Questions parents ask
Which suit a three-year-old?
Balloon Pop, Spot the Difference and Shape Sorter — one tap, no reading, no timer.
Are any timed?
Spot the Difference and the catching games have a gentle clock; the rest let a child look as long as they like.
Is there anything to buy?
No — no pop-ups, no sign-up and nothing to buy.
Do they work on an iPad?
Yes. Every game runs in the browser with touch; on a computer the keyboard works too.
About these games
What they practise and where to go next

Looking carefully is the first thinking skill, and these games are all versions of it. For the youngest: Shape Sorter and Spot the Difference — spot it and tap it, no reading, no clock. Then the ones for readers: Word Search and Bingo.
A handful are catching rather than finding — Fruit Catcher and Balloon Pop — where the thing to spot is moving. All fine on a phone.
What they practise
- Visual attention — scanning and noticing
- Same, different and odd-one-out reasoning
- Shape and colour recognition
- Sorting things where they belong
- Word and number recognition, for readers
