Product Information

It also nothing new that something designed as entertainment for children seems so bizarre and nonsensical to adults. There is evidence that exposure to this linguistic tool through nursery rhymes and songs can support children’s development in many ways, especially reading. He lives in a little cave and likes cleaning things, such as his collection of stacking stones, and sometimes the other characters themselves. Designed to create a peaceful atmosphere, Sleepy-Time Iggle Piggle helps children unwind, relax, and embrace a restful sleep.

She has her own special bed, and can move around the garden; sometimes Upsy Daisy has to catch her bed when it decides to run away.Whilst Iggle Piggles head sways from side to side his cheeks will softly glow creating a peaceful and calm environment. The Pontipines enter the Pinky Ponk through a different door from all the other characters, and stay on a separate deck. The familiar game of toddlers pretending they are on the phone is also mirrored in the “Trubliphones” which allow characters to communicate with each other as they wander through the garden. But it certainly seems to engage young children – and uses a mixture of key tools to entertain and entrance its target audience.

He is the only character not to sleep in the Night Garden, because he needs to find his boat, and also the only character to walk on the garden path. Makka Pakka is smaller and more round-bodied than any of the other costumed characters, with three rounded protuberances on his head to represent stones that he uses to make into piles, and is a creamy colour. This is reflected in their play as they begin to shift from experimenting with the physical properties of objects (banging bricks together) towards more symbolic play, perhaps pushing a brick along the floor pretending it is a car. Its head is supposed to move and it doesn't, its very quiet and cheeks don't light up very bright with new batteries.This linguistic element continues in the simple sounds of the characters’ names and the dialogue between them – the sounds are reflective of the way a toddler’s language is developing.

This adapted plush toy offers calming melodies, gentle vibrations, and soft glowing lights, all controlled through an easy-to-use switch interface.So although adults may think the Igglepiggle song (“Yes, my name is Igglepiggle, Igglepiggle-niggle-wiggle-woo”) sounds like nonsense, to toddlers it has instant appeal. He says his own name and the phrase "Mikka makka moo" when he is happy, and also the names of the Og-Pog and the Uff-Uff, and other phrases from his "song" such as "agga pang" (his soap and sponge), "hum dum" (his trumpet), and "ing ang oo". Aside from language, toddlers make extensive use of gestures in their communication and will usually express ideas and feelings in this way before being able to express them using speech. Narrated by classical actor Derek Jacobi, it is a programme which aims to calm and relax toddlers before a good night’s sleep – and has been broadcast almost every bedtime on the BBC channel CBeebies for the past 11 years. IgglePiggle does not speak, but he has a bell in his left foot, a squeak in his middle, and a rattle in his left hand.
