Your child is presented with two consonants that sit at the bottom of the screen with a space in the middle. They get to pick any vowel they wish from the top of the screen to create a word. If the word is valid, an object, person, or animal will appear. If it’s invalid, it will be ejected from the screen. When they’re done generating words, they can use any or all of them to create an animated story.

If your child has an endless imagination, you need to download Tiggly Story Maker for them.

Creating the animated video may be a bit confusing for younger children.
