TwistTots
One pipe cleaner, many jobs. The screen shows a shape to bend and a job to do with it, then goes dark: the stem is the game. Straighten it and make the next thing. Ages 3–5.

Meet the cast
TwistTots has two friends and one stem. Twizzle bends it into a shape that does a job, and Wendle straightens it out for the next one.
Twizzle
(Hero, a ferret) - bends one stem into a hook, a spring or a ring, because the shape decides the job
Wendle
A snail - straightens the stem slowly, so it is ready to become something new
