Little Meadow

Two friends, eleven games, and a shelf each. Every game starts from a picture, so a child who can’t read yet can simply begin.

  • For children aged 2 to 9
  • 11 games on two shelves
  • Not out yet

How a visit goes

Short, and with an ending. Built to be played beside a grown-up, and fine on a small lap alone.

  1. Who’s playing?

    Only when a family has more than one child. One tap on their picture mark — no Start button for a two-year-old to hunt for.

  2. Pick a friend

    Play with Dawny for counting, matching and building on the farm, or Discover with Page for looking, tapping and exploring.

  3. Choose a game from their shelf

    Games open one after another. A game your child has opened stays open — nothing has to be earned back tomorrow.

  4. Play

    One clear task at a time, with big, forgiving targets. If something isn’t right, the guide says what to look for, out loud.

  5. A quiet celebration

    One to three stars, a short phrase and a chime for each. Then back to the shelf, or the same game again.

  6. And, if you’ve set one, a limit

    When the day’s time is used, your child finishes the game they’re in. Then their friend says goodnight, and the meadow rests until tomorrow.

Dawny’s shelf

Six farm games to count, match and build. Turn any of them over to read exactly what its stars notice.

When something isn’t right

Your child hears a soft, falling two-note sound — never a buzzer — and the guide says, aloud, what to look for. Nothing is taken away, no progress is lost, and nothing turns red.

Some games go further. In Color Meadow, after two looks elsewhere, the right treasure begins to glow. In Feed the Animals, the friend who likes that food is briefly outlined.

Dawny

Almost. Look for the ears, tail, and little feet.
