Squirrel bath
The squirrel played in the mud and got all dirty! Listen to which body part to wash and rub your finger over it until it's nice and clean.
- 4
Grow, little tree!
Hold the button and watch the little tree grow. When it's the size we asked for, big or small, let go.
4 and 5 year olds
More pieces that look alike, asking for attention and memory.

Pebble tower
The pebble swings above the tower. Tap Drop when it's right in the middle. Count the pebbles until the tower has the number asked for.

Shadow size
Look at the pumpkin's shadow. Hold the button to make the pumpkin grow and let go when it's the same size as the shadow.

Fill to the line
Hold the button to pour water into the jar and let go at the right time. Sometimes there's a line; sometimes you'll hear how much to fill: half or full.

Foggy window
It got cold and the den's window fogged up! Rub your finger on the glass until you can see outside and count how many squirrels came to play.
5 and 6 year olds
Bigger challenges and the party that reviews everything the child learned.

Pattern tower
The tower's pebbles follow a color pattern. Figure out which color comes next, pick that color and drop the pebble right in the middle of the tower.
- 10
Catch the answer
Do the math in your head or on your fingers. Then catch only the answer's number with the basket: let the other numbers fall past.
- 11
Letters in the mud
It rained in the woods and the letter stones got covered in mud. Scrub each stone to see the letter and tap the letter that starts the word.
- 12
Woods party
Region party
The squirrel stored all the nuts and invited friends to an autumn party! Let's remember what you learned in the woods.
