About My First Words
My First Words is a learning game for toddlers aged 2 to 4 that helps little ones learn to talk and name the things around them. It has 6 topics with big, clear pictures: animals, food, things that go, colors, shapes and body parts. Every picture is read out loud, with its word written large underneath.
In Look and learn, your child turns the pictures like a picture book, and every tap makes the picture bounce and say its name. In Find it, the game asks "Where is the cat?" and your child taps the right picture. It starts with just two pictures and grows to three and then four as your child gets them right. There's no timer and no losing: after a wrong tap, the right picture wiggles to show the way.
After 10 questions your child gets stars and a big cheer, and the stars are saved for each topic so you can see what they have learned. No reading is needed, it's free with no sign-up, and it works on phones, tablets and computers. Play together and say the words out loud: that's the best way to build a toddler's vocabulary.
