New York, NY (PRWEB) June 8, 2005
Parents continually searching for the best and brightest educational toys that encourage social interaction, language development, cognitive skills, and responsibility can look no further. Language Littles, the foremost creator of bilingual and language development dolls for toddlers and preschoolers, is introducing its newest friend, Korean Young-Hee, as well as launching a new line of Teach-A-Tot dolls that encourage toddlers to get dressed by themselves and instill an “I can do it” attitude.
Early childhood development experts have long known that most of a personÂ’s brain development occurs before age 5. This is also the best time to introduce a child to a foreign language, as they are learning and mastering syntax. Preschools are even incorporating more foreign languages into their curriculum but repetition and encouragement at home is also key for any child learning a new skill.
The family of 12 Language Littles speak English as well as a multitude of languages including Hebrew, French, Spanish, Italian, Greek, Russian, German, Chinese, Japanese, and now Korean. The dolls are each 16” tall, making them ideally portable for continual learning and role-playing in the car, grocery store and even for show and tell. With just a squeeze of the right hand the doll will courteously introduce themselves, and with a squeeze of the left hand the doll will begin a series of kid-friendly words and phrases. The affectionate and caring dolls express “I love you” in English and their native language with a touch to the tiny heart on their right knee. Real children fluent to the language have recorded all of the Language Littles voices designing each doll to speak 25 words and phrases in both English and their first language. They are also available as 8” Mini dolls.
Young-Hee, the newest addition to the Language Littles family of dolls, speaks both Korean and English. Exchanging language lessons or common greetings and her favorite activities such as singing, dancing, swimming, and skating, Young-Hee is eager to chat and ready to join any occasion. At 16” tall, the trendy Young-Hee is dressed to impress. Irresistible to touch, her soft, fuzzy vest and crinkly, iridescent skirt show off numerous shades of pink. Never leaving home without her purse, Young-Hee comes accessorized with a magenta bag to match her shoes. Her black, coiffed hair is pulled into thick pigtails to not disrupt her daily playtime.
Also new to the Language Littles family are the instructional Teach-A-Tot dolls. These friendly dolls guide toddlers as young as 18 months and striving for independence to declare, “I can do it myself!” with how-to explanations for accomplishing new activities like getting dressed and brushing their teeth. These dolls make the transition from toddler to big kid a constant amusement.
The huggable, plush Teach-A-Tot dolls help children learn how to brush their hair, blow their nose, button their shirt, and tie their shoelaces with constant interaction and recognition. The adorable girl and boy dolls speak in a childÂ’s voice and wear bright, removable clothes that feature a button, zipper and shoelaces accessorized with a tissue, toothbrush and hairbrush.
