No fails. No ads. No catch. Just their first puzzles. Their First Puzzles is a calm animal puzzle app for toddlers and preschoolers, ages 2–5. Explore ten little worlds together, help friendly creatures find their homes, and watch each world fill with life. BRING HOME, BUILD & SORT Match creatures to their shapes or reunite babies with their grown-ups. Build animals piece by piece. Sort who belongs where. Larger Build puzzles in every world add more to discover, with playful animal reactions when the last piece fits. Familiar puzzles stay ready for another go, and sorting layouts change on repeat visits. A GENTLE START A piece that misses simply drifts back. There are no timers, scores, buzzers, red Xs, or losing. If your child pauses, a gentle helping hand shows the way. Play at their pace, with nothing to read to solve a puzzle. TEN ANIMAL WORLDS Visit Ocean, Forest, Desert, Savanna, Jungle, Farm, Pets, Garden, Pond, and Long Ago. Meet friendly animals, enjoy soft sounds, and return to favourite puzzles as often as you like. Simpler puzzles remain alongside the richer Builds, so there is room to start small and grow in confidence.
