Screen Time That's
All About Your Kid
Not just another cartoon. We make personalized episodes where your child's name, favorite things, and world come alive.
A Show Made for Them — Literally
Every Hippo Polka episode is built around your child.
Their name is woven into songs, stories, and silly challenges.
Their favorite themes — from dinosaurs to unicorns — shape the adventure.
Their developmental stage guides the pacing, repetition, and play.
Because when kids see themselves in the story, the magic (and the learning) sticks.
Imagine This…
Your toddler's eyes light up when they hear their name sung in a song.
They giggle when a silly robot spells it out.
They dance along when their favorite animal pops on screen.
And when the episode ends, the smiles carry over into playtime.
That's what you get with Hippo Polka: a complete, personalized show designed to feel like it belongs to your child.
