A story can give a feeling its name.

Toddle helps children name feelings through interactive stories made to be read, explored, and talked about together while having fun along the way.

What is Toddle?

Designed to be read together.

Toddle is an interaction based storytelling app that focuses on building socio-emotional skills in early readers. Like a storybook, Toddle lets children and their caregivers pause, wonder, talk, and turn the page when they are ready. Interactive visuals invite curiosity without taking over the moment, or rushing the child.

Every Toddle story is written and curated by a team of educators and mental health professionals.

Together when you can

Made for shared reading, questions, and having conversations at the child's pace.

Read aloud when you can't

Built-in narration lets children listen when they are reading a story on their own.

At their own pace

No auto-advance and no pressure. The child and caregiver decide when to move on.

Why we made it

Smart isn't just letters and numbers.

Emotional vocabulary is more than knowing "happy" and "sad." When children learn to notice and label what they feel, they have words to communicate it, make sense of it, and ask for support.

01

Notice

Recognise feelings through expressions, actions, and familiar situations.

02

Name

Move beyond broad labels to words such as worried, frustrated, proud, or relieved.

03

Talk

Use those words to reflect, connect with others, and begin regulating big feelings.

Why it matters: research links early emotion knowledge with stronger social competence and school readiness. Stories make this learning concrete by placing feelings inside characters, choices, and conversations children can revisit.
Who is Toddle for?

For early readers and the grown-ups beside them.

Toddle is for early readers and their caregivers. Stories are currently available in English with three levels of reading stages.

Levels

Pick the right level for your child.

Every kid gets there differently, so we skip the ages. Pick the level that feels right today, and move up whenever you're both ready.

1

Just starting

Very short, predictable sentences. Clear visuals help children follow one event at a time.

2

Getting comfortable

Simple sentences grow a little longer. Detailed visuals support sequencing, feelings, and cause and effect.

3

Reading ahead

Longer, more varied sentences introduce richer vocabulary, fuller story arcs, and gentle plot twists.
