Before you start
- Set the volume firstSome games make sounds when pressed, and the picture books read the text aloud. Please have a grown-up set the volume first. For games you can mute, the list says how.
- Stop any time, carry on laterFilled-in colors, a marble run in progress and drawn pictures are kept in the browser on the device you used. After stopping for chores, open the game in the same browser on the same device to carry on.
- Use the ages as a guideNext to each game’s name in the list is the age it is made for.

Good to know

- What you make stays only on the deviceColors and things you make can’t be moved to another device.
- Works without a connectionOnce loaded, the games open as they are, even in airplane mode.
