For kids

The kids' corner

A child who cannot read yet still plays — pictures, a voice that reads everything, no ads. Get one wrong and the owl shows how, until they get it right.

Pick something to play

Nursery · ages 3+

Tap, look, listen, big pieces.

Tiny WorldAges 3+Skills:Visual thinkingMathsLanguageColours, shapes, counting, letters, blending and adding in one game that tunes itself to your child: three right in a row and it steps up, two wrong and it steps down and shows the answer. Every fifth right answer adds a house, a tree or an animal to a world that is theirs — and it stays there.
Tiny BandAges 3+Skills:CreativityMemoryFocusFive coloured tiles are five notes that never clash: bash anything and it sounds like music, tap the owl and the animal band plays along. Then the owl plays a phrase and your child plays it back, and plays real songs phrase by phrase. Pick the flute and blow into the phone — louder as they blow harder, and nothing is recorded.
Little PuzzleAges 3+Skills:Spatial thinkingVisual thinkingProblem solvingThe picture is your family: pick a photo on the phone and it becomes a jigsaw, cut right there on the device and never uploaded. Four to twelve pieces, with a faint picture under the frame to start. Put one in the wrong place and it wobbles back; the second time the owl says where it goes — top corner, on the left — the way school says it. Print the same picture as a six-piece sheet to glue and cut.

Reception · ages 4+

Letters, counting, the keyboard, patterns, o'clock times.

Year 1 · ages 6+

Spelling, money, five-minute times, adding up to 20.

Years 2–4 · ages 7+

Quick reactions, self-control, sharp eyes, keeping the beat.

For parents

No ads and nothing to buy. Your child needs no account; their name (if you type it in for the games to use) and family photos stay on this device and go nowhere. Signed out, progress stays on your own device; signed in, a copy goes to your account so it survives a change of machine. Every game has a “Parents” panel showing what your child has learned and letting you set the difficulty.
