About

CountSprouts

Features
Read full description

CountSprouts is a gentle "first counting" game made just for little ones (around age 3). A group of friendly objects appears. Your child taps each one and hears it counted aloud — "one… two… three…" — then picks the number that matches. Big buttons, spoken numbers, no reading required, happy sounds, and a cheerful celebration every time — no scores, no timers, no pressure. Just the joy of "how many?". LEARN COUNTING THE CONCRETE WAY • Tap real, countable objects one at a time (one-to-one correspondence). • Every tap says the number out loud, bridging from counting to the written numeral. • Then match the spoken count to the number — concrete to symbolic. MADE FOR LITTLE HANDS • Big, friendly objects and number buttons. • Get it wrong? No problem — a gentle nudge and they simply try again. Never a fail screen. • Counts stay small: start with counting to 5, then to 10. • Friendly picture themes to count: apples, ducks, stars, balloons. SAFE BY DESIGN • No ads. Ever. • No tracking, no analytics, no data collection. • No accounts and no internet required — it works completely offline. • Parent-only settings are tucked behind a parental gate. From the makers of PuzzleSprouts, SumSprouts and MatchSprouts. Made by a parent, for a little learner. Questions? Email donnguyen@snug.com
