Beary Happi is App’d to Entertain Tots

Parents of toddlers know this generation is more tech-savvy than any other. Most kids can work a flat screen and program an iPod before they learn to tie their shoes. For these techie tots, Beary Happi is the perfect hybrid of toy and smartphone app. A lovable teddy bear friend that plays on little one’s fascination with touch screens and the cuddliness of plush, Beary Happi is the perfect interactive companion. All parents have to do is put their iPhone or iPod touch inside a HappiTaps cover, download the free app, and voilà: the 21st century Teddy. Hopefully it also offers a few minutes of peace and quiet.

HappiTaps is a collaborative venture by the creative minds of Tipitap, a company that publishes award-winning apps for young learners and Infantino, a 25-year-old brand well known by parents — harnessing decades of experience and a profound understanding of kids, moms and teachers.

HappiTaps likes to call Beary Happi an “app-cessory” that kids 18 months and older can watch come to life in a manner never before experienced in a plush toy. Children are sure to love nurturing him, feeding him, and helping him go to sleep. Or listening to him chat, share fun facts, tell jokes and stories, and sing songs. Beary Happi helps keep kids engaged and learning.

The best part about Beary Happi is its portability. A small, square bear, it’s about the size of a kid’s lovey and is easily gripped by even the littlest of tikes. Parents will love having it for long car trips and grocery store treks. It can also take a beating. Little ones can bite and drool all over BearyHappi and he just keeps on ticking.

The Beary Happi teddy has several modes, including Expressions in which teddy can chat, share fun facts and teach kids to count to 10. BearyHappi also loves to sing! He sings along with his friend Angie to favorite classic children’s songs. The younger toddlers will adore his Peek-A-Boo feature and the Nighty Night setting where Beary Happi goes through a complete bedtime routine including story, lullaby, and sheep for counting. Its Toddler feature actually toggles through the applications on its own for the tots who haven’t quite yet worked out how to make technology happen at their pudgy little fingertips.
