Tolo Bio First Friends Farmhouse

How to play with the Tolo Bio First Friends Farmhouse?

Babies age 12+ months:
Show your child all the features of the house, such as front door, roof, windows etc. Encourage independent exploration of the house but if necessary show how the house opens up to reveal the inside. Assist your child in arranging the furniture and dolls. Show them that the door opens, just like in a real house! Encourage your child to play with the character inside and outside the house – relate it to your own house and the activities you do there. Show your child how to close the house up and encourage them to tidy up the pieces into the house when they have finished playing.

Babies age 18+ months:
Encourage your child to open out the house by themselves and arrange the items inside.
Talk about the appearance of the house – introduce younger children to new language such as roof, chimney, windows, fence, garden path. etc.
Ask older children to tell you what all these features do and why they are useful to us – eg, the windows let in light so the house isn′t too dark inside.
You may like to bring in other First Friends characters and pets and ask your child to talk about the family that might live there.
Encourage your child to pack and tidy up the house after he/she has finished playing and to lift it by its easy carrying handle.
