Learning skills

Jet duck’s assembly and activation provide the opportunity to expose your child to the principle of cause and effect. Steer the duck in the water by turning and twisting its feet, or aim the duck in different directions by turning the hydrant this way and that.

Knowledge Acquisition

As the hydrant sprays water and moves the firefighter across the tub, chat about the power of water to create speed and movement. Turn it upside down or submerge it in water to introduce the power or buoyancy.

Imagination & Creativity

The firefighter figure fuels the imagination and inspires imaginative role play. Set the scene for an adventure by starting imaginary fires in the tub and encourage your child to put them out and save the day. Or try out the different sprays using various driving, spraying, and rescue scenarios that you can narrate.

Fine Motor Skills

Playing with Freddy is a great opportunity to develop your child’s fine motor skills. Connecting the firefighter accessories and stopping the wheel and gauge as they spin, strengthen hand-eye coordination and manual dexterity.

Coordination

Learning and fun should always go hand in hand, in this case, the game requires both. Playing with Freddy is a two-handed game in which connecting, disconnecting, operating, and spraying teaches limb movement coordination.

Senses

As it never stands still, unless turned off, the jet duck is the perfect companion for teaching children to better understand the physical space around them. Where is it now? In front, behind, or on the side?

Self-Expression

The opportunity to choose accessories and define the type of water effects that come from Ready Freddy, allows your child to express themselves and their mood in a fun way.

Communication

Freddy’s imaginative role play encourages dialogue and sets the stage for language development. Help your child learn new words by naming body parts and encourage your child to explain Freddy’s adventures and describe actions.

Confidence

When your child is the hero or heroine in the tub, putting out fires, and controlling the spray, it allows them to feel a sense of accomplishment which contributes to their self-confidence.
