Activities

Eight ways to tap, twist and explore

House board

House board

A light switch, doorbell, padlock with a key, clock, zip, window blind, latch and spinner. Every one clicks, rings or lights up.

Electrician board

Electrician boardFull version

Drag real, wobbly cables between a battery, a switch, light bulbs, a propeller motor and a buzzer. Two bulbs in a row glow dimmer – just like in real life.

Car board

Car boardFull version

Turn the steering wheel, honk the horn, start the engine with the key, shift gears, blink the indicators and press the pedals.

Workshop board

Workshop boardFull version

Spin a train of gears, unscrew big screws, pull the lever and pump up the pressure gauge until it whistles.

Finger drawing

Finger drawing

10 bright colours, three brush sizes, a rainbow brush, an eraser and emoji stamps. One tap starts a fresh page.

Talking emoji writer

Talking emoji writer

A big keyboard of animals, food, vehicles and faces. Every emoji is said out loud in English or Hungarian.

Rolling balls

Rolling balls

Tilt the device and the balls roll and bounce with real physics. Grab and fling them. Sound and vibration can be switched off.

Family gallery

Family gallery

Pick photos of grandma, the dog or the family car. Add a name and, if you like, your own voice. A tap plays it back.

For parents

Hand it over without worrying

PIN-protected parent area

Hold the small gear for 3 seconds, then enter your PIN. Little fingers can't get in by accident.

Guided Access ready

Turn on Guided Access and your child can't leave the app. TapTot shows you how, step by step.

Play-time limit

Set 10 to 60 minutes. When time is up, a calm sleepy screen appears instead of a sudden stop.

You choose the activities

Hide anything you don't want to show yet, and change sound volume, vibration and screen-lock behaviour.

No ads, no tracking

No adverts, no analytics, no accounts, no links out of the app. It works completely offline.
