Letter sounds, counting to ten, sorting and first writing — spoken-aloud pre-K games your four-year-old can play alone. Free forever, no sign-up.
▶ Play Poppy's Letter Picnic — free🔒 Plays instantly in your browser · no download · nothing collected about your child
Four is the pre-K turning point. Children move from simply naming things to working with them: hearing that "mmm" is the sound at the start of moon, counting a row of objects and knowing the last number is how many, spotting what makes a pattern, and holding a crayon well enough to trace a shape. It is the year the building blocks of reading, writing and math quietly click into place.
These games meet a four-year-old right there. Poppy's Letter Picnic pairs each letter with its sound, which is the part that actually leads to reading; Bruno's Number Bakery counts buns into boxes and does the very first adding; Ooli's Star Sorter builds sorting and early logic; and Inky's Rainbow Letters guides the first careful pencil strokes. Big buttons, spoken instructions, no clock.
Made for parents who read the fine print. The Learning Garden shows zero ads, uses no trackers or analytics, and collects nothing about your child — and you don't have to take our word for it. See the proof and test it yourself →
Letter sounds (not just names), counting to ten with meaning, sorting and simple patterns, and first pencil control. The games above cover each one.

No. Everything is spoken aloud and the buttons are big and picture-based, so a pre-reader plays independently while still meeting letters and their sounds.
Yes — each game has built-in levels, so a four-year-old and a five-year-old get a different challenge from the same game.
