About Girafoufou: a little world made by two friends

Girafoufou is a calm learning world for children aged 3 to 6, made by two friends: Marcel Venturino and Bastien Thomasso. A little giraffe accompanies children through numbers, English sounds, puzzles, stories and creative play.

People you can identify

Marcel Venturino is the founder and developer of Girafoufou. Bastien Thomasso is the cofounder working with partnerships and families. The public profiles and contact links below identify the people behind the product. We do not present ourselves as a school, a research institute or an independent app-review service.

Choices built into the game

The experience uses gentle sounds and animations, spoken and written instructions, no adverts and no trackers. Mistakes invite another try. After about 25 minutes of play in a day, Girafoufou offers a nap that only a grown-up can extend. Off-screen ideas are part of the experience, not rewards for staying longer.

One family, two learning languages

Girafoufou brings French and British English into one family account. A parent chooses the learning language for each child. Language learning progress is kept separate, while the garden, earned stars and quiet time stay shared. Web pages use girafoufou.fr for French and girafoufou.com/en for English.

Questions
from parents.

Are the learning results independently proven?

We do not claim independently measured learning results, medical benefits or official curriculum approval. The pages describe the activities and their limits, with external educational sources clearly separated from product claims.

Who writes these guides?

These guides are product information from the Girafoufou team. They explain how the activities work and suggest things to try together; they are not independent reviews of the app.
