ReelPals
Make a tiny film with real toys. Take a picture, move the toy a little, take another — the last picture shows faintly so you know where it was. Eight frames, press play, and the toy walks. Then: what did we make the viewer believe? No camera? Draw your frames instead. Ages 6–8.
▶ Play it nowBuilt for sittings of about 15 minutes on the screen. That is our design budget, not a measurement.
Meet your mentor
Every Spark & Anvil app has a friendly mentor character that demonstrates, asks, and patiently scaffolds learning.
