LookTots
I-spy inside real paintings from a museum — the Great Wave, the Harvesters, a wheat field by Van Gogh, a horse fair. Find the boat, the sleeping farmer, the swirly cloud. Four finds and the picture is done, with a printable “we found” card. Nothing to read; tap to hear. Ages 3–5.
Built 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, praises, and patiently scaffolds learning. On-device AI personalizes the mentor's responses to your kid's progress — never connecting to a server, never collecting data.

What's inside
