PorePals
A tilt-the-tray diffusion toy for ages 6–8: only the shapes that fit the pore can squeeze through — then guess where they end up. Jostle and watch them spread out evenly. No-fail, on-device.

Meet the cast
PorePals's little friends watch the shaped pore in the middle of the tray. Poro tilts it, and the friends notice who can cross — only the shapes that fit — and where they all end up once things settle.
Poro
tilts the tray and asks — who can squeeze through the pore, and where do they end up? (selectivity + equilibrium)
Slip
The shapes that fit and cross back and forth through the pore (a matching shape passes)
Picket
The shapes that do not fit — they bounce off the pore and never cross (selectivity: only what matches passes)
Levo
Loves when the crossing shapes finally spread out evenly on both sides (equilibrium: the balanced split)
