card required. Premium Digital and Family Premium are paid plans that start with one month free. After that they are from US$7.99 a month, and if you cancel in My Account before the free month ends you pay nothing.

Question 24

Can teachers use DoodleBeez in class?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and it is free for schools. Teachers in public, private and community schools and libraries apply on the Teachers page for a free classroom account: everything on DoodleBeez for up to 30 students for a full school year, no card, and teachers can renew it free for another 12 months each year. Teachers with a school district email are approved automatically. One teacher login works on every classroom iPad or computer at the same time, and each device remembers which student is playing.

Question 25

How does the Learning Path work?

Accepted Answer

My Learning Path is a Khan Academy style path in Math, Science and Reading, from Kindergarten to Grade 8. Each skill starts with a short Learn it lesson, then practice games that get harder or easier as your child answers. Three right in a row finishes a step. A placement quiz finds the right starting step, and a course test (15 questions, 80% to pass) shows what your child has learned.

Question 26

What are mastery levels, challenges and energy points?

Accepted Answer

Every skill moves through Attempted, Familiar, Proficient and Mastered, just like Khan Academy. Mastered means 10 right, 9 of the last 10, on at least 2 different days. Unit challenges mix 10 questions from recent skills. Children earn 10 energy points for every right answer, bonuses for each level reached and extra points for challenges.

Question 27

What happens when my child gets stuck?

Accepted Answer

Buzzby helps like a tutor. After one miss the Hint button pulses, after two misses Buzzby gives the hint out loud, and after three a Show me button reveals the answer and explains why, with the Learn it lesson. Each child can also tap Learn to see the lesson again at any time.

Question 28

Does DoodleBeez cover middle school?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Middle School Math has 30 skills for Grade 6 to 8: ratios, unit rates, percents, negative numbers, dividing fractions, decimals, expressions, one and two step equations, area, statistics, GCF and LCM, powers, proportions, integers, discounts and sales tax, circles, angle pairs, probability, scale drawings, slope, Pythagoras, scientific notation, roots, two equations, functions, transformations, 3D volume, exponent rules and inequalities, plus Grade 8 algebra and statistics: linear functions, linear word problems, two unknowns, simplifying expressions, multi step equations, proportional relationships, graph stories, quartiles and box plots, dot plots and histograms, mean absolute deviation, scatter plots, two way tables, sampling and compound probability.

Question 29

Which curriculum does DoodleBeez follow?

Accepted Answer

Every skill is matched to the Common Core State Standards for math and reading and to the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), Kindergarten to Grade 8. The Curriculum Map page lists every skill with its standard, the lesson card shows the standard code, and the weekly report lists the standards your child practiced.

Question 30

Is there a reading check after books?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every storybook ends with a 4 question Reading check: who the story is about, where it happens, what happened and what it is mostly about. Buzzby reads the questions aloud. Scores are saved for each child and show in the progress report and in My Class.

Question 31

What is My Class?

Accepted Answer

My Class (for teachers) or My Children (for parents) shows every learner at a glance: days this week, questions answered, mastery in Math, Science and Reading, reading check scores, what they are learning now and what they need help with. From the same page you can assign any skill to the whole class or one child, with an optional due date. Children see their tasks in the Kids Zone and on My Learning Path.

Question 32

What does the weekly parent email show?

Accepted Answer

Every week you get an email with everything each child read, watched, drew, played and learned, by name: books, videos, animals, games, language lessons, crafts, places explored and pages visited, plus questions answered, mastery, leveled up skills and skills to practice together. The same report, with a print button, is on My Learning Path.

Question 33

Can my child use it on their own iPad?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Log in once on each device with your family or teacher account, pick the child in the Kids Zone, and that device remembers the child. The Free and Premium Digital plans work on one device at a time, Family Premium on up to 3, and classroom accounts on up to 35.
