A little garden
to grow in.

Hortly Kids is a joyful, gentle first garden for little ones. Plant, potter, colour, count and meet the creatures who live there.

Six little worlds

So much to do in the garden.

Every corner of Hortly Kids is made for small hands and big imaginations. No reading needed to start playing.

Grow

Grow a garden

Plant flowers, trees and veg in your own patch, then water them and watch them grow.

Draw

Colour it in

Twelve pictures to colour, plus join-the-dots to bring each one to life.

Learn

Count and sort

Count the petals, match the shapes and sort the garden, gently and at their own pace.

Play

Playful games

Find it, Snap, Footprints and nature hunts. Little games with a lot of heart.

Stories

Bedtime stories

Gentle read-along tales like Goodnight Garden, with Sprig to guide the way.

Wildlife

Meet the creatures

Ladybirds, frogs, foxes and more. Learn who lives in the garden and where they call home.

Made gentle

Three taps and they are playing.

1

Say hello to Sprig

A friendly little sprout welcomes them and shows them around, out loud.

2

Pick a corner

Grow, draw, count, play, a story or the wildlife. Whatever they fancy today.

3

Grow and collect

Every go earns a sticker for the collection. Kind, calm and never a rush.

Screen time, sorted

Two gentle controls for grown-ups.

Simple ways to keep play calm, contained and just the right length. No account needed.

A sleepy timer

Set how long today's play lasts, from fifteen minutes up to an hour. When the time is up, Sprig gently says goodnight and the garden goes to sleep. An easy way to give monitored screen time without being the one to say stop.

Lock them in a game

Tap the padlock and your child stays in whatever they are playing. The menus and back button switch off, so little fingers cannot wander off into other parts of the app. A grown-up presses and holds the padlock to unlock, and nobody else can.

For grown-ups

Handed over with confidence.

Hortly Kids is built to be given to a child and left with them. Anything grown-up sits behind a simple gate, and there is nothing in here that can lead them anywhere they should not go.
