This episode of Beyond the Bump is brought to you by Fisher Price's toys Puppy and Sis 

Puppy and Sis are gonna be your baby's first best friend, sorry! But get ready to be dethroned by these soft, cuddly and education mate. Puppy and Sis respond to your baby's touch with singalong songs and phrases that teach your little ones about parts of the body, colours, shapes and lots of other important first words. Lets be honest, they're also great so that you can maybe eat some food uninterrupted or brush your hair! 

Ahh the good days when food is eaten and hair is brushed. What's also great, is that because all bubs develop at different rates, they have different levels within the one toy. So your bub can advance up the stages as they learn! 

Fisher Price toys are available at your big retailers like Target, Big W or Myer.
