How to play Tidy Up

  1. Toys are all over the floor. Under them are toy boxes.
  2. Tap a toy to pick it up, then tap the box it goes in. Or drag it into the box.
  3. If it’s the wrong box, the toy hops back out. Try another one. After two tries, the right box wiggles to help.
  4. When every toy is put away, the room is tidy and you get a sticker.

What it teaches

Sorting is one of the first maths skills. Before children count, they learn that things can be grouped by what they have in common. Tidy Up starts with two colours, then adds shapes, big and small, and finally kinds of things: animals, food, clothes and things that go. Each toy says its name out loud when picked up, so it builds words too.

Questions

My child can’t read yet. Can they play?

Yes. Boxes show colours and pictures, and the game says the toy names and what to do out loud. Turn the sound on with the speaker button.

Does it collect any data?

No. Tidy Up has no ads, no analytics and no sign-up. Progress is saved only on this device.

Can I choose a room?

Yes. Tap “All rooms” and then “Pick a room”. Every room is open, so you can jump to the ones that suit your child.
