HoopSprouts
Basketball fun & counting
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Flick the ball, score a basket, hear it counted aloud! Gentle toddler basketball — every throw goes in, no ads, no tracking, works offline.
HoopSprouts is a gentle "first basketball" game made just for little ones (ages 2–5).
Your child flicks the ball toward the hoop and watches it fly — swish, off the backboard, or a rattling rebound that drops in! Every basket is counted out loud — "one… two… three…" — up to a big confetti celebration at ten. Big gestures, spoken numbers, no reading required, happy sounds — no scores, no timers, no pressure. Just the joy of "it went in!".
LEARN BY THROWING
• Flicking and aiming build early hand–eye coordination and motor skills.
• Every roughly-up swipe scores — a wobbly throw just takes a livelier path in. Never a fail screen.
• Each basket is counted aloud from one to ten (first counting practice!).
• Watch the arc, hear the bounce — real cause and effect little ones can feel.
MADE FOR LITTLE HANDS
• One big friendly ball, one big hoop, huge forgiving swipe area.
• Off-target throw? The ball bounces gently back with an encouraging nudge.
• Three hoop setups, from close-and-easy to a big kid shot.
• Fun ball themes: basketball, beach ball, pumpkin and snowball.
SAFE BY DESIGN
• No ads. Ever.
• No tracking, no analytics, no data collection.
• No accounts and no internet required — it works completely offline.
• Parent-only settings are tucked behind a parental gate.
