" You can be in another room or right next to them on the couch," said Naoki Ono, Chappet Development Team Leader. " They won ' t know it ' s you unless you tell them because Chappet allows parents or loved ones to become the voice of the child ' s plush toy that involves fun, responsive, backand-forth social and creative interactions. Children also will laugh aloud when they �nd out their best friend plush is mimicking them."
The Chappet speaker button can be sewn on or attached with a string to loop it around the stuffed animal ' s neck like a necklace. It does not need a battery since it is rechargeable, and because of its size, is safe for little children.
Learning more about new options to interact with your child
With a successful launch in Japan last year, Chappet is launching a project on Kickstarter to fund the development of the English version of the app and introduce Chappet to kids in the U. S. The campaign will last three weeks, ending Dec. 3. Visit www. Kickstarter. com and search for Chappet or click here where Chappet will be offered at up to 30 percent off retail price. Take the time to learn more about this and other interactive solutions available for your child this holiday season. Because, as the research shows, a little interaction can go a long, long way.
