13 reasons why…Parents love?Plowns
Disclaimer: This blog has nothing to do with the TV series — 13 Reasons Why and neither is it anything like the series. No bullying, No depression, No deaths. I am here to spread happiness, and only that.
So , I will talk about something as positive as that pregnancy test you(or your wife) took which was the first step in your parenting journey. I will talk about Plowns, and why every parent loves us :)
Let’s start!
Reason No. 1 — Happiness!
Talk to 100 parents, or talk to 1000 & ask them what is the Number 1 thing they want for their child? Invariably, HAPPINESS would be the first thing to come out of their mouth, each and every time! Plowns is all about making kids happy, making them proud about who they are & giving them the confidence to take on the world! Which parent won’t love that!
No. 2 — The Together time!
We live in times where both parents & kids are immersed in their own devices playing their own games or using their own apps! Plowns breaks that barrier & helps parents & kids have fun together! While parents bask in pride looking at their child’s work being applauded by the world, the kids are smiling all day long with the love they get!
No. 3 — Every child is a superstar
There are almost 2 billion children of a school going age across the world. And in their own unique way, every child is amazing at something! While Tony is a champion at poetry, Nadia is a wow vocalist, Noam is amazing at pencil art. At Plowns, we celebrate the individuality in every child & believe in celebrating the best in every child & helping them become the best versions of themselves.
And if you don’t believe your child is the best, 1) You are wrong 2) You are probably Indian 3) Plowns is always happy to prove you wrong :)
No. 4— Memories saved forever
How many cards has your child made for you till now? 10? ok 50. More? Plowns is every child’s personal creative gallery. Never again will you have to feel sad for having lost that beautiful card or drawing or jewelry that your child made for you. Because Plowns has them saved forever!
No. 5 — Learning from the best
I am a sportsperson & in sports, they often say, you are as good as your teammates. Taking a cue from this, Plowns is the go to place for kids to learn from their peers from across the world. Let me paint a picture, Akash sitting in New Delhi shares a volcano model that Miranda sitting in San Francisco decides to try her hands at!
No. 6— Keep them going!
One thing every parent struggles with is the low attention span of their child, leading to a new interest everyday! While you want your child to discover their true love, your protective instincts are worried that will he/she ever stick to something?
Don’t you worry! We have you covered. While on one side, Plowns gives the option to help your child showcase their art skills as well as science, the encouragement the platform provides will make sure that your child stays interested in the things he/she loves & keeps getting better at it.
No. 7 — Only Love, no Hate!
“When you look into your mother’s eyes, you know that is the purest form of love you can find on this earth” said Mitch Albom & who can argue with that! So while we can’t compete with a mom’s love, we ensure that your child only gets love on Plowns. Anything remotely negative, OFF YOU GO!
No. 8 — The Badge Wall
We have established on point 3 that every child is the best, but how do we make them believe that! Don’t you worry mommy/daddy! The Badge Wall on Plowns is a series of achievements that any child can achieve irrespective of what anyone else is doing on the app e.g. Make your first upload & win the “Artist” Badge. 50 stars & you win the “Admired” badge.
No. 9— How about some fun contests & opportunity to win prizes every month?
And best of all, every child gets a digital certificate. How can a child’s effort not be appreciated?
No. 10— Daily Challenges & Things to learn
Learn a new word every day. Or take part in the daily caption challenge. No better way to improve their creative writing skills!
No. 11 — Only 5 year olds please.
“My child is 5 years old. I don’t care what anyone else in the world is doing, but 5 year olds!” Exactly! Just look at content which is relevant for your child’s age group!
No. 12 — Happy Kids, Kind Kids
Happiness is the key, that’s where we started. But no parent wants to raise kids who are brats and not kind to others? At Plowns, we understand our role in shaping the future of this world. Women Empowerment, Global warming, Bullying & what not? We try our best in making sure that our next generation is both aware & kind!

No. 13 — Why don’t you tell me?
I leave No. 13 to you. Checkout our app — bit.ly/plowns-app or the website www.plowns.com tell me why you love Plowns. And if you don’t for some reason, tell me that as well! A comment works, or write to me at [email protected]

6 年I wanted to check out your site but there seems to be no way to do that without creating an account. Should you not give parents the option to browse snd see if they like the concept and then create an account , instead of forcing everyone to ?
