CloudiKids™– For Storymakers CloudiKids™is an offline, screen-free interactive storytelling companion designed for children aged 3 to 12. Powered by Next Generation Storymaking Technology™, CloudiKids™transforms passive storytelling into active storymaking. MAKING KIDS THE HERO OF EACH STORY CloudiKids™is the first product on the market to offer fully customizable stories with endless characters and storylines. It allows parents and children to easily create brand-new, original stories with unlimited creativity. Any type of story is possible— you can choose from 6 main story themes—Action, Comedy, Adventure, Fantasy, Romance, and Detective—and create one-of-a-kind stories that reflect your child’s personality, interests, and values. You can select from a built-in library of existing characters or invent entirely new ones, including your own children, and tailor each adventure around their favorite activities and interests. INTERACTIVE LEARNING CONTENT In addition to stories, CloudiKids™features interactive learning content that encourages curiosity and reinforces critical thinking across 4 areas: History & Geography, Nature & Ecology, Science & Technology, and Art & Literature. Children actively participate by using intuitive yes/no buttons, answering questions and reinforcing learning through play. MUSIC AND SOOTHING SOUNDS CloudiKids™offers original audio experiences, including songs, melodies, white noise, and music specifically adapted to a child's age range and inspired by a wide range of musical styles. The CloudiKids™Music Library also allows you to load new selections so your children can always have a fresh musical experience. If you would like to stream your own content, CloudiKids™can be also used as a Bluetooth speaker. IMMERSIVE LIGHTING EXPERIENCE The CloudiKids™device also comes to life visually with soft, glowing lights. The light colors and patterns change interactively throughout all the stories, lessons and music, creating an immersive and calming atmosphere. FULL PARENTAL CONTROL Designed for families and built on trust, CloudiKids™gives parents full control of all content through a dedicated app. Parents can co-create stories, manage content, securely upload new stories via Bluetooth and personally guide their child’s experience to ensure a safe and controlled environment.
