Four ways to play

Color Match

The gull names a color and your child taps it. The name also appears on screen, so the game works with the sound off. Get five right and a sticker arrives.

Balloons

Balloons drift up the screen and your child pops the ones that match. Three speeds, from a slow turtle to a fast rocket, so it grows with them.

Color In

Thirty-two coloring pages. Tap inside any shape to fill it, pinch to zoom in on the fiddly bits. Tapping a line does nothing, so the drawing never gets ruined.

Songs

Eight original color songs, from bouncy to sleepy. Written for this app, not licensed from a library.

For the grown-ups

Use your own voice

Record the color prompts yourself so your child hears you instead of a stranger. Recordings stay on your device and are never uploaded. This is the only reason the app ever asks for the microphone.

A gate they can't pass

Settings sit behind a spelled-out sum, which a preschooler cannot read or answer. There are no links out of the app and nothing to buy.

No internet needed

Everything is on the device already. It works on a plane, in the car, and in a waiting room with no signal.

Playable with the sound off

Every spoken cue has something to see. The color being asked for is printed on screen, the gull reacts, and taps confirm through touch.

What it costs

One price, once. There is no subscription, nothing to unlock, and no way for a child to spend money inside the app because there is nothing to buy.
