⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"We love Sylla-Bear! We’ve been using it since our daughter was about 4 months old, and she is always completely drawn in. She listens, watches, and loves the songs and chants. It’s also been so helpful for us as parents. We’ve learned more about syllabic awareness and which sounds and words to repeat with her to encourage early speech and literacy skills. On top of that, it gives us a fun, interactive way to engage with her without turning to screens. It feels like playtime, but we know it’s also laying the foundation for her learning."
