Little Grove: Animal Play

Welcome to Little Grove, a gentle 3D world for little explorers ages 2–5 and the grown-ups beside them. A LITTLE FRIEND TO START Sunny the lion, the playground, and every game and story are free. A one-time in-app purchase unlocks four more places — hospital, school, fire station, and airport — plus eleven more animal companions: a bear, bunny, fox, elephant, panda, turtle, penguin, puppy, kitten, giraffe, and koala. Every animal is fully 3D, ready for children to touch, paint, and play with. There is no subscription. If you already unlocked the animals, the new places are included in that purchase. MORE WAYS TO EXPLORE Four new touch games travel with your chosen animal to every place. Pop colorful balloons in different sizes, bounce balls while counting, grow flowers from seeds, and follow glowing numbered stars to make a trail. Gentle reactions, new colors, and changing arrangements invite another turn. Explore five 3D places: a playground, pretend hospital, school, fire station, and airport. Touch 17 different toys and your animal walks over to play. Tuck in a toy teddy, roll an ambulance, stack counting blocks, turn a picture-book page, draw shapes, wash a toy fire engine, move a ladder, unroll a hose, fly a plane, load luggage, and discover a windsock. The playground still has its ball, slide, bouncy lily, flowers, and sailboat. Repeated visits change colors, arrangements, or movement. Spoken explanations introduce each place and its objects. Tickle, wave, dance, and hear real animal recordings. Find a hiding friend. Count apples in changing arrangements. Discover colorful flowers. Match shapes, compare big and small apples, and uncover pairs. Paint your animal with your finger. Visit the moonlit garden, tap glowing fireflies to send them flying, and watch your animal wave hello. Or settle down with three original bedtime stories starring your chosen animal. Watch your friend stretch, wave good night, follow a leaf boat, cuddle a starry blanket, and drift off to sleep. The acting and highlighted words follow the narration; silent playback is available too. ROOM FOR PLAY Compact controls keep the animals in view. Tap the current place name to find its toys or choose Change place. Choose a new touch game from Games or Play ideas. Open painting tools when you need them. Play in portrait or landscape. Grown-ups can lock navigation and tool controls while keeping the scene touchable. Unlock by holding the small lock and completing a reading-based number challenge. This in-app lock does not replace iOS Guided Access. GENTLE BY DESIGN No scores, penalties, timers, or losing. Ages 2–3 count to three and match two pairs; ages 4–5 count to five and match three pairs. New layouts and shuffled targets keep rounds varied without changing the simple rules. YOUR VOICE, TOO Use the included natural VibeVoice narration or record your own phrases and story pages in the grown-up voice library. Unrecorded phrases keep the default voice. Recordings stay on your device. A PRIVATE WORLD Games, stories, and unlocked animals and places work offline. No ads, child accounts, third-party analytics, or activity tracking. Apple handles the optional animals-and-places purchase and restoration; those actions need an internet connection. Preferences, paintings, and caregiver recordings stay on your device. Little Grove is made for shared play with a grown-up.
