# Tracebug

> Tracebug is a tracing game for young children on iPad and iPhone: a friendly ladybug shows each stroke, and children trace first lines, shapes, capital and small letters, numbers, first words and cursive, earning a sticker for every level on a map.

## How it works

- 1, Pick an animal: No typing and no account. Brothers and sisters each pick their own animal and get their own map.
- 2, Watch the ladybug: The ladybug crawls along each stroke first, from the start dot in the right direction.
- 3, Trace with a finger: A slip only pauses the ink. Nothing restarts and nothing says wrong, so small hands keep going.
- 4, Collect stickers: Every level ends with a sticker on the map, from first lines to letters, numbers, words and cursive.

## FAQ
