Headu designs fun, high-quality games, toys, books and apps to help teach children essential skills using an innovative teaching method. Choose a time when the children are interested and paying attention, and sitting comfortably in a well-lit, suitable spot. Show them the adult animal flashcards, one at a time, saying the name of the animal pictured out loud: “This is a cow, this is a penguin, this is a tiger, this is an elephant..” and so on. Playing with these special flashcards, children link animals to their young then put the pieces together to assemble a large scene with animal shapes. Use the Montessori three-period method to help the children learn the animals’ names. Ask the children to point to or give you a particular card, “Give me the penguin, give me the tiger...” and so on. Reinforce learning by asking the children to remember the names of the animals, “What is this called? And this?” If they can’t remember the names of some of the animals, don’t give them the answer, move on and ask them another question. Try to make the learning process as natural and spontaneous as possible. You can also adapt the three-period lesson to go over the parent-baby relationships, “This is a penguin.” “Which one is its little one?” Can you give me it?” “This is a tiger.” “Which one is its little one?” “Can you give me it?” and so on.
