About PonyABC

Our story

A tap of the pen, a song, a giggle with friends, and a new word, colour or sound sticks. We make multilingual talking pens, cards, books, songs and toys that turn everyday play into learning, at home and in early-years settings.

What we believe

  • Learn through play

    Little children learn best when they're playing. That's the whole idea behind PonyABC.

  • Tested with real children

    We test our ideas with real children, parents and nursery teams.

  • For every child

    We care about calm, inclusive play that works for every child, including children with special educational needs and children growing up with more than one language.

What we make

Talking pen and stickers

Tap and listen, or record your own voice onto stickers. Our P5 pen works offline, with no app needed. Co-designed in London.

Books and cards

Talking flash cards and books for words, phonics, colours and numbers, in many languages, with more on the way.

Songs and videos

Gentle, calm songs for little ones in many languages, free to watch on YouTube.
