INTRODUCTION TO THE TOY
Talking Farm - A talking toy.
Talking Farm offers amusing activities with 4 gradual learning modes that allow the child to become familiar
with its first 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-confident, as it progresses.
Talking Farm - A bilingual game.
Playing with Talking Farm, the child gradually discovers the existence of a second language, after it has become 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.
HOW TO USE THE TOY
To activate the toy, just move the switch (A) from the OFF position to the <)) / <))) position, according to
the desired volume level.
To select a language, turn the sun-shaped selector (B).
To start playing, press the key with the talking bear (C). Every time this key is pressed, a different game level
mode is activated, which is introduced by a delightful comment spoken by the little bear, a fun melody and
by the flashing of the corresponding luminous indicator (D).
The 4 playing modes are:
Mode 1: press the keys with the animals and the numbers: by associating the figures with the words, the
child learns to recognise them (for example: when the key with the duck is pressed, the little bear
37
says “The yellow duck”)
Mode 2: listen to the animal’s voice and press the key with the matching animal figure
Mode 3: listen to a question and press the key with the right answer
Mode 4: listen to a question and press the corresponding keys; if the first answer is right, the same question
is repeated with the addition of a new element (the name of an animal or a number), up to a maximum string of 5 elements that the child must remember in the same order as they are introduced
by the talking bear.
In the modes 2, 3 and 4, every time the child gives a correct answer, the little bear congratulates it and formulates a new question to which the child must reply. Whenever the child makes a mistake, the little bear
pleasantly warns it that it has given the wrong answer and then repeats the question. If the wrong key is
pressed several times, the little bear invites the child to answer another question.
If the toy remains unused for a brief spell, the little bear invites the child to go on playing or repeats its last
question. After a few repetitions, if the child does not press any key, the little bear says good-by, and the toy
automatically goes on stand-by mode. To restart the toy, the child must press any key and choose again the
desired playing mode.
Every time the key with the female bear (E) is pressed, several farmyard fun melodies are played.
Once the child has learnt the words in its mother tongue, it can choose a second language by turning the
sun-shaped selector and start learning the same words in a new language, following the same procedure as
described above.
In order to save energy, it is recommended that the toy is switched off after use by turning the switch to
the OFF position.
