How to calm an angry child
Keep them safe, stay close and breathe yourself. Once you are both calm, name the feeling and set the limit. Later, teach the signs of anger: tight fists and a fast heart.

Short video tips for parents
Each one is about a minute and gives you something to try today with your 3 to 7 year old, based on advice from health and education experts.
Teaching letters? Start with their name
Children usually know the letters in their own name first. Stick it on the fridge, point to each letter together, and keep it to two or three letters a week.

One app, three kinds of families
Pakistani families get Urdu and English together: the qaida from alif to yay, English ABC, and Urdu picture stories like The Thirsty Crow.
Muslim families anywhere (UK, US, Canada, the Gulf, Malaysia) get the basics a 4-year-old can actually follow: wudu and every namaz position with pictures, the six kalmas with meaning, and short duas for eating, sleeping and travel.
Any family can switch the faith modules off. What's left is a calm, ad-free preschool app: phonics, tracing, counting, animals, colours, shapes and stories.
This is the real setting from the app: Settings → Choose what your child sees. It sits behind a grown-up maths question.

What does your child actually do in KidSpin?
Real screens from version 1.0.3, in the order a child meets them. Scroll sideways to follow a session.
-
Open to today's three steps
One letter or number, one manners or faith lesson, one fun topic. The next letter unlocks only when this one is learned.
-
Tap, hear, learn
A for Apple, read aloud. One switch flips the same card to Urdu.
-
Urdu qaida, alif to yay
All 39 letters in qaida order, each with a picture word and a short sentence.
-
Trace with a finger
Numbered start dots and arrows teach real stroke order, in English and Urdu. Scribbling doesn't count.
-
Play to practise
Picture match, counting, colours, animal swipe and phonics blending all quiz the lesson just learned.
-
Sound out real words
V-A-N becomes "van". Phonics blending is how reading starts, not just letter names.
-
Talk to Echo
Your child says anything, in any language, and Echo repeats the sound in a funny voice. The recording stays on the phone and is deleted after it plays. How Echo works.
-
Learn namaz step by step
Illustrated wudu and Hanafi-guided prayer positions, with selected Arabic phrase excerpts and short explanations. Practise with a parent or teacher.
-
Wind down with a story
16 short comic books in English and Urdu. Each panel lights up as its line is read.
-
Parents stay in charge
Pick which modules your child sees, set their age, and keep purchases behind a grown-up question.

Is KidSpin safe for young children?
Here is how the app handles ads, voices, learning progress and parent controls. Read the privacy policy for network and service-provider details.
No ads
KidSpin has no advertising SDK in it at all. Nothing pops up mid-lesson, and no ad network ever sees your child.
Learning stays on your device
Learning progress and Echo recordings stay on the phone. Purchases, restores and optional license checks use internet; crash reporting may send diagnostics if enabled in the installed version. Safety details.
Bundled lessons
Lessons, games and stories are inside the app. Offline speech needs an installed offline voice for the language you choose; voice quality varies by phone.
No subscription trap
The app is free. The Bonus Pack is bought once and kept. Nothing renews.
A small daily routine
Today's Path offers three short activities. Most stickers need a right answer to a small check on two different days. That is a practice signal, not a test or certificate.
Made for small hands
Big buttons, one idea per screen, and phone voices help children explore. A parent can guide the activity and check pronunciation together.
What's new in KidSpin 1.0.6?
KidSpin 1.0.6 has been available on Google Play since 2 November 2026. If your phone has not updated yet, open Google Play and update KidSpin. It adds a number game, a Games button with all eight games, two new free modules (Feelings and Urdu joined letters), and most stickers now need a right answer on two different days. The 1.0.5 features below, such as sibling profiles and the daily time limit, are all still there.
Number game and a Games button
Count the dots, make 10, and find more or fewer. All eight games now sit behind one Games button, and each game ends after five rounds.
Feelings and Urdu joined letters
Ten feelings, each with one thing to do, like a slow breath. From age 5, joined letters show how an Urdu letter changes at the start, middle and end of a word.
Stickers on two different days
Most stickers need a right answer on two different days, so one lucky tap does not count. Learned letters and numbers come back for review after 1, 3, 7 and 30 days.
Siblings on one phone
Add up to four children. Each child keeps their own stickers, streak, lessons and favourite topics. A first name is optional. The name and age are stored only on the phone, with no account.
A daily time limit for each child
Choose Off, 15, 30, 45 or 60 minutes. Only time on learning screens counts, and it resets at midnight. When time is up your child sees "See you tomorrow!". A grown-up can add 15 minutes or lift the limit for the rest of the day.
Progress report and "What KidSpin knows"
See what each child learned per module, their streak, the last seven days of Today's Path and the next lesson. A trust panel explains ads, data, the microphone and who built the app in plain words.
Bedtime Listen mode
Stories and duas are read aloud hands-free. Story pages turn on their own, and the screen stays on only while it plays. Listening never earns stickers, so it stays a calm wind-down.
A sticker means "answered"
After a new card, your child taps the picture they hear. Learned letters come back for a quick review one, three, seven and 30 days later. Children aged 5–7 can play a short placement game so they don't restart at A.
Picture-first home for ages 3–4
Big picture tiles replace text. The first tap says the name and the second tap opens it, so a child who can't read yet still finds their way.
Talk-together questions
One short question per lesson and story, such as what might happen next, for you and your child to chat about. There is no right or wrong answer, and a parent can turn it off.
Gentle checks for namaz and duas
"Which picture shows ruku?" for qiyam, ruku, sujood and jalsa. For five situation duas, such as waking up or travelling: "When do we say this dua?" Recitation is never graded.

Questions parents ask
Is KidSpin really free with no ads?
Yes. Since version 1.0.3 (September 2026) KidSpin contains no advertising SDK at all, so there are no ads in the free version. The free app includes 16 learning modules, 16 story books, eight games and Echo. An optional Bonus Pack adds 10 more modules for $2.99 once on Google Play (Rs 299 in Pakistan). There is no subscription. Pricing.
Bachon ko Urdu qaida aur namaz sikhane ki free app kaun si hai?
KidSpin is a free Android app for ages 3 to 7 with no ads. It teaches the Urdu qaida (alif bay pay, 39 letters) with finger tracing, English ABC, counting, namaz with pictures, the six kalmas and daily duas. Urdu aur English dono mein, login ke baghair. Parents can hide the Islamic modules.
Can two or three children share KidSpin on one phone?
Yes, from version 1.0.5, which has been available on Google Play since 14 October 2026. Up to four children can each have their own profile on one phone, with their own stickers, streak and Today's Path. A first name is optional and stays on the phone. A parent can also set a daily time limit of 15 to 60 minutes for each child.
Are there free printable worksheets?
Yes. The tracing worksheets page has five free A4 PDF packs with no sign-up: all 39 Urdu letters, ABC capitals, abc small letters, numbers 0 to 9 and Urdu ginti 1 to 20. They use the same stroke order as the app's tracing game.
Is KidSpin good for families who are not Muslim?
Yes. Parents can hide the Islam, Namaz and Duas modules: a parent opens Settings, answers a grown-up question, picks "Choose what your child sees" and unticks them. The daily path then skips them, and KidSpin works as a general English preschool app: ABC, phonics, tracing, numbers, maths, animals, colours, shapes and stories.
Does KidSpin work offline?
Lessons, games and stories are bundled. Speech uses your phone’s text-to-speech voices. Offline speech needs an installed offline voice for the selected language; quality varies by device. Purchases, restores and license checks require internet.
What ages is KidSpin for?
Ages 3 to 7: toddlers, playgroup, nursery, pre-K and kindergarten. Set your child's age and KidSpin shows content that fits, with bigger steps such as times tables for older children. A parent switch shows every module.
Does KidSpin teach Noorani Qaida?
No. KidSpin teaches the Urdu qaida: all 39 Urdu letters with a picture word and tracing. Noorani Qaida is the Arabic primer for reading the Quran and is best learned with a teacher. Many families use KidSpin for Urdu and English alongside a Noorani Qaida class. More on this.
Is there an iPhone version?
Not yet. KidSpin is on Android through Google Play today. An iOS version is planned.
Last updated 19 October 2026. Screenshots show production version 1.0.3.
