Press a picture.
Hear the word.
For the one in the house who can’t read yet — and hears the word in your voice, not a stranger’s.
Big targets, because a two-year-old aims badly. No menus, because they press everything.
Three minutes to set up. Then it’s theirs.
Add the words
Thirty-five first words are one tap away — dog, apple, bus, moon. Or build your own set from anything: the people in your house, the animals at the farm you visit, words in a second language.
Record them once, in your voice
Press one button and every word is recorded in the voice you picked — yours, if you’ve set one up, or one of ours. It happens once and is saved. You never do it again unless you change the words.
Hand it over
That’s the whole setup. From then on they press pictures and hear words, and nothing they press costs you anything or changes anything. There are no menus on their side to wander into.
It belongs on the wall
A toddler doesn’t open a laptop. They walk past a screen at their own height and press it. If you have a spare tablet running Cornerstone Display, Wiggle can sit on it beside the calendar and the shopping list — part of the family screen rather than an app someone has to fetch.
A creature lands on one word at a time, which is an invitation to press that one. Press it and it hops somewhere else.
On the wall, Hive Wiggle is part of Cornerstone Plus. On your own phone or tablet it’s included.
What it is, and what it isn’t
- The pictures are emoji shapes, drawn as vectors. A two-year-old recognises them instantly. We serve them as artwork rather than letting each device draw its own, so a set stays sharp on a wall-mounted screen and looks the same to the person who made it and the child who receives it. Real illustrations can replace them later.
- Your voice needs setting up once. If you haven’t recorded a voice with us, Wiggle uses one of ours, or your device’s own. It works either way — it just doesn’t sound like you until you do.
- A child’s voice is not an option, on purpose. A two-year-old can’t agree to having their voice cloned, and a six-year-old has no idea what that would mean at sixteen. We’ll take a sibling’s recordings — yours to keep and to delete — before we’ll build a model of a child.
- Nothing they press costs you anything. The words are recorded once, by you, in advance. Their pressing plays what’s already there — it can’t run up a bill, and it works when you’re not looking.
