This little piggy ......

........ was bought for Evan for his first birthday. As a baby he really wasn't that interested in it, he liked to pick up the plastic discs & chew them, but he didn't really understand how to play with it. It's been hiding since then at my parents house, ready for the next generation of grandchildren but look who found it recently on our trip to Annmas house.

Telling Mummy the colours

Closing the door to the piggy bank

Counting out the coins

Laugh & Learn™ Learning Piggy Bank™

Evan spent all afternoon playing with his 'Piggy'. We used it to learn about counting, colours, animals and sizes with songs, music, & speech. There are 10 colorful coins to drop into the piggy bank’s slot while counting along, comparing big and small, and discovering mummy and baby animals. The piggy has a big red snout & when you press it, various songs play. It has a door on it's side which is used for put-and-take out play, and we enjoyed the sing-along songs. They go like this:  

"WOOOOOOOAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!! I'm a Piggy Bank, with some coins big and small. In lots of colours, you can learn them all! We've got red and yellow, we've got orange and blue, what's your favourite colour? Here's some green ones too! Let's count the coins! From one to ten! When we're all done, we'll count them again! One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, [dooby, dooby, dooby, dooby] eight, nine, ten!"
This catchy jingle, is just one of three sung by the piggy another is:

"I am a Piggy Bank, I have a Piggy snout, You can put coins in my slot, and you can take them out. The coins go in the top. Can you hear them drop? Come on and open up the door so we can play some more." I liked this one the best!

We decided to keep piggy at Annmas. We had a great afternoon playing with him, but I think Evan could get easily bored with it if he was at home. Keeping him at Annmas means that we only get to see him a few times a month so he will stay fresh & exciting.  In a nutshell: piggy teaches, Numbers, Counting, Colours & Animals.
