Tiko First

Tiko First turns a routine into pictures a child can follow on their own. You build the steps β first the toilet, then brush teeth, then get dressed β and your child sees one big picture at a time, hears it spoken aloud, and taps to cross it off. The next step slides in and gets its own little celebration; finishing the whole routine gets a big one. Steps are crossed off in order, because that is the point: First tells a child what happens now and what comes next. Tapping ahead simply says that step out loud, it never skips the queue. Change your mind? The last tick can always be undone. - One big step at a time: picture, short title, spoken in your language - An ordered strip shows what is done and what is coming - Eight routines ready to use: morning, bedtime, going out, mealtime, bath time, tidy up, school day, and a first/then board to duplicate - Every routine and step is editable β your own words, your own pictures, including photos of your child's own shoes, bathroom or bag - Morning and bedtime start fresh each day; other routines pick up where they stopped, even after a force-quit - Pin the routine you are doing now and the app opens straight into it β perfect with Guided Access - Speaks English, Dutch, French, Spanish, German and Maltese - No microphone, no camera, no ads, no scores, no accounts β works offline after first use - Child mode keeps the editing out of small hands Tiko First is part of Tiko, a child-first universe of small, focused communication and learning tools.
