[Why we made this app]
Our 2-year old son has a toy keypad which recognizes about 20 3-letter words and plays an audio clip when recognized words are typed. It came with a picture book to show these 3-letter words as well. He loved it and quickly learned how to type those words. The problem was that he grew out of it very quickly and started to type words which the toy didn’t recognize, even though some of those words were in the book.
Me and my husband wanted to encourage his passion for spelling. We looked everywhere for apps or toys that did similar things, but we were not able to find anything like it. The closest thing we found was a toy from the 70’s called “Speak N Spell”, but it was no longer made.
So I decided to make my own app. I first found a database of existing 3-letter words, and then chose 100 of them that were kid-friendly, drawing pictures and asking my husband to record narrative for each. In order to simulate the picture book that came with the toy we were trying to simulate, I designed a scrollable kid’s reference area. I also added some extra features which didn’t exist in the original toy, such as hiding the words under the pictures, which are included in the purchased version.
It was a great experience creating this app, and I’m very happy to say my son loves it. Especially funny words like pee and poo, which keep him laughing and having fun! Im hoping that other kids will enjoy this app as much as he does.
