More Than Flash Cards
I've watched my daughter learn her letters by sorting and shuffling these cards herself, not just singing the alphabet song. That's the whole idea behind this game.

Real letter recognition.
Shuffle the cards or sort them however you want. Your toddler learns to know each letter on its own, not just recite them in order.
Matching, memory, and color skills.
Every game round asks your toddler to find the pair, remember where cards are, and match colors and illustrations.
Rounded corners, tested for ages 3 and up.
Sized and built for small hands to hold, sort, and carry around on their own.
Every dog gets included, mutts too.
A bonus counting card features ten mixed breed dogs, so your toddler learns to count to 10 too.
The Story Behind Dog ABCs
I'm Nico, an illustrator and a first-time mom at 41, outnumbered at home by three dogs who make sure I never run out of reference photos.
My two year old daughter points at every dog we pass and giggles as she says "woof woof". She loves going through flash cards with me and her dad, sorting them, naming them, doing it all over again. Watching her learn that way, one letter and one dog at a time, is what got me drawing.
It was just for her at first. Now I'm turning it into a matching game other families can enjoy too, and I'm genuinely excited for you to see it.
