From the Manufacturer
---------------------
Brings Tactile Play into Digital Learning Tiggly Words focuses
on the most challenging part of learning to read: vowels and
phonetics, and bring them literarily into your child’s hands.
This unique combination of tactile play with the vowel toys and
digital play on s creates a powerful learning experience
for children that cannot be replicated with traditional letter
blocks or apps alone
Build Fundamental Literacy Skills To effectively learn how to
read, children need to have the rtunity to experiment
blending sounds, building new words, pronouncing meaningful and
non-sense words, and using new vocabulary through storytelling
and expression of thought. This is exactly the type of experience
children will get with Tiggly Words.
Tiggly Story Maker turns the process of creating three-letter
words into a madcap experiment. Place any vowel you wish on the
screen between two consonants and create a variety of words
accompanied by humorous animations. You can then record a short
video animation telling a story about your creations!
Is your little learner ready for an underwater adventure? A
hungry octopus, a sea of vowel fish and other fun characters
teach simple words and short vowel sounds while navigating the
deep seas.
Time for a check up on your verbs! You are appointed to be the
Tiggly Town Doctor, and your patients have every malady
imaginable! Along with your Words toys, you will complete action
verbs to alleviate your silly patients’ unexpected maladies.
Featuring Sesame Street Alphabet Kitchen app This is a
vocabulary-building app, which will help your child practice
early literacy skills by blending letter sounds to create words!
By creating letter cookies and decorating them in his kitchen,
Chef Elmo helps kids learn about vowels. Through blending letter
combinations to create words, Cookie Monster helps children
‘bake’ words into deliciously fun cookies.
About the Startup Describe your product in 3 words.
Physical meets digital
How did you come up with the idea for this product?
Soon after the iPad launched, it was clear that s were
going to be a very popular toy in children’s toy box. But decades
of research say that physical play is a really important part of
early childhood development. At Tiggly, we saw an rtunity to
bring physical play and s together in a unified
physical-meets-digital experience. We started from classic toys
and learning materials: the shape sorter, Cuisenaire rods, and
alphabet fridge magnets, and we asked what would the 21st century
version of these products be? We ended up with Tiggly Shapes,
Tiggly Maths and Tiggly Words.
What makes your product special?
Our brains and hands are connected: we think and understand the
world with our hands. This is particularly true for young
children and has driven the popularity of the Montessori method.
Tiggly interactive toys bring tactile play with classic shapes,
counting blocks, and letters into children digital learning
creating a powerful learning experience that cannot possibly be
replicated with traditional toys or apps alone.
What has been the best part of your startup experience?
At Tiggly we are delivering a product experience that is
developmentally appropriate for children. It is truly satisfying
to build a learning product that children love and that is
different to any other experience out there. We get immense pride
from seeing our customers engage and have fun with Tiggly. We
love that their experience is so much more than passively staring
at a screen. We are engaging all their senses and encouraging
them to stretch their understanding of geometry, maths and
literacy.
