Giz Kids Foundation empowers a new generation of thinkers through the power of puppets.
Through puppet videos and books, we deliver learning that sparks creativity and inspires imagination. Today’s Generation Alpha kids learn by watching as much as by reading, so every lesson lives on the screen and on the page, helping kids grow up safe, smart and kind in a digital world.

What we do: books & puppet videos
Who we are. Giz Kids Foundation, Inc. is a Palm Beach Gardens–based 501(c)(3) nonprofit, established in 2016. We prepare children for life in the digital era through storytelling, puppetry, books, videos and interactive learning that inspire safe choices, confidence, kindness, creativity and real-world connection.
Puppet videos & podcasts. Through original Woof Chat Kids™ puppet videos, podcasts and digital content, we help children understand wellness, emotional resilience, financial literacy, digital citizenship, STEM and life skills in a fun, safe and encouraging way — for classrooms, hospitals, camps and families at home. Today’s Generation Alpha children are visual learners, so our videos carry every lesson just as powerfully as our books, on the screens kids already love.
Our books. This fall we’re launching two new books starring Max: Max and the Big Wave, about staying safe and kind online, and Max’s Money Quest, about saving, spending smart and spotting scams. Your gifts put these books into the hands of children in Title I schools across Palm Beach County.
Hospitals & wellness. Live puppet visits, comfort plush and calming videos support children facing hospital stays, procedures and treatment, including pediatric oncology journeys, created with child life specialists.
Where your gift goes
Your donation prints our books, produces our puppet videos, brings them into Title I classrooms with a read-aloud, and visits children in hospitals with puppets and comfort plush. In 2025, 77% of our spending went directly to programs.
