Oliba turns stuffed animals into storytellers

Wouldn’t it be nice if you could buy any stuffed animal for your child and have it talk to them or tell them stories? Even better would be if it couldn’t get lost outside or in your house. Well, with Oliba, that is all possible.

Oliba is a Bluetooth 4.0 connected device that attaches to any stuffed animal. Once connected, the device syncs with your phone to tell you things like where the toys are. This means you can be at a park and not have to worry about your child leaving a toy behind. It will alert you if you are ever over 100ft away from a toy and shows you exactly where it is in the world. Also, if you ever lose Oliba in your house, simply use the app to find it again and it will start playing hooting noises.

The main thing about Oliba is how it interacts with your child. It can share stories, let off a gentle glow, and you can even record your own stories and have it play them. If your child wants to listen to a story without you there, all they have to do is hold down Oliba for two seconds and the current story will start playing. It doesn’t just have to be stories either, you can also load on lullabies and change these lullabies or stories whenever you wish.

Oliba works with iOS and Android, and is currently available to order on Indiegogo. It cost between $35 and $49 with, currently, 12 days left. For that price, you will receive an Oliba, micro USB cable, and the Oliba app.
