UncookTots
A change-it-and-watch toy for ages 3–5: melt the ice, squash the ball, cook the egg — then ask, does it come back, or does it stay? Sort the changes into two calm bins. No-fail, on-device.
Built for sittings of about 10 minutes on the screen. That is our design budget, not a measurement.

Meet the cast
UncookTots's little friends gather at the kitchen table. Poppet changes a thing — melts, squashes, cooks — and the friends ask the big question together: does it come back, or does it stay?
Poppet
(Guide) changes a thing and asks — does it come back, or does it stay? (reversible vs irreversible)
Frost
Loves the things that come back — ice that melts and freezes again, a ball that springs back (reversible change)
Cinder
Watches the things that stay — a cooked egg, a popped balloon, toasted bread (irreversible change)
Sorty
Loves sorting each change into the right bin — comes back, or stays (classifying by reversibility)
