Before children read, they need two things clicking together: recognising letters by sight, and hearing the first sound a word makes — the bridge phonics is built on. Poppy's Letter Picnic works on both. Poppy names a letter or says a sound, and your child finds the matching letter to pack into the basket, hearing the letter and its sound every single time.
That constant see-it-and-hear-it pairing is how the alphabet moves from memorised song to useful tool. It's spoken aloud throughout, so a 4-year-old who knows no letters yet can start today, and the three levels move from letter names toward blending first sounds as they're ready.
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 →

Both. Early levels focus on recognising and naming letters; later ones move toward the first sounds words make, which is the start of phonics.
Ages 4–6 — pre-K through kindergarten. It works for a child just meeting letters and one starting to sound words out.
