SockTots
A pile of socks: spotty, stripy and plain. Tap a sock, then tap its row. When the pile is sorted, which row is longest? Three piles, then sort real socks or toys into rows on the floor. 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.

SockTots's friends sort the washing. Dotsy loves spotty socks, Stripo loves stripy ones, Plainsy keeps the plain ones, and Twofer counts each row.
Dotsy
(Hero and guide, a spotty fox) - puts every spotty sock in the spotty row, one at a time
Stripo
A zebra - finds the stripy socks and lines them up in the stripy row
Plainsy
A lamb - keeps the plain socks together in their own row
Twofer
A crab who counts - counts each row and says which row is longest
