HOW TO BOOST TODDLER LITERACY
WITH BARNABY BEAR
Transform every storytime into a brain-building adventure with these research-backed tips for ages 2–4.
1. Point & Name
Toddlers learn through object labeling. Our 3D illustrations are designed with high contrast so you can point to Barnaby's hat or the honey pot, helping your child build their mental dictionary.
2. Interactive ABCs
Don't just read the letters—trace them! Use your finger to trace the large letters in Barnaby's A to Z. This tactile movement helps kids remember shapes before they ever pick up a pencil.
3. See & Be
Personalization is key. When a child sees their name alongside Barnaby, their engagement levels spike. This "Self-Referent Effect" makes them more likely to retain information.
