INTRODUCTION
The VTech® Farmin’ Phonics HayrideTM learning toy will provide your
child with lots of fun down on the farm. Old MacDonald will teach letters,
their sounds, melodies, farm sounds, and even sing the Old MacDonald
Had A Farm song.
Old MacDonald’s farm friends, Harvey the Horse, Clarisse the Cow
and Pumpkin the Pig will teach children manners and their individual
animal sounds. They’ll even join Old MacDonald in singing his song!
Children can play in three unique ways for hours of farm fun. By using
the tractor as a vehicle, children can engage in fun role-play. Using the
removable letter hay bales allows children to build logic skills. Finally,
interacting with the farm animals enhances cooperative learning.
