Why this exists

I have a toddler. Like most parents, I've been wary of screen time. But I also know that sometimes you need five minutes. The kettle's boiling, someone's at the door, or you just need to sit down for a second.

So I tried the kids' apps. Most of them were fine for a few weeks. Then the free games ran out. The good ones got locked behind a subscription. The app wanted £5 a month, or £40 a year, for a toddler game. When I didn't pay, my kid was stuck with the leftover games nobody wanted to play. So we'd download a new app, waste more storage, go through the same cycle again.

That got old fast. I wanted something simple: a game my kid could play for a few minutes, with no pressure to upgrade, no ads popping up mid-game, and no reason to keep downloading new apps every few months.

So I built one.

What's different

Toddler Games runs in a browser. There's nothing to download, nothing to install, nothing to update. You open the site, tap play, and your kid makes a pizza. It takes about five minutes. Then it's done.

The colours are soft on purpose. The sounds are gentle. There are no scores, no time limits, and no fail states. Your kid can't lose. They play at their own pace and the game celebrates when they finish.

The buttons that exit the game need a long press to work, so small fingers can't accidentally tap out. And there are no autoplay loops trying to pull them into another round.

What you won't find here

• No ads. Not now, not later.
• No subscriptions or in-app purchases.
• No accounts, no data collection, no cookies.
• No engagement tricks. No "just one more" loops.
• No bright, oversaturated colours or rapid-fire animations.

Who makes this

Toddler Games is made by Hannah, a digital consultant and parent who got fed up with the state of kids' apps. It's a passion project, built for families who want something calmer.

More games are coming. Same approach: calm, short, free, and no tricks.
