About Octopus Giggle
Octopus Giggle - Learning through Laughing! Your preschooler discovers emotions, facial expressions, and family recognition through interactive play with YOUR family's real faces. We built the original version 20 years ago for our own little ones, and now we've rebuilt it from the ground up for a new generation of preschoolers. Capture facial expressions from mom, dad, grandparents, siblings and anyone your little one loves, then watch them learn and laugh as they tap to make faces change. WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT No AI. No ads. No tracking. No internet required. No data collection. Just meaningful learning through laughing, giggling, and quality family time. Built by a family, for families. HOW IT WORKS Take photos of 22 different facial expressions, from big smiles and tongue-out faces to winks, puffed cheeks, and peek-a-boo. Your preschooler taps anywhere on the face and watches it magically transform, learning emotions and facial features along the way! GRANDPARENTS & FAMILY EVERYWHERE Nana in Florida? Auntie in London? No problem! Family members download Octopus Giggle, capture their silly faces and record their voice, then share their profile with you through AirDrop or email. One tap to send, one tap to import. Your preschooler gets to see, tap, and hear the people they love, no matter how far away they live. Unlimited profiles mean the whole family can join in! FEATURES Face Expressions: 22 expressions your preschooler discovers by tapping Learning Games: Teaches emotions, face parts, and family recognition using YOUR voice Doodle Me: Draw on family faces with crayons, markers, pencils, and sparkles Family Sharing: Grandparents and relatives capture their faces and send profiles to you Kid's Corner: A safe creative space just for your little one Record Your Voice: Your preschooler hears mommy or daddy during learning games Two Ways to Capture: Photo Booth guides you through all 22 expressions, or capture at your own pace Unlimited Profiles: Mom, dad, grandparents, aunts, uncles - everyone gets their own Child Lock: On by default so little fingers can't accidentally delete profiles, photos, or voice recordings PRIVACY FIRST No ads, ever.
