INTRODUCTION TO THE TOY
Talking Farm offers amusing activities with 4 gradual learning modes that allow the child to become familiar
with its rst words and numbers.
At about 12 months of age, baby starts discovering the meaning of words and begins to associate words with
everyday life objects and situations. Starting with individual words, the child gradually learns to build more
and more complex sentences, until it masters a real conversation.
Talking Farm, with its delightful little bear and many amusing animals, melodies and sound effects stimulates
your child’s imagination. The child is encouraged to test its linguistic and mnemonic skills, associating the words
with the keys decorated with numbers and farmyard characters. The game offers the child an opportunity to
check whether its answers are correct, thus making baby more self-condent, as it progresses.
Playing with Talking Farm, the child gradually discovers the existence of a second language, after it has be-
come familiar with words and activities in its own mother tongue.
This informal and playful approach may favour the early learning of a second language. An early approach
allows the child to develop linguistic skills that will help it learn more quickly a new language at school.
Initially the child uses words from its bilingual vocabulary indistinctly, calling an object in either language.
Later on it will learn to distinguish between the two languages according to the context.
