TrailTots

Ages 3–5 · Gr K–K Level 1

A cozy “map your own walk” toy for ages 3–5: tap places to build a trail in order, say how you got to each one (straight, left, right, over, under), then Compass the fox walks it and calls every step out loud. Press “walk home” and discover that going back, left becomes right! Your map is a little code to print or share. No GPS, no camera; nothing leaves your device.
