Your Guardian.
Your SmartSlap.
Your place to begin.
A favorite Guardian. A chance to learn something new. A conversation that connects. Start with your SmartSlap and a grown-up, then follow the guide for your family, classroom, or community program.

Choose. Learn. Share.
You do not need a box of materials to begin. The SmartSlap is the starting point. You bring the learning to life.
Choose your Guardian.
Choose from the Guardian SmartSlaps available through your family, school, or participating program. With permission, place yours on a notebook, binder, folder, or another suitable personal item.
Learn what it means.
Open your Guardian's page with a grown-up. Explore its interests, talk about what it represents, and choose something you would like to learn or practice.
Share your discovery.
In a safe, adult-approved setting, tell someone what you learned and why you chose your Guardian. No sales pitch. No donation required. Just a conversation in your own words.
Try this together: “My Guardian is ___. I chose it because ___. Something I learned is ___.”

An everyday connection.
A notebook becomes a reminder of something you want to learn. A binder becomes the start of a conversation. Your Guardian goes beyond the screen when you connect it with the world around you.
Choose a suitable personal item with permission. Keep the SmartSlap's QR visible, and use your own words to explain why the Guardian matters to you.
Personal items are placement examples, not part of the SmartSlaps shipment. A scan or donation is never required to participate.

Exploring a Guardian online does not mean its physical SmartSlap is currently available. Selections depend on inventory and the participating program. Community-partner Guardians retain their dedicated outreach pathways.
SmartSlaps delivered.
Your confirmed Guardian SmartSlaps arrive together with brief printed starting instructions, a QR code, and a readable website address.
Protective envelopes replace the default presentation box and printed packet. Larger orders may require a larger mailer or ordinary shipping carton.
The guidance stays online.
Return here for the program explanation, audience guides, Guardian pages, and available learning resources.
The essential instructions are readable on the page. No printer, student login, or donation is required to begin.
Learning first. Support by choice.
Children learn, explain, and connect. Interested adults can use the established SmartSlap QR pathway to review support options and decide whether to contribute. The instruction QR on the delivery materials brings families and program leaders here.
Children do not sell products, handle money, or have to generate donations. Participation is meaningful even when nobody scans or gives.
See how community support works →A few questions before you begin?
We already requested a kit. Do we need to apply again?
No. Please do not submit a duplicate request just because the offer has a new name. We will contact previous requesters to explain the simpler delivery format and confirm any previously promised quantity before shipping.
Can my child choose a favorite Guardian?
Yes, from the eligible SmartSlaps available through your household, classroom, or participating program. Availability and quantities are confirmed during request review. Some Guardians are connected with dedicated community-partner outreach.
Do we have to print a guide or create an account?
No. Read the starting instructions and your audience guide online with a grown-up. Printing is optional. No student account is required for ordinary SmartSlaps participation.
What happens after we submit a request?
Requests are reviewed and fulfilled as funding and inventory allow. Submitting a form is not shipment approval. We confirm the appropriate quantity, Guardian availability, and delivery details before fulfillment.
What should we do when we need more SmartSlaps or help?
Contact SmartSlaps with your adult contact information and program or household details. Tell us what you need or what was unclear. Please do not include children's personal information.
Stick to Education.
Build a Generation.
We send the SmartSlaps. You help turn a child's curiosity into learning, conversation, and community connection.
