CurlTots
Print the ribbon page. Curl one paper ribbon round a crayon, fold the other back and forth into a zigzag, and join them: one ribbon, two shapes. Then the phone shows the curl and the zigzag for ten seconds and goes to sleep. Ages 3–5, with a grown-up.
▶ Play it nowBuilt for sittings of about 10 minutes on the screen. That is our design budget, not a measurement.
