SaySoTots
You are the boss and your grown-up is the robot. Tap big picture tiles to make a plan: step, turn, pick up, put down. Your grown-up does exactly what the tiles say, silly mistakes too. If the teddy ends up in the wrong place, find the tile to change. Ages 3–5, with a grown-up.
▶ Play it nowBuilt for sittings of about 10 minutes on the screen. That is our design budget, not a measurement.

Meet the cast
SaySoTots's friends each are one tile of a plan. Clackle clacks the tiles into a row, Stomp only ever steps forward, Wheely turns a quarter turn, and Grabbit picks things up and puts them down.
Clackle
(Hero and guide, a woodpecker) - clacks the picture tiles into a row, one after another, because order matters
Stomp
A little elephant who only steps - one tile, one step forward, never more
Wheely
A tortoise who turns - one tile, one quarter turn the same way every time
Grabbit
A rabbit with busy paws - picks a thing up on one tile and puts it down on another
