Dear grown ups,

MeetTailsiee.

A little friend for medicine time.A syrup bottle carrier with stories
for the “not now” moments.

Does your child refuse
their syrup medicine?

When they turn away or push the spoon aside, giving a dose can be difficult for both of you.

Tailsiee is a syrup bottle carrier that looks like a little friend. Paired with audio stories and a paper playset, it gives parents and children a way to bring storytelling and play into medicine time.

For parents and children ages 3–8.

Curious about our approach?
Science behind Tailsiee

What is Tailsiee?

A little friend with a world to explore: a syrup bottle carrier, companion audio stories and a paper playset with scenes and puppets.

What can we try right now?

Listen to the free “What Kind of Off” story. No sign-up needed. The story is just over four minutes long. Try a story ↗

What age is it for?

We’re creating Tailsiee for children aged 3–8 with a grown-up. We’ll confirm age and safety guidance for the physical set before orders open.

Can we enjoy the stories without the carrier?

Yes. The first audio collections will be available on their own. The stories and play can also be enjoyed outside medicine time. We’ll share listening options and prices before launch.

What research is behind Tailsiee?

Research on stories, play and caregiver support informs what we’re making. We don’t yet have evidence for Tailsiee’s own learning, eating or medicine-taking benefits, so we can’t promise less distress or fewer refused doses. The thinking behind Tailsiee ↗

Who handles the medicine?

Always a grown-up. Use the measuring device supplied or recommended for the medicine and follow its dose and storage instructions. Never use a kitchen spoon. Keep the original labelled bottle out of children’s sight and reach, even inside the carrier. It is not child-resistant. Children use separate play pieces; no medicine is included.

What if my child doesn’t take the whole dose?

If your child refuses, spits out or vomits medicine, or you’re unsure how much they took, ask their pharmacist or prescribing clinician what to do. Don’t guess a replacement dose. Stories and play remain available whether or not medicine is taken.

When can we buy it, and will our bottle fit?

We’re getting Tailsiee ready for its first families. for launch news. Before you order, you’ll be able to check the price, which bottles fit, what’s included and how to care for your set.

What happens when we call dibs?

You’ll get emails with story previews, launch news and early access announcements. It’s free to join, and you can leave anytime. Joining isn’t a purchase or a reservation.
