Tolo Bio First Friends – Grandfather

Introduce your baby to the First Friends character(s). Let your child explore the toy and find out which features move and make a sound – if necessary assist and show them all the moving, clicking parts.

If the character does a job, explain what that job is, and what the character does e.g. ‘She′s a diver, she goes underwater to look at the fish or to find sunken treasure!’ Talk with your child about the character′s job – e.g what does a diver do? What sort of things might a diver see underwater? Introduce vocabulary such as ‘sitting’ ‘running’ ‘driving’ etc according to the different actions the character can demonstrate as you play.

Ask your child questions about the character and encourage your child to ask questions back! If the opportunity arises, show your child the real-life version of his/her First Friend′s character and talk about the similarities between the two.

Encourage lots of pretend play with the characters, helping to devise scenarios if necessary but also letting your child take the lead with their ideas as much as possible.
