SquarePanda Member Love
I just love SquareTales! My daughter sits only for 10 minutes with SquareTales, regularly, and she can understand so much. Even the stories, which have only 2-3 words and small sentences, are simple for her. I don't feel bad about the screen time, because SquareTales actually helps my daughter read on her own. I'm super happy that I gifted her SquareTales!
Pooja
Mother of a 2-year-old
In nursery, my son's teachers weren't happy with him because he never spoke. Now, after playing with the Square Panda educational games, his vocabulary has improved to a great extent. He loves playing his favourite games-Letter Lullaby and Bowling-all the time.
Karamjit Banwait
Father of 3-year-old
My daughter is 5-years-old, she loves being active, she loves to play, and she won't read. But when I introduced her to SquareTales, she started reading small sentences and even making her own sentences! I'm very excited to see what else she learns from these digital and PDF books.
Nitin
Father of 5-year-old
I think any child would love to play with this, since it is full of colourful characters. They are willingly reading with SquareTales, and unknowingly learning. I am really happy with SquareTales, because it is giving that overall development to my children. They are at par with the world and with technology. I am so confident that this product will help my children become successful and more advanced.

No. We have designed them to be durable but they should not be immersed in liquid. If they become wet, please wipe them off with a dry cloth as soon as possible. Do not play with any electronic toy in the bathtub.
Several reasons are possible:
- The letters have been damaged or are dirty which prevents them from seating properly in the playset. Clean the letters with a damp cloth and dry them thoroughly.
- The letter slots may need cleaning. Watch out especially for crumbs or small debris which may prevent the letters from sitting flat in the letter slot.
- Playset may need calibration. Make sure the playset is clear of all letters before calibrating.
- If the letters still read incorrectly after going through the above steps please contact us at support@squarepanda.in and we will replace them.
Your playset is calibrated at the factory to detect the smart letters. Under certain circumstances, the software may request that you calibrate the playset. Follow the instructions on screen or on the game's main menu, select MANAGE/PLAYSET. On the "MANAGE PLAYSET" screen select 'Calibrate' and follow the on-screen instructions.
We intentionally made the button into a "soft lock" that requires a long press to prevent players from accidentally entering the menu.
