Play Tips

Children learn so much just by playing—and you
can make the experience even better! Try some of
the following ideas to extend the learning and enjoy
playtime fun together.

Level 1

Talk to your baby about what you see on the
screen, pointing to objects, naming them, and
describing them. “See the ball? The round ball is
blue!” Describe the actions, and enjoy the silly
surprises. They help develop your baby’s sense
of humor! A few more ideas:

• Take turns spinning the roller drum.

• Encourage baby to bounce on the pony to see
what happens next on the screen.

• Clap your hands to the music.

• Add words to the music and sing
them to your baby.

Level 2

Encourage your toddler to point to what appears
on the screen as you identify and name the objects.
Seeing objects and hearing their names, or see­ing and hearing letters together helps your toddler
make associations. Extend the learning to colors
and shapes as you point to objects on the screen.
You can also count along as animals and objects
appear, or describe the action on screen. “The ball
bounced high!” Enjoy all the rich music together, too.

• Tap to the beat of the music with your toddler.

• Sing along with the songs and encourage your
child to sing too!

• Repeat what is spoken to reinforce those words.

• Ask your child to imitate the sounds the animals
make. “What does the monkey say?”

• Talk about what you and your child
see on the screen, describing objects
and actions.

Level 3

At this point your child may be interested in learning
things that are more complex, such as comparisons
in size, shape, or speed (fast vs. slow). Sing along
with the music to encourage rhythm and language
development. Laugh and giggle at the silly sur­prises, drawing out your toddler’s sense of humor.
Make the most of learning opportunities while
encouraging physical activity. Most of all, have fun!

• Encourage your child to keep bouncing to get to
a fun response. “Whee! You made the pony jump
the fence!”

• Ask your child to explain what the characters
are doing.

• Help your child make comparisons. “The penguin
is small; what about the elephant?”

• Encourage your child to count objects on the
screen to foster understanding of numbers.

• Ask your child to choose which learning location to
go to next and encourage your child to press the
arrow buttons on the pony.
