News Pebbles

Design a paper for your child

Pick what your child loves. This page writes instructions for your own AI chatbot (ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini). It searches today's news and writes the paper; this page checks it and turns it into a PDF laid out just like ours. It's free, and nothing you type leaves your browser.

Start from one of our papers:

1Who is it for?

Age sets the words, the explanations and the size of the type. It never lowers the standard of accuracy.

Child's first name (optional)

Large print — bigger type for early or struggling readers

2What kind of paper?

How should it feel?

What is it for?

3What are they into?

Each choice becomes its own story when there's room. Otherwise it appears in the briefs.

Countries and regions

Favourite team or player (optional)

4Learning sections

Your choices above set sensible ones. Add or remove any.

Open your chatbot

One click copies today's instructions and opens it. Paste them into the chat (Ctrl+V, or ⌘V on a Mac) and press Enter. If it asks, turn on web search.
Copy its reply and paste it here

When it has finished, use the copy button on its block of code (you don't need to read it). Pasting here makes your PDF straight away.

The paper is checked and built inside your browser, using the same engine as our papers. AI can still get things wrong, so skim it before you hand it over: every story lists its sources.
