Fraction Bakery
Run a cosy 3D bakery. Animal customers walk in and ask for a fraction of a bake, like 3/4 of a berry pie or a third of the cupcakes. You choose how many equal parts to cut, move pieces onto the plate and serve. Every order shows the fraction as a symbol, in words and as a picture that fills as you plate. If the amount is wrong, the customer says kindly what they got, a green shape shows the right amount, and that kind of order comes back a little later. Ten days build from halves and quarters up to adding fractions and more than one whole. Coins buy decorations and new recipes, and there is a practice kitchen for free play.
