Little Play House is a calm digital sandbox for young children — a place to play, decide, and unwind. There are no fail states, no countdowns, no scores to lose, and nothing to buy. Just five friendly activities with big, easy buttons made for little hands. WHAT'S INSIDE Watermelon Fun — tap the giant watermelon and feel it thump, squish, and spray seeds. Pure cause and effect, as many times as they like. My House — an open room your child decorates their way. Drag the furniture anywhere, add pets, feed them, rearrange forever. Their room, their rules. It's saved exactly how they left it. Bubble Pop — bubbles drift up, little fingers pop them. That's it, and that's the point. **Shape Sort** — drag circle, square, triangle, and star onto matching outlines. Each match is spoken aloud; wrong spots simply spring home — nothing buzzes or fails. **Scribble Pad** — a giant free-drawing pad with chunky crayons, soft stamps, and a clear button. No templates, no scores — just mark-making. Calm Corner — a gentle bear breathes slowly under the stars, and your child breathes along. A quiet reset for big feelings. An optional, clearly separated Race mode lets older kids race the clock in Watermelon Fun and Bubble Pop — it only starts when they choose it, and free play is always the default. BUILT FOR PARENTS' PEACE OF MIND • 100% offline — the app has no internet features at all • No ads, no in-app purchases, no subscriptions • No tracking, no analytics, no accounts — we collect nothing • Grown-ups area locked behind a parental gate • Personalize the title with your child's name (set by a parent, stored only on your device) Designed for children who need a low-pressure space: oversized buttons, instant tactile feedback, and open-ended play that never punishes, rushes, or frustrates. ## Version history (last 4 releases) ### 1.0.3 — 2026-08-22 Little Play House grows — still calm, still offline, still no fail states. **Gentle sound** — bubbles pop, shapes snap, stars chime, and favorite actions now have soft, playful feedback. Grown-ups can control effects, spoken voice, and optional calm music separately. **My House expands** — Living room, Bedroom, and outdoor Garden, each with its own toys, pets, and saved layout. Switch rooms anytime. **My Creations** — save Scribble Pad drawings on this device and flip through them in a simple gallery. Grown-ups can clear them anytime. **Age band (Grown-Ups)** — choose 5–6, 7–8, or 9. Younger kids get a simpler Shape Sort and smaller house tray; older kids get more shapes and more toys. Nothing is locked away. **Five-round Shape Sort** — Shapes, Colors, Big & Small, Listen & Find, and a Mixed Challenge. Every new session brings fresh pieces and layouts, with a clear next round. **Path Play stages** — Trail, Gather, and Shortcut now grow through 10 stages with denser boards, more rocks and stars, and tighter routes. Younger age bands also grow the grid. Undo anytime; no timers or lives. ### 1.0.2 — 2026-07-29 What's New in 1.0.2 • My House: Living, Bedroom & Garden — each saves décor, paint, and day/night • My Creations: save drawings from Scribble Pad (local only) • Path Play: Trail, Gather & Shortcut strategy boards • Age band in Grown-Ups (5–6 / 7–8 / 9) for gentler or harder play Same Little Play House: no ads, no fail pressure, fully offline. ### 1.0.1 — 2026-07-17 Two brand-new open play activities join the play house: **Shape Sort** — drag circle, square, triangle, and star onto matching outlines. Each match is spoken aloud; wrong spots simply spring home — nothing buzzes or fails. **Scribble Pad** — a giant free-drawing pad with chunky crayons, soft stamps, and a clear button. No templates, no scores — just mark-making. Shape Sort and Scribble Pad replace Color Lab and Counting. Everything else you love is still here — calmer and friendlier than ever ### 1.0 — 2026-07-14 No release notes. ## More apps by TextWaves Inc - [TextWaves: Quotes & Wishes](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/textwaves-quotes-and-wishes/id6711358291) - [Match Point: Table Tennis](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/match-point-table-tennis/id6740566602) - [Spendly: Visual Expense Log](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/spendly-visual-expense-log/id6787908462) - [Cameo Waves: Visual Canvas](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/cameo-waves-visual-canvas/id6788017663) - [Tax Xtimator](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/tax-xtimator/id6789139415) - [Gulf End of Service](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/gulf-end-of-service/id6789172960) All apps by TextWaves Inc: https://appshunter.io/developer/1770106354 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
