StirTots
Make a real snack together — no cooking needed! StirTots is a picture recipe card: wash hands with a 20-second timer, scoop three spoons, drop on the berries, stir. Every step shows who does it, and the grown-up always does the cutting. Your child practises first-then-next, counting, and safe hands, then plays "what comes next?". Everything is said aloud, no reading needed, no way to lose. On-device, no account. Ages 3-5.

Meet the cast
StirTots' kitchen friends each embody one move of MAKING A SNACK SAFELY - the crew IS the idea (audio-first for ages 3-5). Scoopsy counts out the spoonfuls. Stirry stirs and always goes in order. Washwell washes first and leaves the cutting to the grown-up. Mentor Nana Plum asks "what do we do first?" No cooking, no heat - every cutting step is the grown-up's.
