How to play

  1. Choose free exploration or a guided learning adventure.
  2. Tap a letter and its picture friends, listen to their names and follow the handwriting paths.
  3. Build catalog-backed words, find their pictures and revisit familiar skills at a calm pace.
  4. Return to your garden or continue from the saved activity in your next visit.

Features and difficulty

Twenty curated starter lessons in each of five languages use the existing verified picture-word catalog. Progress is separate for each named child and language. Whole-word listening and a picture-word book substitute safely for isolated sounds and narrated sentences whose reviewed recordings are not yet available. There are no lives, countdowns or leaderboards.

What you use

Letter recognition, letter formation, spelling and early written-word matching. Speech sounds and letter-sound connections are tracked separately from letter shapes.

Catalogue age guidance: 3+
Age labels are starting points from the game catalogue, not developmental assessments. A grown-up can help choose a comfortable activity.

More games to try

Marble Run Builder

Build a marble track on a three-dimensional workbench. Combine ramps, curves, supports and moving parts, then test whether the marble travels where you expected. The starter build gives you a track to inspect and change.

Code Studio

Give Bunny a sequence of instructions using visual blocks. Move, turn and collect carrots while working around obstacles. Watching the program run helps you see where your instructions need to change.

Little Piano

Explore a playable keyboard, make your own melody or listen to a piece from the songbook. Recording keeps the notes and their timing so you can hear your idea again. The piano is a music workshop, with no score to beat.
