How Does Learning Work in Keiki for 1-Year-Olds?

Exploring the world can begin from the very first year! At Keiki, we’ve created games for 1-year-old children that support development through play and simple interaction with engaging characters. Curiosity, motivation, creativity, and a love for learning – all of these are shaped in the earliest years of life. Keiki supports the development of these qualities, helping your child grow in a joyful and balanced way.

At age one, children are especially receptive to sensory input – sounds, colors, and movement. That’s why Keiki offers visually simple but richly sensory games for 1-year-olds, where every interaction has a reaction: a sound, a motion, a visual response. This builds an understanding of cause and effect and nurtures trust in the world – and in the learning process itself.

Parents can be part of the fun – repeating sounds, demonstrating gestures, singing songs. If you repeat what’s happening on the screen and explain it to your child, they’ll not only learn faster and more easily – more importantly, a strong emotional bond will form between you. At this age, that bond is more valuable than any specific content because it provides a sense of security, stability, and comfort.

Skills Your Baby Develops While Playing

Our learning activities for 1-year-olds aren’t focused on just one area – they support overall growth. With Keiki, your baby develops:

  • Attention and observation – Focusing on simple visual tasks strengthens concentration
  • Listening skills – The app helps children recognize animal sounds, basic words, and simple phrases
  • Fine motor skills – Tapping, dragging, and touching are essential movements for hand development
  • Early speech practice – Educational play at this age supports a child’s journey toward speaking their first words

Keiki offers your little one a playful and gentle way to grow – one interaction at a time.

What Kind of Games for 1-Year-Olds Are Available in the App?

Keiki creates a safe, nurturing space for curiosity to grow. Each game is a little scenario of interaction: tap a duck – it quacks; swipe the screen – a trail appears; touch a balloon – it pops. These simple interactions are huge discoveries for little ones. Simplicity and repetition are key at this age, so we’ve included all necessary types of early learning games in our library.:

  • Games with animals and birds – At this age, kids can recognize dogs, cats, and other animals that naturally capture their attention
  • Shapes – Tracing and recognizing shapes helps develop future spatial awareness
  • Facial expression and emotion games – It’s not only about sounds and logic; emotional development and empathy are equally important
  • Drawing – Fun and effective at any age, and a great creative outlet even for the youngest learners
  • Flashcards – Learning at this age often begins with flashcards, which are powerful tools for memory and association

Keiki also includes content for early speech development – practicing sounds, improving pronunciation, and exploring simple voice-based tasks.

Start playing and learning with your little one today – Keiki makes early development fun, meaningful, and full of love.
