Be there as your child discovers something new. Tendle gives you play ideas that support your child’s development and shows you which skills they practise. Simple instructions help you get started. If you want, Tendle pauses the apps you tend to get caught up in while you play.
New words, more capable hands, a big imagination. Discover play ideas that support your child’s development and are fun to do together. Each idea shows you which skill your child practises and how you can help.
Ages 3–5
The doorway is too low. Your child builds it higher and tests whether the giraffe fits through. You hold it steady as they build.
Your child compares the giraffe’s height with the doorway and adjusts their building. They practise recognising spatial relationships and using them as they build.
Choose a play idea for your child’s age. See what you need and how much preparation it takes. The instructions explain how to begin and how you can support your child as they try things out.
Pull the sock over your hand and move it like a mouth. Say: “Hungry!” Your child feeds it imaginary food.
From “The sock monster has hiccups” · Ages 2–3
You choose which apps on your iPhone are paused while you play, such as Instagram or TikTok. That makes it easier to stay with what you’re discovering together. You can also set up regular times if you like.
The little den. The big laugh. Add a photo after playing and Tendle turns it into a personal memory page. With your own words, a little of your time together stays with you.
Your photos stay on your iPhone. You choose what to share.
A photo of you
Save ideas you like and look forward to next time. If a goal motivates you, start a challenge with 3, 7 or 14 play days. Your saved playtimes show what you’ve already enjoyed together.
“My little one wanted to play yesterday’s game again today.”
“Now my daughter asks for our fifteen minutes herself.”
“The photo at the end is a cool idea — it almost always turns out funny!”
“Our little play breaks have become something we both look forward to.”
“I’ve tried so many parenting apps. This is the first one that’s stayed.”
“I also notice that I’m on my phone much less while we play.”

For children aged 1 to 5. Choose your child’s age to find suitable ideas for discovering, moving, building and playing together.
See what you’ll need and how much preparation an idea takes before you start. Choose something simpler when the day is already full, and save other ideas for later.
Tendle is made for you as a parent. Pick an idea, read the instructions and put your iPhone aside. You play together in the real world.
Yes. Add a photo after playing and Tendle turns it into a personal memory page. Your own words make it a little piece of your story to look back on.
Find your next play idea — and be there as your child discovers something new.
