Something not working?

I can’t hear anythingTurn the volume up and tap Listen again. On an iPad or iPhone, check the silent switch or the sound setting too. Sound only starts after a tap, so nothing will play by itself.
Nothing happens when I tapTap once more, then try refreshing the page. If it still won’t work, close the page and open it again.
My stickers or lanterns have goneStickers, lanterns and explored places are saved on this device and in this browser only. Nothing is sent anywhere. Another device, a private browsing window, or clearing browsing data will start things fresh.
A sticker didn’t appearMost stickers arrive once everything in a picture hunt has been found. Open the Sticker Book to check: each sticker says where to look.

FOR PARENTS, CAREGIVERS AND GRANDPARENTS

What Collyvale is for.

Collyvale is a little world created by Brendan Martin, a father and grandfather, to help families explore everyday feelings through stories, characters, gentle activities and shared conversations.

Children can take part at their own pace. There are no scores, no deadlines and no pressure to finish anything. The stories and activities can be a gentle way to start a conversation.

The free printable help packs offer supportive ideas for experiences such as starting school, bedtime worries, fussy eating and potty training. They are not diagnoses, treatment or a substitute for professional advice.
