Ezlyn's Playland

19 gentle mini-games for little hands: shapes, colours, counting, puzzles and finger tracing. No ads, no text, nothing to fail. Made by a parent, for a toddler at home.

Ezlyn's Playland is a calm, ad-free playground of 19 learning games for toddlers. I made it for my daughter Ezlyn when she was two and a half, because every app we tried was full of ads, pop-ups and paywalls.

Every game is built for small hands that are still learning to drag and tap: • No text to read and nothing to fail. A wrong move just floats back home. • Big, glowing pieces that react the moment a finger touches them. • Gentle help: the next piece wiggles, and a little hand shows the move. • Each game starts easy and slowly gets harder, all by itself.

19 games: • Pip's Workshop: fit shapes into their holes • Snack Time: feed hungry animals • Colour Garden: match flowers by colour • Shadow Friends: match animals to their shadows • Peekaboo Farm: find the animals and take them home • Big & Little: sort by size and stack a ring tower • Picture Puzzles: 2 to 6 piece jigsaws • Dress Up Pip: dress for sunshine and rain • Tidy Time: put toys, clothes and food away • Counting Train: load passengers and make patterns • Makeup Salon: paint, polish and sparkle • Bath Time: scrub, rinse and dry a muddy pup • Bubble Pop: pop bubbles with a friendly whale • Colouring Book: tap to colour pictures • Drive the Road: trace roads with a finger (pre-writing) • Firefly Jar: count fireflies into a jar • Ladybug Spots: give the ladybug her spots • Cookie Count: match number cards to plates of cookies • Frog Hop: hop across the pond in number order

The counting games say the numbers out loud, so children hear "one, two, three" as they touch each thing.

For parents: • No ads, no in-app purchases, no accounts. • No data collected at all. The app works fully offline. • Settings live behind a parental gate.

Play together the first time: children under three learn best when a grown-up shows them.
