TongueTots
Hear your grandma's word — find the picture! TongueTots is for families who speak another language at home. A grown-up types the family's words for up to ten pictures (rice, water, grandma, moon…), then SAYS each word out loud while your little one taps the matching picture. Nothing is recorded: the voice your child hears is yours. No family words yet? Just say the word for each picture in your language. Works for any language, on-device, no account. Ages 3-5.
▶ Play it nowBuilt for sittings of about 10 minutes on the screen. That is our design budget, not a measurement.
