YumYum Words Mini

Give your child a happy first taste of words.

YumYum Words Mini is a vocabulary app for toddlers and preschoolers, built around the everyday things they already point at and ask about. Instead of plain flashcard drills, every category moves through four gentle stages — see it, match it, remember it, hear it — so your child meets each new word four different ways.

FIVE CATEGORIES, 74 WORDS

• Animals (19) — dog, pig, cow, rabbit, kangaroo, tiger • Fruits (18) — apple, banana, strawberry, watermelon, peach, grape • Colors (16) — red, yellow, blue, purple, pink • Insects (13) — bee, firefly, dragonfly, stag beetle • Shapes (8) — circle, square, triangle, star

FOUR STAGES OF PLAY

1. Word Learning • Hand-drawn cards for every word in all five categories. • Tap a card and the word is read aloud, so your child sees the picture and hears the name at the same time.

2. Pair Matching • Every card on the board has a twin. Your child hunts down the matching pairs, and hears the word again with each tap.

3. Memory Game • The cards flip face down, and your child has to remember where each one was — the quiet, focused kind of play kids ask to do one more time.

4. Listen and Select • The app says a word, and your child picks the picture that goes with it — the last stop in the cycle, and the one that ties the other three together.

WHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL

• Adjustable difficulty: switch between Normal and Many to change how many cards come up in a round. • Made for small hands: big buttons, uncluttered screens, and nothing to get lost in, so even young children can start a round on their own. • Fresh every time: refresh a category and the cards come back in a new order, so no two rounds feel quite the same. • Progress you can see: a dashboard tracks how far your child has come in each category, with badges along the way. • Seven languages: English, Korean, French, Japanese, Chinese, Spanish, and German — handy for bilingual and multilingual homes. • Light on space: a small download that won't crowd your device.

GREAT FOR

• Little ones just starting to talk and put names to things • Curious toddlers and preschoolers who want to know what everything is called • Families looking for screen time that feels calm and unhurried

The dashboard also lists the categories that come with the full version.
