No ads, ever No scores or streaks Phone, tablet or computer Rooted in Jewish life

Play that feels
like home

Little worlds to explore with their own hands, each one drawn from the life around them.

Play a tune: Hine ma tov on a colorful staff, each note the color of its piano key

Jewish life, part of the play

Set the Shabbat table, explore the alef-bet and get ready for the holidays. Familiar traditions and new discoveries become things children can play with and make their own.

The makolet: aisles of picture cards and the cart

Little worlds they recognize

Shop for groceries, deliver a new year’s card, water the garden or fix things with tools. Everyday moments become little adventures of their own.

Light the lights: pots of wax and the hanukkiah in the window

Plenty to try and discover

Paint, build, pour, match, dress up and work things out. Children make choices, try ideas and see what happens.

Gentle on purpose

Low-stimulation by design. Made for the moments you choose a screen, and for putting it down again.

No scores, no losing

Room to try, make mistakes and try again, without stars, points or scores. Nothing is marked wrong, and the activity waits for them.

No timers, no streaks

No streaks to keep up with and no countdowns to beat. They play at their own pace and can stop at any moment.

Slow and soft

Calm colors and unhurried movement, so a child can focus without being overwhelmed.

Endings that let go

Each activity closes on something calm and finished, a small story moment rather than a prize, giving children a natural place to stop.

No ads, no in‑app purchases

Nothing to tap that leads somewhere else, and nothing to buy inside the app.

Grows with them

Their shelf follows their age. Many activities offer different levels to explore as they grow.

Purim, any day

Dressing up is how little ones try on the world. A pirate one day, a farmer the next, a character from a Torah story after that: they imagine, tell stories and step into someone else's shoes.

The grown-ups page on a phone: who plays, with a name and an age for each person

A few favorites, or the whole playroom

Let your child explore every activity, or keep a smaller selection out at a time, just like rotating toys at home. Choose the activities yourself or let Pupik rotate them for you, with favorites always within reach.

Why a smaller shelf

A screen full of choices invites tapping from one thing to the next. A small shelf invites staying.

With just a few activities out, a child settles into one, focuses longer, goes deeper, and comes back to it another day. When the shelf changes, what returns feels new again.

It's the same idea many families use with toys at home: keep a few out, put the rest away, and rotate.

It's up to you. Pupik shows every activity unless you choose otherwise, and you can change it anytime in the grown-ups area.

  • Everything, or a few

    The whole shelf, or just a handful.

  • You choose, or we do

    Pick them yourself, or let Pupik surprise you.

  • We change it for you

    On a rhythm that suits you.

  • Favorites stay

    The ones they love stay out.

  • Right for their age

    Drawn from what suits each child.

Take it offline

The screen is where the play starts, not where it ends.

  1. Play together

    Explore side by side, with little discoveries to share and plenty to talk about.

  2. Try it at home

    Each activity includes a simple idea to try away from the screen, using things you already have around the house.

  3. Print it out

    Some activities include printable sheets to color, cut out and keep playing with.

Why we made Pupik

We’re the parents of two little ones, and Pupik grew out of the things we made for them.

Our son met screens slowly. He was two before he first watched television, and the computer came later, a little at a time, always with one of us beside him. We wanted him to have things worth exploring, and to be able to leave them when he was done. He didn’t even call it playing. He called it “working,” because that’s what he saw us doing at the computer.

So we started making little places for him to explore, built around the things he loved: music, planes, trains, the supermarket. Those first experiments became the beginnings of Pupik.

Jewish life belonged in that play, too. We imagined our children recognizing the Shabbat table from home, exploring familiar traditions and discovering new ones. Their culture could be something they played with and made their own.

Jewish life, for us, happens in our kitchen and on our street, today, full of color, noise and fun. It’s something we live and share. And that can happen through play, too, including on a screen.

Pupik is that little playroom: a calm place to explore, imagine and play, rooted in Jewish life. It started with our children. Now we’re sharing it with yours.

Javier and Mai
With loveMai and Javier
Education has been part of our lives for many years, from Jewish schools and communities in Argentina and Israel, to music education. We’ve worked in both formal and non‑formal environments, in English, Spanish and Hebrew. Pupik was made with a little of all these worlds, along with everything our own children keep teaching us.

Why “Pupik”?

Pupik is Yiddish for belly button.

It's the word you say while poking a toddler's tummy, the one that makes them giggle every time. It carries more affection than meaning: warm, a little silly, and full of family. That's the feeling we wanted Pupik to have, and a small reminder of where we come from.

Good to know

What ages is Pupik for?

Pupik is designed for children ages 2 to 8. Every child can play every activity: set your child’s age and each one starts at a level that suits them, with more to explore as they grow.

Does my family need to know Hebrew?

Not at all. Pupik is available in English and Spanish. Activities that introduce Hebrew use letters and pictures, and the notes for grown-ups help you explore the words together.

Is Pupik for every kind of Jewish family?

Yes. There’s no one way to be a Jewish family, and you don’t need a particular background or level of observance to enjoy Pupik. Whether Jewish life already fills your week or you’re finding your way into it, there’s room for your family here.

Children can explore holidays, traditions and Hebrew letters alongside everyday activities like making music, tending a garden and repairing old treasures.

Which devices can we play on?

You can play now in your browser on a computer, tablet or phone. On a phone, turn it sideways to play.

On Android phones and tablets, get Pupik on Google Play. The app for iPhone and iPad is coming soon.

What languages is Pupik available in?

English and Spanish, with French coming soon. Activities that introduce Hebrew keep their Hebrew letters and words in either language.

Can more than one child use our subscription?

Yes. A family subscription includes every activity for all the children in your household. Each child can have their own profile, with activities suited to their age.

How does the free trial work?

Choose a monthly or annual plan and enjoy 14 days of full access to Pupik. We’ll send you a reminder a week before your trial ends.

Cancel before the trial ends and you won’t be charged. If you continue, your chosen subscription starts automatically when the trial ends.

Are there ads or extra purchases?

No ads, no in-app purchases and no extras to unlock. Every activity is included in your subscription.

Can we use Pupik in a school or community program?

Yes! We offer plans for preschools, schools, synagogues and community programs. Get in touch at hello@pupik.app and tell us a little about your group and the devices you’ll use. We’ll help you find a plan that fits.

What happens to my family's information?

Very little. A grown-up's account needs only an email address, and children never have accounts or give us personal information. What a child does inside an activity isn't recorded, and there are no ads anywhere. Read the full privacy policy.

Come and play

Whether Jewish life already fills your week or you're looking for more of it, Pupik brings it into the thing little ones do all the time: play.
