Play today
A short round of three activities, ready at a tap. Handy when you don’t want to choose.
My garden
Every child has a garden of their own. Trying different activities unlocks more animals and plants to choose from. There are no points, no daily obligations and nothing is lost after a break.
Say your word
An optional, experimental writing activity: your child says one word, confirms it, and then writes it with the letter guides. The microphone is off until a parent turns it on, and speech is recognised on the device only.
Spoken instructions everywhere
Every task is read aloud in the chosen language and can be replayed with the speaker button.
