INTRODUCTION TO THE TOY
Chicco Talking Farm – a talking toy.
The Chicco Talking Farm has a range of fun activities with 3 learning phase modes allowing children to famil-
iarise with their first words and first numbers.
When children reach about 12 months of age, they start to discover the meanings of works and associate
them to objects and situations within their family life. Starting from a few single words, children then gradu-
ally learn to construct short sentences which become increasingly more complex until they can actually
hold a conversation.
Chicco's Talking Farm has a cute teddy bear, lots of fun animals, tunes and sound effects to stimulate the
imagination of children, tempting them to experiment their verbal and mnemonic skills, associating the
words to the buttons and the numbers to the characters on the Farm. The dynamic setup of the toy gives
children the chance to check whether their answers are right or wrong and gain confidence in their own
skills and abilities.
Chicco Talking Farm – a bilingual toy
Whilst playing with the Chicco Talking Farm, it is possible to introduce children to a second language after
they have mastered the words and the play activities in their mother tongue.
An informal and playful approach can encourage children to master a second language at an extraordinary
speed. From 2 years of age onwards, children can start to familiarise with a second language: an early ap-
proach is ideal as children develop a higher level of linguistic awareness that can become a very useful
instrument when they being school. To start with, children use the vocabulary they know in both languages
in a completely indiscriminating manner, referring to objects in one or the other language. Only later on do
they manage to distinguish between the two languages and use them in context.
HOW TO USE THE TOY
To switch on the toy, simply move the cloud (A) from the OFF position to the <)) /<))) position, according
to the volume desired.
To select the language, turn the sun shaped selector switch (B).
To start playing, press the talking bear button (C). Each time this button is pressed, it triggers a series of
different play modes; these are introduced by the talking teddy bear, by a funny tune and the luminous
indicator (D) will also come on.
