Tappi is designed to grow with your child, from ages 2 to 6+:
Toddlers (1–3): Books feature early words and interactive songs, to build language and fine motor skills. Littles under 2 may need adult supervision to play.
Preschoolers (3+): Every book has interactive games that develop comprehension and critical thinking, and our upcoming Let’s Learn series develops early reading and math skills. -
Sound Books: Instead of old-school buttons, Tappi books have hundreds of tap-to-play audio points. Our rechargeable Play Pen delivers better sound, and works with all Tappi books.
iPad Apps: Tappi has the benefits of apps — interactive, fun, supports independent play — without the downsides of screens.
Audio Players: Beyond just sound, Tappi adds tactile interactivity and visual books, inviting kids to actively play rather than passively listen. -
Tappi was made by two moms tired of the extremes of modern play. Wooden toy brands tell us “tech is bad!”, but deliver toys that feel more like furniture than fun. Meanwhile, screens and apps were engaging and bought us a minute — but also overstimulating, and added to our mom guilt.
We made Tappi so that parents don’t have to choose between extremes.
Tappi combines tactile, screen-free play with interactive audio, in a way that is both educational and fun! Read more in Our Story. -
