Providing students with auditory, tactile, and visual sensory experiences while incorporating learning opportunities, Bluebee Pals are a great way for students with special needs to connect with a friendly faced, fuzzy feeling friend.
Clearly projecting sound for easy auditory comprehension, the Bluebee Pals can be used when reading digital books, communicating over the phone, or playing educational games. Simply connect the Bluebee Pal of your choice to your Ipad or other smart device. The plush toy will speak with a calm and friendly voice, and works with many educational apps to provide learners with a fun and engaging experience.
Use of the early learning apps that coordinate with Bluebee Pals offers children a chance to engage in learning activities with the personal touch of playing with a “pal” who is there to cheer them on and witness their successes. Not only does this tool help learners to focus, but gives them something to hug and snuggle while playing.
