Tiny Hands Play
Looking for a Tiny Fingers Alternative? A Keyboard Smash Game With No Ads
By Mauro Ferrante · Updated · 2 min read
If you searched for Tiny Fingers, you probably have a laptop and a toddler who wants it. TinyFingers (tinyfingers.net) is a popular keyboard smash toy, and lots of parents have filmed their children playing it. It is a good site. This page is for parents who want to know what else is out there, written by the dad who makes Kaboom Keys. Tiny Hands Play has no connection to TinyFingers.
What is the same
Both are free, run in the browser and need no account. Both go full screen so a child can press any key without closing your work, and both respond to every press with color and sound. Both work with a touchscreen as well as a keyboard. Both were started by a parent whose child kept grabbing the laptop.
What is different

Details are from each site's own pages as of October 2026, and either may change.
Ads. TinyFingers is paid for by advertising, which its privacy notice explains in detail, along with the consent choices it gives you. Tiny Hands Play has no ads at all: it is a gift from one parent to others, with no plan to make money from it. If you would rather your toddler's screen time came without an ad network in the background, that is the main difference.
Growing up. TinyFingers focuses on the smash moment and has a parent panel to soften motion and sound. Kaboom Keys is one of fifteen games on Tiny Hands Play, so when smashing gets old there is Chalk Art for drawing, Brick Builder for building and Melody Maker for a first piano, all on the same page, with nothing new to install.
Which should you pick?
Try both. They take seconds to open, and your child will tell you which one they prefer by which one they ask for again. If an ad-free page matters to you, or you want one place that grows from first smashes to first spelling, start with Kaboom Keys.
