Read, play, and record your own stories! An engaging interactive story and early geometry game, which will help your child learn about shapes and develop their spatial thinking skills!
The story and mini games in the app are designed and written by Professor Herbert Ginsburg from Columbia University’s Teachers College and edited by Emmy-award winning writer Jill Turner, the former writer of many of your favorite children’s shows such as Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood and The Good Night Show.
In the playground you can play with the characters, dress them up with various fun costumes, decorate the scene, and record your own stories, or read the original story with their customized characters!
Tiggly Shape's Got Talent app turns learning early geometry concepts such as shape identification and learning shape properties into a fun-filled humorous talent show! You’ll meet “Star”, but not any star, “A Rock Star, Star with a Guitar!” and he will welcome you to his game show “Meet the Star, and get a star! In this show, he attempts to find the BEST shape out there, and he needs your help to bring the contestants onto the stage:
- The sad circle who thinks he’s very boring because all he does is rolling and rolling!
- The stubborn square who thinks she’s perfect because she has four perfectly equal sides and points.
- The tough triangle who thinks he’ll win everything because he has his whole family supporting him.
Star will present various challenges such as finding the perfect wheel for Tracy the truck and it’s up to you to decide which shape should win the trophy! You are in charge of choosing the shapes that will participate in each of the challenges. The app is full of humor and surprises while teaching your little ones important geometry concepts.

Make script maker?
Nickie Brown
I love SGT, Why not make a script maker? You can make up your own stories about them. Choose a name. Write what they are going to say. Make an automatic spelling checker if your kid(s) misspell a word. Play the movie and enjoy the show. Your movie(s) will be shown in the camera roll.q

This is the 8th Tiggly app I’ve downloaded for my little boy and so far both he and I are rolling in the aisles at the hilarity of the game. Not only is it visually outstanding but it also helps our little ones learn about shapes & geometry. My son is actually 5 yrs old but he’s finding it totally engaging and loves dressing up the shapes in all their funny costumes. Such a relief from all of the mindless kid apps that seem to find their way onto my iPad-Education & Fun- Thanks Tiggly!
These apps keep getting better

I bought this app for my little ones when they come to visit and I tried it out, and had a great time with it. The little ones love it too, but I don't know who loves it more!
Tons of laughs and fun!

So much fun dressing up the shapes and creating our own stories! Tiggly continues to impress!
Sound issues
blueeyedgerl
Since the last update or possibly iOS 10. There is no sound when playing the app. My toddlers do not appreciate their being no sound. Please update and fix the issue. Otherwise all the other apps play sound. This one does not. Thank you.
No sound with iOS 11.3.1 version
Sula2
No sound plays with this app which makes it difficult for my toddler to play. Please fix!
