### 5/5 — Perfect for little ones exploring cause and effect

*2013-12-01*

This is a really neat tool for a very specific group of learners: toddlers and learners still exploring cause and effect relationships.   The sound effects and musical tones the child can make by interacting with the dolls are pleasing to the ear.    The child has to place the dolls on the playground equipment to see them bounce, swing etc.  There are shapes to build with, a see saw, swing and more. I I would love to see a watering can available in the flower activity though).  My favorite is the windmill as I intend to use it with my students with special needs to encourage vocalization. I love how the dolls' expressions change to excited as they engage in an activity.
