About this app

CaliKids turns learning to write into a game. Designed for the little ones, it guides children's hands from their very first strokes to real words and sentences, with lovely school-style handwriting.

Seven activities to play and learn:
✏️ Alphabet — trace every letter (a–z) with stroke-order animation.
🔤 Letter Connect — form each letter by joining the dots in the correct writing order.
🔗 Dot to Dot — 15 fun pictures to complete point by point.
📝 Words & Phrases — practice real vocabulary and sentences.
🖼️ Guess — look at a picture and write the word (it recognizes your child's handwriting!).
〰️ Strokes — pre-writing patterns to warm up little hands.

Made for kids, and loved by families and teachers:
• School handwriting fonts and 11 ruled-line templates.
• Three difficulty levels that grow with your child.
• Collectible stickers ⭐, progress rings and an encouraging voice.
• Hint button and an eraser that removes just one part: mistakes are no big deal.
• Light and dark mode, always full-screen in portrait orientation.
• Works with a finger or with a stylus.

Available in 6 languages: English, Spanish, Italian, French, German and Portuguese.

Start writing today: one dot, one letter and one smile at a time.

WHAT'S FREE AND WHAT'S PAID
The alphabet and letter tracing are free and complete, forever. The other games come with a generous sample to try before paying anything. If your child takes to it, each theme can be bought on its own, there's a pack with all the content, and a subscription if you'd rather pay monthly. Every purchase goes behind a parental gate first, and anyone who already had the app keeps what they had unlocked.
Trace letters, join the dots and write your first words. No ads, ever.
