MESSAGE TO PARENTS
Thank you for bringing home BOB’S LEARNING WORKSHOP. This is a
wonderful educational product for your child. It’s exciting to build and
learn with Bob!
Bob will help your child to learn about numbers and counting while they
help Bob build! These are fundamental skills combined to form the
building blocks for future development.
Please read the instructions carefully and learn about the many different
features of BOB’S LEARNING WORKSHOP. This will allow you to easily
explain them to your child in a way that is easy for them to understand.
Please note: BOB’S LEARNING WORKSHOP will not understand a
response from your child if it is made while the unit is talking or making
a sound. Please be sure not to answer any questions while the unit is
talking or making a sound or it may not understand your response.
