Home of Tappy Happy
The Icelands are where every journey into Amoticonia begins. Although covered in snow and ice for much of the year, they are anything but cold. The Icelands teach that happiness is not something we wait to find—it is something we create through kindness, curiosity, gratitude and shared experiences.
This land reminds every visitor that joy grows strongest when it is shared with others.

Meet Tappy Happy
Tappy Happy is the playful penguin who calls the Icelands home.
Penguins naturally invite curiosity and delight, while Tappy’s name reflects the movement, rhythm and shared enjoyment of dancing.
Through his adventures, Tappy helps visitors discover that happiness is not something we possess—it grows through kindness, gratitude, curiosity and moments shared with others.
Follow Tappy to the Dancing Ice Plaza, where every step begins to reveal what makes the Icelands glow.

Take the Lesson With You
Happiness comes and goes, just like every emotion. When it visits, we can help it grow through the things we do and the moments we share.
You could:
• Thank someone for something they have done
• Invite someone to join in
• Share something that made you smile
• Celebrate something another person has achieved
• Notice one small thing you enjoyed today
There is no need to feel happy all the time. Every emotion has something to tell us.
True happiness isn’t something you keep. It grows every time you share it.
