Broadens the parent-child relationship

Chappet provides an opportunity for parents to "role play" through a stuffed toy.

Because parents can communicate with their child outside the scope of direct parent-child interaction, I believe Chappet will enable parents to see aspects of their child that they otherwise will not be able to.

Utilizing Chappet as a tool to broaden the parent-child relationship promises interesting possibilities for child-rearing.

Possibilities expand with the user's creativity

Chappet's possibilities expand with the user's creativity.

For example, it can be attached to various "things" other than stuffed toys; by humanizing the thing it is attached to, imagination expands and the ability to spin a narrative is cultivated.

Using it with an open mind will make scenes in everyday life more creative and enriching.

Kids love Chappet!
