Faboo: Make Your Own Stories

Faboo is a Montessori-inspired, painted storybook world where children aged 2 to 7 make their own stories. They choose a place and the characters, the stage comes alive, and the curtain opens on their own show. At bedtime, they listen to a little cassette tape or open a pop-up book with Pip the red panda. Montessori-inspired means your child leads, makes real choices and plays at their own pace. There are no scores, no points and no streaks. Make a story • Pick a place: a castle courtyard, a tower, a garden, a pirate ship, a beach and more. • Choose who is in it: the Knight, the Dragon, the Queen, the Captain, the Parrot, and the heroes your child has made. • Add a dragon egg, a cake, a treasure map or a rain cloud. • Tap a character to choose what they do: laugh, dance, hug, get scared or go to sleep. • Put the scenes in a row, then raise the curtain. The story plays like a little film, with music, and the cast takes a bow. Make a hero • Pick one of eight painted heroes and dress them up: a crown, a cape, fairy wings or a pirate hat. • Give your hero a name with a picture sticker, or say the name out loud. • Your hero moves into Pip's home and can join every story. Bedtime tapes: Patch by Patch • Pompon is a cuddly toy who has been mended many times. Each tape tells the story of one patch. • Put the tape in the player, press Play, and listen while painted pictures follow the story. • Each tape has two endings. By day, it ends with a wiggle dance. At night, it slows down and Pompon is tucked in. • Side B is for grown-ups: a short note about the story, ideas to try tonight, and each sound from the story to play on its own. • Two tapes to start: The Round Sea and The Little Drum. Pop-up books for bedtime • Eight pop-up picture books in cut-paper styles. • Tap the windows to light them, pull a tab to raise the moon, lift a roof to find the Cat. • Each book is read aloud with soft music and ends with goodnight. Pip's radio show • Your child goes on air in Pip's little studio. Pip asks a question with a picture, and your child answers. • Then the show plays back, with a jingle and applause, and your child hears their own voice. • Or your child can be the reporter and interview a grown-up, a brother or sister, or a favorite toy. • Every show is kept as a tape on the studio shelf. Pip's home • Pip lives in a cozy painted home that changes from day to night. • Its doors lead to the stage, the wardrobe, the music window and the tape player. The toy box holds the pop-up books, the radio studio, drawing, blocks and a busy board. For grown-ups • Settings, Side B and recordings sit behind a grown-up gate. • Up to four children can each have their own space. • The microphone stays off until a grown-up turns recording on. What your child records stays on this device. Faboo never uploads it. • No ads and nothing to buy.
