Games
Memory Snap
A calm memory-matching game where players flip tiles to find pairs. Multiple difficulty levels, three themes (animals, shapes, mixed), live timer, and gentle completion celebration.
Drawing Pad
A free-form drawing canvas. Pen, eraser, and shape tools, 9 preset colors plus a full color picker, undo support, and a clean white canvas with maximum screen space.
Glitter Fall
A calming snow globe where kids can add glitter, shake to swirl, and watch particles gently drift. Touch to interact; mobile motion sensor support with web fallback.
Bubble Pop
Soft bubbles float down the screen. Tap to pop and track a simple count. Keeps at least two bubbles on-screen for continuous calm fun.
Category Match
Drag the emoji into the correct category (Sky, Land, or Ocean). Gentle feedback and an endless stream of friendly icons make it great for sorting practice.
Keepy Uppy
Tap the balloon to keep it from falling. Includes an easy mode setting for younger children and soft, endless gameplay.
