Nothing to buy — all ten numbers are open from the first tap.

The Their First Numbers pond home: a duck floating on a calm pond, surrounded by groups to count — one lantern, two fish, three tulips, four frogs, five red flowers, six sunflowers, seven leaves, eight acorns, nine apples and ten strawberries

The pond, number by number

One thing for every number.

Tap a group on the pond to meet its number: see the numeral, hear its name, and count the objects. Then explore it through play.

Not reciting “one, two, three” — actually knowing how many.

Six gentle activities

Six ways to understand a number.

Children make, count, match, add, recognize, and order each quantity. Nothing to read, no streaks or rewards to chase, and no pressure.

Calm by design

A pond by day.
A pond by night.

Your child taps the sun and it becomes a moon. Same pond, same numbers, softer light — a switch they can reach themselves.

  • Eight spoken languages — English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, German, Italian, Korean, and Russian
  • A warm female voice says every number and instruction, with all audio included offline
  • Made for pre‑readers — spoken prompts and visual cues help children know what to do
  • Settings and external links sit behind a two-second hold to help prevent accidental taps
  • Works fully offline — every activity and every voice is built in, for the car, the plane, or grandma’s house
