Flatstone Grove vs Commando Joe's

Welcome to Flatstone Grove, a gentle world of bees, nature, stories and creative play for children aged 3–6. Join Marci, Dani, Emma and the bees of Flatstone Grove as they explore the woods, help their friends and discover new adventures together. With more than 25 interactive stories and activities, children can colour, explore, solve simple puzzles, help the bees and learn about the natural world at their own pace. FLY WITH THE BEES Bees are an important part of Flatstone Grove. Children can meet different bee characters, help Marci clean up litter, paint and play with bees, and discover their little corner of the Grove. STORIES TO EXPLORE TOGETHER Follow gentle interactive stories featuring the characters of Flatstone Grove. They are designed for young children to enjoy independently or together with a parent or caregiver. Some are lively adventures. Others, like Dani's Quiet Afternoon, are deliberately slower and calmer, making them ideal for quieter moments or bedtime. COLOUR, DRAW AND CREATE Flatstone Grove includes relaxing colouring and painting activities where children can experiment freely with colour and create their own pictures. There are no scores to chase and no pressure to get things right. Just space to play and be creative. PLAY WITH NATURE Explore the Grove through simple activities inspired by animals and the outdoors. Children can: • Help bee children clean up litter • Explore mazes • Count sheep • Discover woodland characters • Play nature-inspired games • Follow stories through the changing seasons A CALMER KIND OF CHILDREN'S APP Flatstone Grove has been designed to feel gentle rather than frantic. The music, artwork and gameplay create a calm environment where children can explore without constant rewards, timers or overstimulation. MADE FOR CHILDREN. DESIGNED WITH PARENTS IN MIND. Flatstone Grove is ad-free and designed for preschool children aged 3–6. There are no third-party adverts interrupting play, and the activities are designed to encourage creativity, curiosity and shared play between children and their families. THE GROVE CHANGES WITH THE SEASONS Flatstone Grove grows throughout the year, with seasonal changes, stories, activities and outfits appearing during celebrations including Halloween and Christmas. Come and meet the bees, explore the Grove and discover a gentler world of stories, creativity and nature.
