Vacuum™.

ACTIVITIES
1. Number and Counting Play
Number mode offers three games to play:
• Clean and Count: The Vacuum counts along 1-10, announces
the number of Dust Pieces collected and rewards the total
number collected.
• Pick-Pick-Pick ’Em Up: The Vacuum prompts the child to
pick up a specific number of Dust Pieces. It counts
along with each Dust Piece collected and announces
how many pieces are remaining for early exposure to
subtraction.
• Count It Down: The Vacuum asks the child to collect as
many Dust Pieces as possible before the timer runs out.
2. Colour Play
Colour mode offers three games to play:
• Colour Callout: After picking up a Dust Piece, the Vacuum
announces its colour and relates the colour to a food or
animal.
• Light & Seek: The Vacuum blinks one of the five Coloured
Lights and prompts the child to find and pick up the
matching coloured Dust Piece to reinforce colour
recognition and matching.

10
• Catch the Rainbow: The Vacuum prompts the child to
collect one Dust Piece for each of the five colours.

by rolling it back and forth to pick up the Dust Pieces and
hear their unique and fun responses along with vacuuming
sounds.

songs.
