A Trip to the Land of Funny Animals is a familiar and well-known scenario of taking a trip to the zoo, which most children are familiar with. This allows adults to expose toddlers to a variety of tongue and speech organ exercises, in a pragmatic way that integrates learning and fun.
Every encounter with an animal in this book contains a focused exercise. Alongside the focused exercises are exercises accompanied by additional assistance for situations where the toddler has a hard time completing the exercise.
- The adult reads the book to the child in a practical manner, demonstrating the exercises for the toddler and mutually imitating the exercises.
- From the second reading onward, the adult reads the story while the child demonstrates the movements that the animal makes.
- Animate and present the book using dolls and practical exercises during play.
- Photograph and film funny faces based on characters appearing in the book.
- During exercises, it's best to work in front of a mirror.
