TROUBLESHOOTING / CARE & MAINTENANCE
This activity only appears in the Watch & Learn mode. Teach baby
to start talking with his or her hands. Research has proven that
babies who sign learn to speak earlier, experience less frustration,
and benefit intellectually. Watch as Uniqua introduces baby signs
including “fish,” “sun,” “flower,” “pie,” and “goodbye.”
CARE & MAINTENANCE
1. Keep your V.Smile Baby™ clean by wiping it with a slightly damp cloth.
Never use solvents or abrasives.

Please note that focusing on a television screen at close range for a prolonged
period of time may cause fatigue or discomfort. We recommend that children
take a 15-minute break for every hour of play.
