About Nazoricco
Nazoriccois a free educational web app for children ages 1–5. There is nothing to install — it runs right in your tablet's browser.
Games
- Trace the Line — Draw a line with your finger from the green circle to the star. It starts with straight lines and gradually adds zigzags, spirals and forks. When the line connects, a little cat walks along it
- Coloring— Color pictures of an apple, a train and a house with 10 crayons. Going outside the lines is totally fine — it's free creation with no right answer
- Compare!— Compare sizes, lengths, heights and numbers, and drag the one that matches the silhouette in the cat's speech bubble. The four ways of comparing appear in random order
- Color Matching — From same-shaped toys in different colors, pick the one in the color the cat wants
- Shape Matching — This time the colors are the same and the shapes differ. Pick the matching shape
- Number Matching — The cat shows a number from 1 to 9. Pick the group of fruits with the same count
- Direction Matching— Tap a car or train and it flips around. Make them all face the same way as the cat's example
- Shape Puzzle — Drag circles, triangles, stars and hearts into the matching holes
- Memory Match — Flip the cards and find the matching pairs. A gentle memory game with just a few cards
- Number Order — Drag groups of fruits and cars onto the numbered spots, 1, 2, 3… in order
- What Comes Next? — Look at the repeating row (apple, banana, apple, banana…) and pick what comes next
- Sorting — Put the mixed-up fruits and vehicles into their own boxes
- Maze — Trace through easy mazes with your finger without crossing the walls
- Write Numbers — Trace the numbers 1 to 9 with your finger, following the stroke order
Every game communicates through pictures (the cat's speech bubble), so children who can't read yet can play on their own. There are no ✗ marks — the games are designed so that nothing feels like failure.
What skills does it build?
- Pre-writing skills — Practice drawing lines, the step before writing letters. Strokes follow the natural writing directions of left-to-right and top-to-bottom
- Comparison concepts — Big and small, long and short, tall and low, more and less — experienced visually, before words
- Color and shape recognition — Matching games that work even before children know the names of colors and shapes
- Numbers and quantities — Connecting the symbol “3” with “three things”: a first step into numbers
- Hand-eye coordination — Moving a finger exactly where the eyes are looking
- A sense of accomplishment — Lots of small wins: a celebration after every question and a big reward after each set
Difficulty ramps up gently inside each game: lines get more complex, differences get smaller, and the number of choices grows. Ages 1–2 can enjoy short straight lines and coloring, while ages 4–5 can take on forks and six-choice questions.

FAQ
What ages is it for?
Ages 1–5. Toddlers (1–2) can start with tap-only games like Coloring and Memory Match, around 3 they can trace lines and compare things, and 4–5 year olds can take on forked lines and six-choice questions.
Is it really free?
Yes — completely free. No ads, no payments, no in-app purchases.
Do I need to install an app?
No. It runs right in your tablet or phone browser. You can add it to your home screen to launch it like an app, and once loaded it also works offline.
Do I need to register or share personal information?
No. There are no accounts, and we never collect personal information such as names, ages or email addresses.
Does it work on phones?
Yes, though most games involve tracing with a finger, so a tablet in landscape orientation gives the best experience.
