Dress Up Moody Bear

Play Tip!

Many children (especially those with autism-like conditions) have difficulty interpreting facial expressions and understanding why people feel certain emotions. This puzzle offers an opportunity to recognize expressions and hopefully talk about why the bear might be happy or frightened. Try using it with a mirror and perhaps Polaroids of familiar people showing the same emotions. Eventually see if your child can make (and understand) the expressions, then take their pictures!

When the child presses on the picture the word will be spoken and the toy will activate. This is real multisensory learning!
