DrumTots
Keep a steady beat with Thump the rabbit (ages 3–5): clap your hands, tap the table, or pat your knees, and Thump hops right on your beat. DrumTots listens for your clap and starts at YOUR speed, then keeps the beat with you. On-device — your clapping is never recorded or sent anywhere.
▶ Play it nowBuilt for sittings of about 10 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.

How DrumTots handles your kid's data
- ✅ All progress, settings, and AI-generated content stays on the device
- ✅ No analytics, no tracking, no third-party SDKs
- ✅ Free — no ads, no in-app purchases
- ✅ No personal information collected from children — in line with COPPA (updated by the 2026 FTC amendments)
- ✅ No chat with strangers — play-together rooms use a short code and preset emotes, never typed messages
