How to play Farm to Plate
Three picture cards lie mixed up in front of a little path with three numbered steps: a seed, a corn plant and popcorn; a cow, milk and cheese; a flower, a bee and honey; a seed, a tree and an apple. Golu asks "What comes first?", then "What comes next?" and "What comes last?", and each card your child picks hops onto the next step. At the end, everyone washes their hands before eating.
Everything is spoken aloud in your child's language, so a child who cannot read yet can still play. The word also appears on screen in your own script, so print and sound arrive together. Tap 🔊 to hear the question again.
No wrong answers, only another try
If your child taps the wrong one, it still says its own name, which is its own little lesson, and Golu asks again. After a second try the right one bounces or wiggles to help. Nobody loses and there is no timer. At the end a marble drops into Golu's jar.
What your child learns from this where does food come from for kids
Where food comes from, putting things in order (first, next, last) in your language, and washing hands before eating. At this age children learn best by doing one clear thing and seeing something happen straight away, which is why every tap makes the 3D world move and answer straight away.
Play it together: sequencing game for 4 year olds at home
Sit with your child for the first round and say the words with Golu. Point at it, name it, and let your child tap. Five minutes is plenty. Then try the same thing for real, away from the screen.

Now do it for real
When the screen goes off, do something with your hands. Try 🕐 Make a clock — an easy craft for ages 5-6, with every step read aloud in your language. You will need a paper plate or a card circle, two card strips for hands, a pin or a paper fastener (grown-up); nothing that needs a trip to a shop.
There are 56 more on the things to do at home page, and free printable worksheets if you would rather have something on paper. Ten minutes on a screen and twenty minutes off it is a good shape for a day at this age.
