Nina's Little Universe is a handmade, interactive science world I built for my five year old daughter. Children spin Earth to discover day and night, explore Moon phases and eclipses, experiment with light, and meet planets through touch-driven missions. It's bilingual in English and Albanian, free, and requires no account. What began as a personal project for Nina is now being used in schools, helping children learn by touching, testing, and discovering instead of passively watching.
Hey Product Hunt! I'm Ari, Nina's dad 👋
This started with a simple question: how do I explain Moon phases to my daughter without losing her halfway through?
So I built her a little universe.
Nina's Little Universe lets kids turn Earth, follow their home into daylight, explore the Moon, and play with eclipses. I wanted it to feel like a cardboard world we could have made together at the kitchen table.
I shared an early version on X, and it received over 52,000 impressions and 6,000 link clicks.
It's free to explore. If you are a parent or teacher, try the first day and night mission with a child and tell me:
• Where did they get stuck?
• What could they explain in their own words afterward?
And what space question has a child asked you that sent you straight to Google?
This started as something personal for Nina, but I realized many curious little minds learn better by doing than by listening.
