Hyejin P.
Hyejin covers UX and accessibility on toddler.games. Background in product design, with a soft spot for type and sound. The questions she asks every app: can a non-reader navigate this? does the interface get out of the kid's way? would a parent be embarrassed by what their child sees on the screen? She publishes Mondays.

A 14-year-old indie sandbox whose interface ages well — no ads, no IAP, no language barrier — but whose six-module pay-per-app split is the catch worth flagging.

$1.99 one-time from YATATOY. 4.18/5 across 117 ratings — niche and underdiscovered. Kids draw on real paper around the iPad; animations complete the picture.

LEGO® DUPLO® World·StoryToys (LEGO licensed)· Ages 2-3· November 10, 2025LEGO DUPLO World: themed-pack IAPs are the lesser evil; the engineering is the bigger one
A LEGO-licensed digital DUPLO sandbox for ages 2–5. 4.25/5 across 185,220 ratings. Themed $4.99 packs are honest about what they are; the codebase quality is the surprise weakness. Better art than engineering.
