Abstract

One of the superpowers that children posses is the power of imagination. Imagination can be said to be a tool that aids in cognitive development and intellectual thinking. Imagination comes to the foreground when children play with their toys. Its often seen that children talk to their toys. This is a sign of avid imagination manifesting in their plays.

Tiglo aims to let parents to inhabit the toys of the child through expression mirroring. Parents can be part of their child's play by taking over the expressions of one of their toys and giving the toy a personality similar to their own. Assuming characters and superimposing them with the parents expression and child's imagination can help the parents better understand the mental state of the child and they can help out the child if the child shows signs of stress.
