WhereTots
On, under, in, behind, next to, between — little words that are hard to learn from a screen. WhereTots turns them into a game you play with a real toy: the phone says "Put your teddy UNDER a chair!", your child does it, and you tap "We did it". Then a quick picture check: which picture looks like what you did? Everything is said aloud (no reading needed), there is no way to lose, and the phone never watches or listens — no camera, no microphone. On-device, no account. Ages 3-5.
▶ Play it nowScreen-light: about 5 minutes on the screen. Most of the play happens off it, with real things and real people.
Meet your mentor
Every Spark & Anvil app has a friendly mentor character that demonstrates, asks, and patiently scaffolds learning.

Meet the cast
WhereTots' where-friends each embody POSITION WORDS - the crew IS the idea (audio-first for ages 3-5). Toppa climbs ON top and hops UNDER. Tuckaway tucks things IN and peeks from BEHIND. Sidlebee stands NEXT TO a friend and squeezes BETWEEN two. Mentor Pawsley the puppy asks "where is it now?" and lets the child show, not tell - with a real toy, while a grown-up watches (no camera, no mic).
