Their First Words

About this app

A little paper. A little paint. A whole world to discover.

Their First Art is a calm tap-to-reveal app for young children. Each picture begins under a patchwork of paper. With every tap, another piece becomes paint. When the last piece is revealed, a gentle voice names the artwork and its maker, or the place and its country.

THREE WORLDS TO UNCOVER

ART
Discover 100 historical artworks from around the world, arranged from oldest to newest. Meet animals, flowers, familiar faces and faraway scenes, from ancient paintings to Hokusai and Van Gogh.

CITIES
Wander through 50 watercolor illustrations of real cities. Uncover little streets, bridges and rooftops, then hear each city's name and country.

NATURE
Explore 50 watercolor illustrations of real natural places, from the Grand Canyon to Mount Fuji. A new landscape waits beneath every sheet of paper.

MADE FOR LITTLE HANDS

Every tap helps reveal the picture, even when it lands on a part already uncovered. There is no reading required to play, and nothing to get wrong. No scores, timers, quizzes or streaks. The picture itself is the reward.

A MUSEUM OF THEIR OWN

Finished pictures stay uncovered on the wall. Partly finished pictures wait just as your child left them. Return to a favorite and cover it with paper to discover it all over again.

A QUIET MOMENT, ANYWHERE

All 200 pictures and English recordings are included for offline play. No ads, in-app purchases, subscriptions or accounts. Progress stays on the device, with no analytics or tracking.

SETTINGS

Open Settings to adjust sounds and voice, reset picture progress, and read the built-in privacy policy and artwork credits. Cities and Nature use original AI-generated watercolor illustrations; the Art collection contains historical works.

Designed for curious preschoolers, especially children around age four. Explore together, or let them take the lead.

From Their First, made by parents.
