Count the fish
How many are swimming past? Count them and tap the right number.
How it works
- 1A few things appear on screen, one after another.
- 2Your child counts them and taps the matching number.
- 3The right answer is spoken back so the number gets attached to the amount.
- 4Wrong answers stay on screen to try again.
What it builds
Counting real things on screen, out loud, one at a time. The step most maths trouble traces back to.
Nothing in count the fish can be lost or failed. A wrong answer stays on screen to try again, which is what keeps a two-year-old in the game long enough to learn from it.

What age is Count the fish for?+
It is pitched at 2 to 5 year olds, though children either side of that often enjoy it too. Nothing is timed, so a younger child can simply take longer.
Do I need to install anything?+
No. Kidling runs entirely in the browser on a phone, tablet or laptop. There is no app to download and no store account involved.
Is it free?+
You can play without an account. A subscription unlocks the full personalised plan, the weekly worksheet packs and progress tracking.
Are there ads?+
No. There is no advertising anywhere in the product and nothing that links a child out of it.
