SpinTots
A bird on one side, a cage on the other. Spin the disc and the bird is in the cage! Try four spinning pictures, then print them, cut them out with a grown-up, tape one to a pencil and spin it for real. Plus beak cards: one cut and two folds make a card that talks. Ages 3–5.
▶ Play it nowBuilt for sittings of about 10 minutes on the screen. That is our design budget, not a measurement.

Meet the cast
SpinTots's friends make paper move. Whirl spins the discs, Joiny's eyes join two pictures into one, Crease folds paper that opens, and Beaky is a card that talks.
Whirl
(Hero and guide, a dragonfly) - spins a two-picture disc so fast that the pictures swap again and again
Joiny
A cat with patient eyes - when two pictures swap fast, your eyes join them into one
Crease
A paper mouse who folds - one cut and two folds make paper that pops out and moves
Beaky
A puffin beak card - fold the card shut and open it, and the beak opens to talk
