Start from your daily plan

Turn your lesson plans and routines into cartoons in minutes

Start from a quick note, a story from your setting or a full script. Each part becomes a cartoon scene.

Rough Idea

Just a note from your plan

Type a line from today's plan. The AI writes a short script, splits it into scenes and keeps the language simple enough for twos, threes and fours to follow.

Our class mascot Benji shows the children how to tidy up toys before snack time, step by step.

Most Popular

Your written setting story

Paste a social story or a short tale you already read at your setting. Each part becomes a scene, with your words narrated and your cast acting out every moment.

Benji hangs up his coat, finds his name peg and says good morning to Miss Rosa. "Today we are going to plant seeds!"

Full Script

A full routine script

Already written a script for settling in, fire drills or a seasonal show? Paste it in. Atlabs follows your scenes, lines and timing, so every step lands where you planned.

SCENE 2: Garden. BENJI (holding a watering can): "Little seeds need water every day!"

How It Works

From daily plan to classroom cartoon in 4 steps

Paste your idea, story, or script

Paste a routine, a story or a full script, such as arriving in the morning, washing hands or a trip to the farm.

STEP 1

Choose a style & aspect ratio

Pick a gentle style, like soft 3D cartoon or warm storybook, then choose 16:9 for the classroom screen or 9:16 for the parent app.

STEP 2

Lock characters, worlds, & props

Lock your centre mascot, your rooms and your garden, so every video looks like it came straight from your own setting.

STEP 3

Generate, refine, and publish

Generate the video, adjust any scene, then play it at circle time or send it to families the same day.

STEP 4

One cast for your whole centre

One mascot and setting for every room in your centre

Young children settle faster with familiar faces. Atlabs keeps your mascot, your rooms and your favourite toys the same in every video, so the baby room, the toddler room and the preschool room all share one friendly world.

Character consistency

Your centre mascot keeps the same face, outfit and voice in every scene and every video. Children who move up to a new room still see the same trusted friend leading their day, from drop-off to home time.

Location consistency

Your entrance, garden, nap room and messy play area keep the same look and lighting each time, so videos about routines feel just like the setting children walk into each morning.

Object and prop consistency

Name pegs, the snack table, the tidy-up box and the sand tray look the same in every scene, so children link each video to the real things they touch in their room.

Built-in AI story writer

Short on planning time? The AI writer turns "settling in after the holidays" or "why we wear sun hats" into a short, simple script your team can review and animate the same day.

Translate your video to 40+ languages

Share the same video in English, Polish, Urdu, Spanish and more. Translate a finished video in a few clicks for families who speak another language at home.

Background music that matches the mood

Royalty-free music fits each moment, gentle for nap time and lively for tidy-up. You can also add your setting's own hello song or goodbye song to every video.

Auto lip-sync

Your mascot's mouth moves in time with every word, so children can watch closely, copy key words and join in with songs and daily routines.

Ultra-realistic narration

Choose a warm, calm voice that speaks slowly for little ones, or record a key worker's voice, so children hear someone they know leading every single routine video.

Full scene-level editing control

Change any scene without starting again. Update the snack, swap the season, add a new child's name to the peg or regenerate one moment until the video feels right.

What Creators Say

What daycare and preschool teams say about their videos

We made a handwashing video with our own mascot and sink. Within a week the toddlers were singing the steps at the basin without any reminders. Parents asked for a copy to use at home.

Toddler Room Leader, Day Nursery, United Kingdom

We run three sites. Now every site uses the same cartoon owl for routines, transitions and parent updates, and children moving between rooms always see a friendly face they know.

Operations Manager, Nursery Group, Canada

I made a social story video for a child starting with us after a big move. Seeing our garden and our mascot before day one made settling in so much calmer for him and for his parents.
