Little ones age 26 months engage in comparative thinking and gain practice discerning characteristics such as big and small, short and long, left and right, and even color differentiation, all in the context of fun interactive play. Banban' s Little Dock Learning Set's visually-appealing boat dock has four docking bays of varying lengths and widths into which the four included toy boats may be correctly placed, but only if a boat's size corresponds to that of the bay. Encouraging verbal guidance from a built-in speaker (a switch allows the choice of Chinese or English) asks youngsters to seek out specific physical characteristics with which to match each boat to its proper bay. There are also rewarding songs (at times triggered by the child properly docking a boat) whose lyrics contrast size, length and more by comparing real-world animals and other objects. A light-up lighthouse and Banban mini figure affixed to the dock's surface generate a playful and inviting ambience that spurs kids to explore, play and learn!
