Shape Match & Learn turns first words into a game a small child can play alone. Every round is three simple steps: Match the shape — drag the emoji onto its turned-around shadow. Learn the word — tap the right word out of a few choices, said out loud. Keep it — the emoji comes to life and moves into your child's own world. 27 WORLDS, 540 WORDS Farm, Ocean, Sky, Picnic, Feelings, Safari, Space, Weather, Sports, Fantasy, Kitchen and more. Each world adds twenty new emoji friends to a scene your child fills up over time. The first seven worlds are free, in every language. THREE LANGUAGES TO LEARN IN English, Spanish and French — each with its own complete 540-word catalogue, said aloud in that language's voice. You choose the learning language in Settings, and the menus follow whichever language you prefer, chosen separately. An English-speaking parent can set their child to learn Spanish without a single menu changing. MADE FOR SMALL HANDS • No timers, no scores, no way to lose. Nothing to fail. • Big drag targets and forgiving hit areas. • Silhouettes, colouring-book outlines and peekaboo reveals keep shape-reading fresh across the worlds. • Sound and voice can each be switched off. • Works completely offline. No account, no sign-up. SAFE BY DESIGN No ads. No tracking. No analytics. Nothing leaves the device — progress lives on your iPad or iPhone and nowhere else.
