Children's Week 2026 Guide for World of Warcraft

Children's Week is a rather short 1-week event, during which you will spend your time traveling with various orphans in order to complete a variety of tasks for them.

Children's Week is a 1-week event (as its name suggests). This year, the event starts on April 27 and ends on May 4th.

There are no daily tasks, so the entire event can be completed in a single day, if you wish to do so.

You will find orphans eagerly awaiting Children's Week in the following cities:

• Stormwind/Orgrimmar
• Shattrath
• Northrend Dalaran
• Boralus/Dazar'Alor
• Dornogal

From there, you will have to travel through zones from each of the associated expansions. Doing the quests with a Mage friend, being a Mage, being an Engineer, or being a Mage Engineer, will considerably reduce the time you spend traveling; various city Hearthstone toys, Challenge Mode portals, and Mythic+ portals will also come in very handy!

For the Vanilla Children's Week Stormwind/Orgrimmar quest line, you need to be level 10.

For the Shattrath quest line, you need to be level 35.

For the Northrend quest line, you need to be level 35.

Orphans are NPCs that will accompany you while you are doing the quest lines. Each orphan will present you with an associated quest line; you will be able to summon and dismiss your orphan at will. They behave like non-combat pets, in the sense that they cannot be attacked or killed.

The Children's Week event rewards pets, weapon transmogs, and achievements.

Each orphan's quest line can only be done once a year per character. Upon the completion of your journey with a specific orphan, you are presented with a selection of different rewards, including pets, a bag of pet supplies, a bag of gold, or a Well-loved Figurine (used to purchase previous expansions' pets).

You will need to complete these quest lines on several characters to gather all the pet rewards, which are account bound. If you only complete the event on one character, gathering the rewards will take you several years, though this timeline has been sped up considerably by the 2025 addition of the Well-loved Figurine; previous years' pets can be purchased from any Children's Week vendor for 1 Well-loved Figurine each.

Unlike in previous expansions, you do not choose just one orphan in The War Within, but instead playing through the entire questline takes you through activities with all four Khaz Algar children: Skibbles, Destien, Threadis, and Kitzy. Completing the full questline allows you to pick one of the following pets: Helpful Workshop Bot, Argos, or Goggles.

You will begin the full questline by speaking with Ullna at Stoneshaper's Atrium (55.3, 27.1), in Dornogal. Pick up Children's Week in Dornogal to get started.

NOTE: Almost the entirety of each Khaz Algar orphan's questline requires them to be out and actively following you to trigger some kind of roleplay or objective completion. If you find you are having difficulty completing an objective, try dismissing your orphan and approaching the designated area again on foot, or run around the area with the orphan at your side. They can be finicky!

First, adventurers will meet Skibbles, a kobold child who wants to visit the biggest candle of all, Beledar!

Children's Week in Dornogal starts with little Skibbles. Accept Bold for a Kobold to receive the Khaz Algar Orphan Whistle. Skibbles' quest line requires you to take the courageous tyke to six different places throughout Hallowfall.

• Take Skibbles to See Beledar
  • You are looking for a bridge near Mereldar, at 41.2, 54.0.

  • Stand right on the edge of the bridge, at the wall, so Skibbles can climb up and get a good long look at Beledar.
• Tell Skibbles How Big You Think Beledar Is
  • While admiring Beledar, Skibbles wants to know how many candles tall you think the giant crystals is.
  • Choose your answer from the presented list.

  • Bring Skibbles into the city, past the commander's tent.
  • You are looking for Endiri Dawnsurge, standing at 41.5, 52.4.
  • Stand by while Skibbles learns a valuable lesson about becoming a Candlelighter.
• Help Skibbles Find a Candle
  • When Skibbles requests that you help find her a candle, it's time to move on to your final task.
  • The candle shop is run by Paige Ambleglow; her booth is north of the Reserve Training Grounds at 43.0, 52.7.

Next, adventurers will meet Destien, an Arathi child who has heard plenty of stories about bad Nerubians, but would like to meet the good ones.

Accept The Wondrous Weave to receive the Arathi Orphan Whistle. Destien wants to go down into the webbed depths of the Weaver's Lair in Azj-Kahet.

• Take Destien to the Weaver's Lair to meet the Widow
  • Destien can be very finicky when meeting Widow Arak'nai in her web at 55.4, 44.0. Dismount and summon him before you walk up to introduce him to the Widow.
  • When you see a roleplay line trigger in your chat, "Destien gasps as Widow Arak'nai comes into view,", Destien has seen the Widow and you can continue on with the quest.
• Speak to Widow Arak'nai
  • Widow Arak'nai will have Destien-specific dialogue once his quest has triggered here. Speak to her to introduce him.

• Speak to Silksinger Tvkass
  • When the roleplay event ends here, speak with Silksinger Tvkass to play a silk weaving minigame.
• Take Destien to Meet An Ascended
  • Just your luck! Orator Tx'itk will walk right by when you are ready to complete the portion of the quest. Simply wait while the conversation happens.
  • When Destien's chat with Orator Tx'itk ends, you can head back up to Widow Arak'nai.
• Take Destien and Return to Widow Arak'nai
  • When you arrive at Widow Arak'nai once again, with Destien in tow, you will trigger a brief roleplay with the Widow's assistant, Linny Leadfinger.
  • When this roleplay moment concludes, you are ready to finish up Destien's day!

When Destien has finished up with Linny Leadfinger and the Widow, The Wondrous Weave is complete! You can turn this quest in to Ullna, who is visiting the Weaver's Lair as well. She will have the next quest ready for you.

Next, adventurers will meet Threadis, a teeny Nerubian baby who can't even speak yet! Despite their age, Threadis is a budding engineer who wants to learn all there is to know about engineering from the inventive Goblins of Undermine.

  • Cross the street at Slam Central Station and go up the stairs at 30.0, 47.8. Another roleplay event will trigger when you reach the college.
• Discover a new opportunity for Threadis
  • You will not need to do anything else for Threadis now. Allow the roleplay to finish up, and your day with the intrepid little engineer is complete!

When Threadis has finished their first official visit to college, The Eager Engineer is complete! You can turn this quest in to Ullna, who is visiting Li'l Guys Orphanage in Undermine. She will have the final leg of the quest line ready for you.

Finally, adventurers will meet Kitzy the Undermine goblin. She really, REALLY wants to meet a stormrook, so prepare to spend some quality time with her at the Rookery in Dornogal.

Accept Recreation for Rooks to receive the Goblin Orphan Whistle. Kitzy has eight requests, but they all take place right in Dornogal.

• Take Kitzy to Go See the Stormrooks in Dornogal
  • Talk to Stormrider Torena at 27.3, 40.2 at the Rookery, Dornogal, to trigger the roleplay event.
• Find a suitable conductive material
  • Kitzy has decided the rooks are bored! Help her find a conductive material to fashion some toys for them.
  • Take her to 51.6, 50.7, to the location of some rocks she noticed previously.
• Speak to Belga
  • Find Belga at 50.6, 68.6. She is the flavored gems vendor, and probably knows a little something about rocks!
• Take Kitzy to the Smithing Hammer
  • Head inside the central crafting building to the massive hammer at 50.2, 63.0.
  • You will need to bring Kitzy in with you and trigger the roleplay with Forge Hand.
  • Finally, place the Storm Glass on the flat hammer bed and wait.
• Collect the Storm Glass Dust
  • When the hammer has done its job, collect the resulting dust.
• Find the Leatherworker in Dornogal
  • Kitzy wants some leather to finish up her Stormrook toy.
  • The Leatherworking Supplier, Krinn, is located at 54.6, 59.0.
  • Remember to have Kitzy with you to trigger the roleplay event before talking with Krinn.
• Return to the Rooks
  • Take Kitzy back to Stormrider Torena.
  • From here on out, the quest is just roleplay, no more running around, so you are free to relax.
• Kitzy Rides the Rook
  • Kitzy's quest line is complete when she bids the rooks goodbye.

Visions of Stormrooks dancing through her head, Kitzy's day is complete! You will turn in Recreation for Rooks to Ullna, of course, who is back in Dornogal where she started. Pick up A Brighter Tomorrow from her.

A Brighter Tomorrow is the final part of Khaz Algar Children's Week, and it all takes place right there in Dornogal, so no more travel is required of you. Each orphan has a visitor from somewhere along the way through their spectacular day with you; all the visitors are waiting to speak with you.

• Speak to the Mereldar Lamplighter
  • Talk to the Arathi Reserve first, and select the quest dialogue option.
• Speak to Linny Leadfinger
  • Linny is up next. Select the quest dialogue option.
• Speak to Professor Neltik
  • The Professor is next. Select the quest dialogue option.
• Speak to Stormrider Torena
  • Finally, speak to Stormrider Torena. Select the quest dialogue option.

When you have spoken with each visitor, A Brighter Tomorrow is complete. Turn back to Ullna. You will receive a thank-you note and a small gift from each orphan in the mail. You can now also choose one of the following rewards:

• Argos's Bell;
• Goggles's Favorite Chew-Wrench;
• Threadis's Workshop Bot 2.0;
• Arsenal: Children's Orgrimmar Guard Weapon Set;
• Arsenal: Children's Stormwind Guard Weapon Set;
• A Well-loved Figurine.

In 2026, the Children's Week vendors added a new item to their wares: the Nap Mat! Set this toy out when it's time for your midday snooze.

• Jepetto Joybuzz: Dornogal, 55.8, 26.6
• Jepetto Joybuzz: Silvermoon City, 51.2, 76.2

NOTE that Legs and Snail Shell (Scooter the Snail) are currently unavailable on vendors, and can only be obtained from completing their associated Children's Week questlines.

Aw, Isn't It Cute? simply requires you complete any of the Children's Week questlines. The achievement will be automatically rewarded once you select and learn the pet reward of your choice.

Bad Example requires you to eat the following food while your orphan is with you:

• Tigule and Foror's Strawberry Ice Cream
  • sold by Alowicious Czervik in Orgrimmar, in front of the Broken Tusk between the Auction House and the main gate;
  • sold by Emmithue Smails in Stormwind, between the Bank and the Auction House in the Trade District.
• Dalaran Brownie, Dalaran Doughnut, and Red Velvet Cupcake
  • sold by Aimee in Dalaran, outside the Bank of Dalaran.
• Lovely Cake Slice
  • Created by a Lovely Cake, sold by Aimee in Dalaran.
• Tasty Cupcake and Delicious Chocolate Cake, both made with Cooking.

Daily Chores simply requires you to complete five daily quests while your orphan is with you.

Note that your orphan only needs to be there when you turn in the quests, not when you are actually doing them.

Hail To The King, Baby simply requires you to kill King Ymiron in Utgarde Pinnacle while your orphan is with you.

Home Alone is very simple and requires you to use your Hearthstone while your orphan is with you.

As of 2022, School of Hard Knocks is no longer required for the For The Children meta-achievement.

School of Hard Knocks requires you to achieve various feats in Battlegrounds while your orphan is with you. There is a lot of controversy surrounding this achievement, as many players join Battlegrounds during Children's Week and only focus on completing School of Hard Knocks rather than trying to play the Battleground properly.

In any case, School of Hard Knocks is very hard to complete, as you need to achieve the following feats (while your orphan is with you):

• Capture the flag in Eye of the Storm;
• Assault a flag in Arathi Basin;
• Assault a tower in Alterac Valley;
• Return a fallen flag in Warsong Gulch.

The difficulty mostly comes from the number of players who will want to complete their objective at the same time as you, especially in Alterac Valley.

Veteran Nanny will require you to complete the Shattrath quest line with the same character in 3 different years, each time choosing a different pet reward.

Players can complete the following Trading Post activities tied to Children's Week for Trader's Tender when the event is up.
