## What is Timmy Tickle Baby?

Let Timmy Tickle distract your baby while you safely clip their nails.

TOM PELLEREAU - Inventor
“When I found out I was due to become a Dad I started thinking about how to make clipping baby nails easier. The Nipper Clipper is the worlds first nail clipper with a safety spy hole, sharp scissor like blades and curved baby nail file. To distract babies during clipping, I teamed up with my sister, children’s app developer and creator of Timmy Tickle to make this free app. We hope you enjoy it.” 

ABOUT TIMMY TICKLE BABY 
Babies are rarely still, which can make trimming their finger and toe nails really difficult. Timmy Tickle Baby has been designed to help distract babies, to make trimming tiny nails easier.

Timmy Tickle is a friendly octopus who loves to play. Let Timmy entertain your active baby as he shows off his costume collection or changes colour and shape to look like different fruits. Then enjoy happy tunes as different objects and letters fall and bounce around the screen. 

HEALTH AND SAFETY  
We recommend keeping your device out of reach of very small children and using it for sessions of no longer than 20 minutes. 

THE NIPPER CLIPPER
Trimming tiny nails can be tricky and even traumatic. The Nipper Clipper is the worlds first nail clipper with a spy hole that allows parents to see exactly what they are cutting, and the scissor like action of the blades mean it is smooth, sharp and almost silent. The Stylfile baby is a unique curved nail file with a soft abrasive, perfect for smoothing any sharp edges after clipping.

### 1/5 — This app is a waste of time

*2023-05-15, version 1.4*

This is meant to distract babies while using the Stylfile baby nail clippers. 
For some reason this only goes through six random words. Apple, strawberry, cowboy, pirate, vampire and banana. Our twins got bored very quickly.
