Make your child happier with Kaleido


Have you met Kaleido, our adorable wee character who wants to turn learning and travel into exciting adventures for children? Whether you’re booking family holidays or shaping little minds in the classroom, Kaleido’s Adventures wants to help make life brighter and better.

Kaleido’s unique appeal

Kaleido is a bit of a mystery. He’s bright, cheeky, and endlessly curious. Is he a dragon, a lizard, a sea creature, or perhaps a little alien? Every child we meet has a different idea, and that’s what makes him so engaging! But the beauty of that is that kids can just embrace him as he is and dive into their imaginations.

For them, he’s a kindred spirit—curious, playful, and always asking questions! Does this sound familiar? But he also has a more serious plan. He isn’t all about having fun; he also wants to build confidence in his new friends, inspiring them to ask questions and see the positives in the world around them. He wants to make learning an exciting journey for them.

Educational and entertaining content

Kaleido loves to learn and share his knowledge. Whether he’s picking up useful new words in different languages, counting his holiday money, or discovering fascinating facts, he can turn learning into an engaging journey for all children.

Next month, we’re going to start sharing bite-sized videos on our website and social media channels. Filmed in his ‘house’, they will be packed with fun and knowledge and inspire kids to recognise the abundance of good around them despite the negative news they may hear.

Our videos will cover a range of topics, including basic geography, cultural facts, and ways to feel calm and happy. For example, children will learn how to say some basic phrases in multiple languages, identify different countries on a map, and understand coping mechanisms for anxiety.

Events and collaborations

Wellness Hub at Glasgow Airport

On Sunday, August 11th, we held Kaleido’s ‘Wellness Hub’ at Glasgow Airport’s International Pier. He entertained and engaged lots of children, keeping them curious and anxiety-free while waiting for flights. The Hub was designed to make travel days more enjoyable and spark a love for exploring new places.

Staycation Scotland collaboration

We’re also super excited to collaborate with Staycation Scotland, who are offering a three-night stay in one of their amazing luxury camper vans as a competition prize for our social media followers! Kaleido had a blast exploring their van, Patsy, and your family could too! With the Scottish Highlands on our doorstep, the joy of adventures and travel doesn’t always mean going far away.

Check out Staycation Scotland and Kaleido’s Adventures’ Facebook and Instagram pages for a closer look at this amazing prize. A trip like this will offer the experience of exploring your own country and encourage a sense of well-being for your family close to home. Imagine setting off on a mini adventure, discovering hidden gems in your area, and creating some fantastic memories.

School visits in East Ayrshire

In September, we’re launching an exciting school programme in East Ayrshire. This is being designed to make learning fun and engaging through interactive experiences.

Children will have the opportunity to engage in literacy and numeracy-themed activities, explore geography and social studies, and dive into health and well-being topics. Creativity will be encouraged through art and storytelling, allowing kids to express themselves in various ways.

Inspiration from current events

With the Olympics in Paris recently capturing the world’s attention, it’s been a perfect time to celebrate the unity and diversity of our world and its global community. Watching athletes from different countries come together has been incredibly inspiring for children. Kaleido’s stories are all about fostering understanding and kindness, showing that while we might be different, we’re all connected by our shared human experiences.

Kaleido’s Adventures will continue to weave in real-world events, just like the Olympics, to help children connect with the broader world. Seeing athletes compete under their nations’ flags sparks curiosity about different countries and inspires children to learn more about the world. Global awareness can teach them so much and encourage empathy and understanding from a young age.

Kaleido’s message of positivity

We’re surrounded by so much negative news, and like it or not, our children soak it up. Kaleido will always look to highlight the positive aspects of our world. He will encourage children to be kind, curious, and open-hearted, and enrich their lives by embracing learning and diversity. His core message—look for the good in the world—is a lesson that will help children grow into compassionate, curious adults.

Most people around the world share the same fundamental desire: to be happy, safe, and loved. By highlighting these commonalities, we want Kaleido to teach children the importance of empathy and kindness. Because, by understanding and appreciating different people, we can all enjoy a happier and more connected life.

Kaleido will look for personal stories of kindness and bravery from around the world, showing children that even small acts of kindness can make a big, big difference. With a positive outlook, and by thinking of others, we can teach children to look outwards, not inwards, and to be more hopeful, happy, and open-hearted.
