Why Tiny Hands Play?
Tiny Hands Play started when my toddler discovered my computer keyboard and urgently needed to press every key. The first game I built, Kaboom Keys, was a safe way to let her mash the keyboard without wrecking my work.
Seeing how much she loved it, I went looking for other games we could play together, but I quickly realised that most were either paid, packed with ads, or just not quite right for my little one. So I created Tiny Hands Play: a collection of playful, educational games with no ads, no paywall, and no sign-up.
I hope it gives you a few minutes of peace. You can add it to your tablet/phone home screen for a full-screen experience that works even without internet (perfect for plane rides or car trips) or simply bookmark it in your browser.
If you'd like to help me keep it running, feel free to share it with other parents or leave a small tip.
