Animal Tracker

Look. Follow. Find a friend.

Animal Tracker offers simple looking and tracking activities with friendly cartoon animals. A single character appears on a plain background — it may sit still, appear in different places, or travel across the screen — and the learner watches, follows, and touches it at their own pace.

Included with the membership ($36/year)

How it works

Choose an activity: Attend, Shift of Gaze, or Horizontal, Vertical, Diagonal, or Random Tracking. The animal can move smoothly or in short steps, at a speed you choose.

Meet the animals

More than twenty friendly characters — a puppy, a kitten, a lion, an elephant, a frog, a penguin and more. Choose a favorite, let Random pick, or switch to a simple shape.

Animal Tracker and Track It

Animal Tracker and Track It share the same looking and following activities. Track It uses clear, simple shapes. Animal Tracker uses characters with a little personality. Some learners look longer — and follow farther — when the target is someone they'd like to find.

See Track It

Make it your own

  • Size from Tiny to Enormous
  • Black, white, or bright backgrounds
  • Still or gently pulsating
  • Slower or faster movement
  • Optional visual or sound prompts
  • Gentle or playful celebrations after a touch

Dim the lights. Cut the clutter. Give plenty of time to look — and let a friendly face lead the way.

Animal Tracker is on the Lab Table: a work in progress, shared for exploring. It's an educational activity tool, not a diagnostic or clinical assessment.
