Sparkle wants your child to learn how to be kind to animals and every time your little one demonstrates kindness or helps to take care of an animal or pet, you give him or her a prized blue token. Sparkle also comes with his own little booklet that you can read to your child and, as your child learns to read, this could be their own very first reader. The book is all about how to care for pets and it is on a pre-K reading level that should be attractive to most kids. Of course, you can use Sparkle and his tokens to teach your child all sorts of lessons. Perhaps after all the tokens are used up and stored into Sparkle you can switch to teaching other life lessons. Teaching with fun rewards is a time honored method of learning and Sparkle’s mission is to help teach your child. When all the blue tokens have been rewarded and stored for good behavior and intentions, you can choose your own prize to reward your child for completing a learning lesson. And, perhaps, if your child is a little older, you can even switch up from blue tokens to actual coinage to dole out allowances, bonuses or other rewards for good deeds. It’s nice to have a toy that’s interactive without your child having to rely on a phone or tablet these day"
