One big friendly button for a bored toddler. Tap it, get one tiny thing to go do, mostly outside and always screen-free. Built for my two little ones, and the ten minutes before a meltdown.
Built for the moment between “I’m booored” and a full meltdown. One tap turns it into a tiny adventure, no screen required.
A button a two-year-old can use, with warm, doable activities that grow with them from ages 2 to 6.
No menus, no choices, no reading required. One giant tappable button serves a single, doable activity, then an “Another one!” button for the next. That’s the whole app.
A single toggle swaps the entire activity set. Sunny? Outdoor gets you out the door. Rainy day at home? Flip to indoor and the frog-hopping becomes couch-cushion stepping stones.
Every activity has its own crayon-drawn character, 32 of them, hand-illustrated and tucked right into the file. Finish a mission, tap “We did it!” and the card throws a little confetti party.
No app store, no account, no setup. Save it once and it lives on the home screen like a real app.
Add Boredom Button to the home screen straight from the browser. It opens full-screen, even offline.
Outdoor or indoor, depending on the weather and the mood. One tap swaps the whole set.
One tiny adventure appears with its own little drawing. Go do it, then tap again for the next.
Boredom Button is a single HTML file with the art, activities, and animations baked in. No server, no accounts, no analytics, nothing for a little one to wander into.
The illustrations were hand-painted, then cut out, background-removed into transparent PNGs, and embedded straight into the document. The result is one file you can text to another parent: it works offline, costs nothing to run, and collects nothing at all. Built for ages 2 to 6, useful for the toddler, safe for the baby, and calm enough for the grown-up holding the phone.
Hand it to a bored kid and see what tiny adventure comes up.
