Beat Garden
Plant flowers. When the light passes, they sing.
What your kid practises: Rhythm, and waiting for something you know is coming

Why we made it
A little garden of sprouts. A soft light sweeps across it, left to right, about every four seconds.
Press a key and a sprout grows into a flower. It stays quiet — until the light reaches it. Then it blooms and sings. Your kid isn’t writing a song. They’re planting a garden that turns out to be one.
Left plants early, right plants late. Every flower sounds good with every other flower, so there is no way to make a bad garden — empty, full, or anything in between.
How to play together
- 1Watch the light go across once, together.
- 2Press any key to plant a flower. Wait for the light!
- 3Space makes everything bloom at once. ↑ ↓ change the speed.
Good to know
The toy runs in a browser tab, so a curious kid can still find these:
- Ctrl+Alt+Del — Windows always lets that through.
- The browser’s tabs and address bar (unless you use the kiosk launcher from GitHub).
- Swiping in from the screen edge on touchscreens.
