Magic name dots
Swipe over the dots to scatter them. Tap for a splash.
Well played! Now try the real one.
Now write the same name with a wet brush on a wall or the floor, big. Fingers learning the shape of a letter do more than eyes watching it.

What it practises
Recognising the letters of their own name. That is all we claim for it. The real version,Water Painting on the Wall, does the same job with things from your kitchen, and does it better.
Five minutes on the screen is plenty. No sign-up, no sound, no ad networks, and nothing your child types leaves this page. More games in the Play corner.
Questions parents ask
Why start with my child's own name?
A child's own name is usually the first word they recognise, and its letters are the ones they notice everywhere after that. Seeing the name scatter and come back together every time shows that a word keeps its shape. Say each letter out loud as you type it.
Does the name I type get saved or sent anywhere?
No. The name is drawn in the browser and nowhere else. There is no form, nothing is stored, and nothing is sent to us or anyone else.
