Sunny Pals app
Our games on iPhone and iPad - ready for car trips, planes and places with no wifi.
For iPhone and iPad - 4 games free to try. Or search "Sunny Pals" on the App Store.
What is Sunny Pals?
Sunny Pals: Games for Kids 2-6 is the app version of this website. It has 33 of our gentle games - trains, diggers, puppies, unicorns, mazes and more - packed into one app that works anywhere, even with no internet. It now includes our Christmas games too: Blossom's Christmas Tree, Rainbow's Christmas Sleigh, the Christmas Present Maze, Biscuit's Christmas Biscuits and Santa's Toy Workshop.
The website stays free, just as it is. The app is for times the browser doesn't suit: a long drive, a flight, a waiting room with no wifi, or when you'd rather your child had a proper full-screen app with no browser bar to tap by accident.
Four promises
- No adsNot one. No pop-ups, no videos to sit through, nothing selling to your kids.
- No trackingThe app collects no data at all. No accounts, no analytics, nothing leaves the device.
- No wifi neededEvery game is inside the app, so it plays the same in the car, on a plane or at the beach.
- One-off unlockOne small purchase opens everything - no subscription, ever. Family Sharing is on.
What's free, and what's unlocked
These 4 games are free to play forever, so your child can try the app properly first:
- 🦄 Glitter Sky Unicorn
- 🚁 Whirlybird Rescue
- 🫧 Lenny's Bubble Pop
- 🚂 Chomper's Choo-Choo Express
One purchase (A$3.99 in Australia) unlocks all 33 games, plus every new game we add later. With Family Sharing, one purchase covers the whole family's iPhones and iPads.
🎄 Free for Christmas: our advent calendar is free for everyone in the app until 31 December. Open the sneak-peek present now, then a new door every day from 1 December to Christmas Day.
The purchase, and anything else meant for grown-ups, sits behind a simple maths question, so little ones can't buy anything or wander off by accident.

How it started
Every game in Sunny Pals began with my daughter Lyla saying "Dad, can you make a game where...?" A unicorn flying through a glittery sky. A puppy who needs a bubbly bath. A train full of animals. I'm a dad in Melbourne, so I made them for her, and she and her little brother test every single one before it goes anywhere.
They're the kind of games I wanted my own kids to have: gentle, a bit silly, and with nothing designed to keep them hooked. If your kids enjoy them too, that makes our day.
Questions parents ask
Is Sunny Pals free?
Four games are free to play forever: Glitter Sky Unicorn, Whirlybird Rescue, Lenny's Bubble Pop and Chomper's Choo-Choo Express. One purchase (A$3.99 in Australia) unlocks all 33 games, plus any new games added later. There's no subscription.
Does it need wifi or the internet?
No. Every game is inside the app, so it works anywhere - in the car, on a plane, at the beach or in a waiting room with no signal.
What ages is it for?
Kids aged about 2 to 6. Toddlers can play the tap-and-play games like Bubble Pop, Puppy Care and Shape Sorter with no reading needed, while 4 to 6 year olds can take on the mazes, races and puzzles.
Is it safe? Are there ads?
There are no ads, no chat, no accounts and no links out for kids to tap, and the app collects no data at all. The purchase and grown-ups settings sit behind a simple maths question, and the app is in Apple's Kids category, which has Apple's strictest rules.
Does Family Sharing work?
Yes. Buy the unlock once and it covers every iPhone and iPad in your Family Sharing group. If you get a new device, use Restore in the grown-ups area to unlock it again for free.
Is there an Android version?
Not at the moment. But every game also plays free in the web browser on Android phones and tablets, right here on lylarosegames.com.
What's the difference between the app and this website?
They have the same games (new ones reach the app a little later). The website is free and plays in the browser, so it needs the internet. The app works with no wifi, opens full screen with no browser bar, and saves progress on the device - for a one-off unlock.
