๐Ÿ‘ถ COOKIECAL FOR LITTLE ONES โ€” AGES 0โ€“5 โ€” NOW LIVE

Before words. Before clocks.
Routines that feel like play.

A parent-guided daily ritual for children ages 0โ€“5. Visual routine sequences, days-of-the-week display, sun/moon day-night matching, and a live analog clock โ€” all without a screen in a toddler's hands.

๐Ÿ”’ No kid login. No independent screen time. Parent runs it, child participates.

Why a 0โ€“5 tier exists separately

Different goals
A 3-year-old isn't building independence yet โ€” they're building a concept of sequence and time. The goal is "morning comes before school" not "complete your task checklist."
Different interaction model
No touch targets for a toddler to tap independently. This is parent-and-child together, parent driving, child watching and participating verbally and physically.
Different safety profile
No kid account. No data collected on children under 5. No independent use. Parental consent is the entire model โ€” parents set up and run everything.
A bridge to the main app
By age 5โ€“6, kids who've used Little Ones have a head start on routine concepts. The transition to the Kids app (ages 5โ€“18) is smoother because the vocabulary is already there.

Example daily routine structure

What's built โ€” and what's still coming

The core routine builder is live at /parent/little-ones now. Audio prompts and additional animations are still in design.

๐Ÿ“…
Days-of-the-week ritual
A parent-guided daily touchpoint โ€” "Today is Wednesday. What comes after Wednesday?" A visual days strip with clear labeling and a gentle song/rhyme parents can use together with their child.
โ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒ™
Sun / moon day-night matching
Morning activities show a sun icon. Evening activities show a moon. Young children learn to associate time-of-day concepts before they can read a clock.
๐Ÿ–ผ๏ธ
Routine picture sequence
Visual picture-cards for each step of a routine โ€” no reading required. The child taps to advance. The parent sets up the sequence once; the child follows it independently over time.
๐Ÿ‚
Seasons wheel
An interactive wheel showing the four seasons โ€” which one is now, which one comes next. A starting point for understanding that time moves in cycles, not just forward.
๐ŸŽ‚
Birthday & holiday countdown
A visual countdown to an exciting upcoming day โ€” birthday, holiday, first day of school. Abstract future-time becomes a shrinking number of sleeps.
๐Ÿ”ข
Gentle number & clock exposure
Simple visual clock faces showing routine times โ€” not teaching to read clocks yet, just building familiarity. Numbers are big, colorful, non-pressured.
๐Ÿ”’
Parent-managed only โ€” no kid login
No app account for the child. No screen time without a parent present (by design). The parent runs the experience; the child participates. This is a shared ritual, not independent tech use.
๐ŸŽต
Audio prompts & simple animations
Each routine step can play a gentle audio cue. Transitions are smooth and calm โ€” no flashing, no loud sounds, no overstimulating effects. Designed for the youngest sensory profiles.

Included in the Family plan

Little Ones will be included with the Family plan ($7.99/mo) โ€” no separate tier. If you have a 2-year-old and a 7-year-old, one plan covers both. The 0โ€“5 experience lives alongside the kids' app, all under the same parent login.
