Moonsteps · Count the sleeps, learn time

Count the sleeps to something special.

Moonsteps helps children aged 4 to 10 count down to the things they’re waiting for, like birthdays, holidays and Christmas, in sleeps.

Every bedtime they pop tonight’s moon, and the wait gets one sleep shorter.

A calm countdown for bedtime

Count the sleeps to something special. Pop tonight’s moon at bedtime: a countdown to My birthday with 12 sleeps to go and a big moon to tap. A new countdown in two taps. Pick a picture, then pick the day: Birthday, Christmas, Holiday, Party, A visit or Something else. Birthdays, holidays and Christmas. All their countdowns in one place, from a football match in 4 sleeps to Christmas in 2 months. Big pictures, no reading needed. Made for children aged 4 to 10: a big gift picture and a large 12 sleeps to go. Learn how time fits together. Owl’s time explorer shows 1 day as 24 hour beads, with a fun fact. Then hooray, it’s the big day! Confetti for every wait: It’s today! My birthday. You waited 12 sleeps.
