The MAF Kids Club is an exciting multi-media, animal adventure program for 3 - 8 year-olds. It explores the wonderful world of the animal kingdom, it teaches strong family values, it's educational---and it's highly entertaining as well. We call it the MAF Kids' Club because kids gain a deeper respect for how all living things are connected and how we are part of one big "club." Children have always enjoyed belonging to a club, but this is a new kind of children's club...with books to read, DVDs to enjoy, games to play, puzzles to solve, and adventures to share. In short, it's the kind of club every child dreams of...where the fun never stops. This club is a place where a child will be entertained for days to come. So join the club today!
The My Animal Family program will eventually have 24 different animal family book and DVD packages. Each package features a baby animal in its animal family environment. You will get to know each animal family because the baby animal's story is told in the book and DVD. Every baby animal has its own home on this website too, built to reflect its real-world habitat.
Our creative team is working hard to complete the entire 24 volume My Animal Family program. So check back often as we continue to add new packages every month.
Each book contains a secret code card that is unique to that book. It will open the habitat of the baby animal, which stars in the book and DVD, on the MAF Kids Club website. So every time you purchase a different My Animal Family book/DVD package, you will be able to open and explore another "Habitat" on the website. When you enter the Habitat, you will find puzzles, games, activities, facts, and age-leveled challenges all designed to be fun and fascinating, plus you will build your reasoning, memory, and coordination as well as fundamental math and reading-readiness skills.

Although the MAF Kids' Club is designed for children 3 to 8 years old, the Club welcomes children of all ages-even adults.
Membership begins with the purchase of a My Animal Family book/DVD package. The beautifully illustrated storybooks and captivating videos in the program star a baby animal in a realistic, family adventure. The animal families include elephants, lions, chimpanzees, polar bears, dolphins, and many more! After you purchase a My Animal Family book and DVD package, you'll find a secret code card on the inside front cover. This is your official membership card. Welcome aboard!
You can access a Habitat by entering in your unique secret code number found on the inside front cover of the My Animal Family book. Logging in is kid-friendly and when each new book's passcode is keyed in, another Habitat opens up for more inviting games and activities to play.
After logging in, under your explorer there is a button labeled "My Account." Clicking on this will allow you to change all of the details associated with your account. This includes your email address, but changing your email address will not change your username.
No, you must first buy a My Animal Family book/DVD package. This will give you six months of free access to the MAF Kids' Club website. Before you join, however, you can take advantage of our free trial offer by clicking on the Free Trial button and signing up.
Instead of financing our club operations through advertising as most websites do, the MAF Kids' Club relies solely on book and DVD sales to finance this website. This allows us to be 100 percent ad free.

On the registration page, enter your user name, password, and secret code number. Fill in the information requested in the boxes to complete your registration.
Each time you visit the MAF website, just click on "member login" and enter your email and the password you picked when you first registered.
Once you enter a Habitat, you will first want to dress up your personal "explorer" and get him or her ready to walk around inside the Habitat. You will choose a face, eyes, nose, a hair style as well as pick clothes, hats, shoes and other accessories from your closet. Next, you will also want to choose "gear" from your Gear Closet to pack into your backpack. However, you will need to play games in the Habitat first to earn enough points to buy gear in the Gear Shop. Once you have dressed your explorer and packed your backpack, you are ready to embark on your adventure.
As you walk around the Habitat, you will discover several games and activities to play. You may choose to stop and play the games, thus earning points, or you many continue to explore the Habitat. You will find games that will involve the gear in your backpack to complete it. There are plenty of age-leveled games to play, so get busy.
When you enter a Habitat, you will begin by walking around and exploring the environment with your personalized "explorer." When you come across a game, you can choose to play that game by "clicking" on it. When you play a game, you earn game points. These points can be traded for rope, binoculars, compasses, maps, shovels, tents, and other fun accessories to take on your adventures. With every game completed successfully, a voice will congratulate you on your success and will cheer you on as you improve. Clothes, shoes, hats, and other basic accessories are supplied to all club members.
As you earn points, they will be totaled and kept safely in your ledger, which is located on your Welcome page. When you are in the Habitat, you may use your points at any time to buy gear items in the Gear Shop. Once you buy the gear items, they will be automatically transferred to your Gear Closet.
There are 24 My Animal Family book/DVD packages, which means, there are 24 Habitats for you to explore and to play games in. Each Habitat offers new games, activities and "gear" that you can buy in the Gear Shop with the points you earn.
