About ThenTots

Transitions are hard for small children — stopping one thing to start another. A first-then board makes the plan visible: "first we brush teeth, then we play." ThenTots is that board, in pictures a pre-reader can use: tap a picture for first, a picture for then, and there's the plan.

The one big idea

Seeing what's first and what's next. When the order is visible, waiting and switching get easier — and "then" is a promise you can point at. That's the whole of it.

What it's good for (and what we don't claim)

ThenTots is gentle support for transitions, waiting, and sequencing — it's the picture-schedule approach long used in early-childhood and occupational-therapy practice. It is not a lesson or a behaviour app, and we make no claim it changes behaviour or raises anything. It's an honest little board.

Safe by design

  • On your device. Nothing is saved off this device — no account, no sign-in, nothing sent anywhere.
  • No dark patterns. No streak, no score, no "how many" — nothing to keep up or unlock.
  • A "right now" tool. It shows this plan; change it any time, or Start over.
