that it can recognise sounds. This talking toy will allow baby to become familiar with language sounds in an easy and natural way, while the different telephone activities will hone its capacity to recognise them. Listening to the numbers and animal sounds several times will stimulate your child’s communication skills, while the lovely song will make baby’s learning a playful moment. A Bilingual Toy: It helps baby to discover the sounds of a foreign language. Talking telephone is fun and

easy to use, and is ideal to approach the sounds of a foreign language in an informal, natural way. It helps the child to develop a correct linguistic attitude, which is so important at later stages of learning at school. Why Nursery Rhymes Are Important: Rhythm and musicality are two of the principal characteristics

of every language. Nursery Rhymes therefore allow baby to learn the sounds of its mother tongue or of a foreign language without effort, in a phase in which it is not yet able to make a correct literal translation. HOW TO USE THE TOY How to Switch On the Toy

To activate the electronic functions of the toy, move the switch located on the rear of the telephone from the OFF to the ON position. The telephone will ring and then say: “Hello? Who is tt?” to confirm that it is switched on. How to Select the Desired Language

When the toy is switched on, the switch is positioned on the mother tongue (1). If the child wishes to play with the foreign language, it is sufficient to move the switch from the left to the right (2): the 7
