# MotionValue children > Render MotionValue values as live text children. **Source:** [https://motion.svelte.page/docs/motion-value-children](https://motion.svelte.page/docs/motion-value-children) --- Motion elements can render a `MotionValue` as their live text content. This mirrors Motion's DOM behavior: the first render samples `children.get()`, then later MotionValue changes write to the element's `textContent`. In Svelte, slot content is compiled into a snippet, so the MotionValue is passed with the `children` prop: ```svelte ``` > Live example: [/examples/motion-value-children](https://motion.svelte.page/examples/motion-value-children) ## Usage Use this when the value itself should be the text node: progress readouts, scores, telemetry, prices, timers, or any small label that should update with a MotionValue without manual subscription code. ```svelte Run ``` ## Notes - This path is for a single `MotionValue` child. - Normal slot children still render as snippets. - To combine static text with a live value, place the text around a nested motion element: ```svelte Score ``` ## API Reference ### `children={motionValue}` `motionValue` must be a MotionValue whose current value is a `number` or `string`. Based on Motion's DOM `children` handling in `packages/framer-motion/src/render/dom/use-render.ts` and `use-motion-value-child.ts`.
