Let's play with AYAEYO

We designed it with animals that are friendly to children so that they can learn Korean vowels through play rather than studying.
Each animal's name is paired with a sound that mimics the vowel sounds.
When you read a book, try to read the words you imitate realistically.
After reading a book, try various activities with the book.
For example, you can create your own ㅏㅑㅓㅕ vowel by placing a piece of paper behind a perforated bookshelf and tracing the vowel shapes, then drawing or coloring patterns that match the shapes.

Imagine a hidden animal, like playing hide-and-seek.

This book is designed to help you find the animal associated with each vowel from 'ㅏ' to 'ㅣ'.
A single vowel consists of four sides.
On sides 1 and 2 there are pictures reminiscent of animals, on side 2 there are vowel-shaped holes, and on sides 3 and 4 there are pictures of hidden animals.
Let your children use their imagination to discover which animals are hidden.

Look for other words hidden in the background or background.

Besides animals, there are also words related to vowels hidden in the pictures.
For example, you can find a butterfly in 'ㅏ', a palm tree in 'ㅑ', and a spider in 'ㅓ'.
Have fun finding related objects or animals in the background or backdrop.

Find more hidden vowels in the objects around you.

After reading the book, play tag with your child and find more hidden vowels in the shapes or names of objects.
It can be difficult to find objects whose shapes and names match those of the vowels.
Find objects that resemble the shape of the vowel, or find words that begin with the same vowel.

Listen to your child's thoughts through questions.

Ask your child questions like, “What do you see?” or “What animal do you think is hiding?” to get his or her thoughts.
Even if your child doesn't understand or speaks differently, keep them interested by responding positively.
Acknowledge your child's thoughts with words like, "○○ thought so too. Let's take a look." or "It would be more fun if you made it like ○○ thought."
