Using the VTech LoLibird is super easy! First, slide the fabric-covered magnetic egg under your shoulder sleeve and then put the bird on top. You can have adventures with it just like that. To make the bird repeat what you say, press its tummy. If you want to hear it sing, press the music note on its wing. You can also shake it around or turn it upside down to get some funny sounds. Remember to use 2 x AAA batteries to power it up. This toy is for kids aged 4 and up, so make sure younger kids don't play with it. When it comes to maintenance, keep it away from water and don't drop it too hard. If the bird isn't working properly, check the batteries to see if they need to be replaced.
