## What is Trace & Play?

Trace & Play helps young children learn to write their letters — one happy stroke at a time.

A big, friendly letter appears, with a faint guide to trace over. Your child draws right on the screen with a finger or Apple Pencil, and gets gentle, encouraging feedback when they follow the shape. Then it's on to the next letter.

Designed for little learners (ages 3–6):
• Trace all 26 uppercase letters, A to Z
• Smooth, natural letter shapes — including proper curves for C, O, S and friends
• Forgiving feedback tuned for small hands — no frustration, just encouragement
• Works in any orientation, on iPhone and iPad
• Finger or Apple Pencil
• No ads, no in-app purchases, no accounts, and no data collected
• Settings kept simple and out of little fingers' way

Learning to write, one letter at a time.
