TinyTap Makes App Creation Beautiful and Fun with its Theme-Based Creation Packs!
TinyTap is an iPad/iPhone app which puts a powerful creation tool in the hands of kids, parents and teachers and enables them to create their own apps.
What makes TinyTap so unique is its ability to actively involve kids in the learning process. This is what TinyTap’s creation packs are all about.These game-themed creation packs make it easier than ever to get your kids involved and excited about learning.
Kids can choose from a range of quality stickers, backgrounds, colouring pages and activity pages making game creation that much faster and more fun.
TinyTap’s creation packs are highly versatile. They can be resized, moved and even colored-in as the game creator sees fit. But they’re also perfect for reinforcing and revising concepts that have already been taught.
TinyTap consists of the TinyTap Social Market, an in-app App Store, where you’ll find educational games created by other TinyTap users and a selection of in-house games.
Each TinyTap game comes with its own creation pack.
After a child has played a TinyTap game they can use the creation packs to reinforce what was learnt, recreate aspects of the game or even use them to create their own game.
Choosing how to use TinyTap’s Creation Packs is entirely up to the game creator and can be tailored to suit the age of the child. For example, if you are a parent, you could simply let your little ones play with the stickers as they would with puppets.
TinyTap has already begun several partnerships with well-known brands who will offer creation packs based on their most famous characters and themes.
After receiving a 500K seed funding in October 2012, TinyTap is now starting its Series A Round and looking for potential investment partners.
TinyTap’s Creation Packs make user games come to life!

TinyTap Creativity Hackathon – Learning Chinese Culture @ Google’s Hackspace!
This past Sunday, August 18th, TinyTap had the pleasure of hosting a Creativity Hackathon for 16 teenagers from China from the prestigious Peking University High school.
The talented students were visiting Israel with the Israel China Initiative program.
The Hackathon was held at Google’s Hackspace in Tel Aviv – the contest, the people and even the view was absolutely perfect!
The Challenge
The students, aged 15 -17, were paired to work together to create an educational game with TinyTap that taught children (ages 1-12) about Chinese culture.
Categories included language, history, food, places, festivals/holidays, sports, and similarities between China and Israel.
The students concentrated thoroughly for over an hour and came up with great ideas!
We were blown away by their creativity and games – not only were they educational, they were so much fun!
The Prize
The winning students will have their game published and sold on the iTunes App Store!
Pretty amazing for a 17 year old, don’t you think?
