Yookidoo Jet Duck Create a Pirate

Imagination & Creativity

The lovable sea raider fuels the imagination and inspires creative role play. Get it ready for a maritime adventure and join its crew as it sets off on a quest to find the hidden treasure. Or designate different parts of the tub to be new islands that the pirate explores.

Knowledge Acquisition

As the cannon sprays water and moves the pirate across the tub, chat about the power of water to create speed and movement. Turn it upside down or submerge it in water to introduce the power or buoyancy.

Learning skills

Jet duck’s assembly and activation provide the opportunity to expose your child to the principle of cause and effect. Steer the duck in the water by turning and twisting its feet, or aim the duck in different directions by turning the hydrant this way and that.

Gross Motor Skills

Catching the pirate as it zooms across the tub is a great way of putting those gross motor skills into action, while your child is safely seated in the tub. Ready, set, swim!

Senses

As it never stands still, unless turned off, the jet duck is the perfect companion for teaching children to better understand the physical space around them. Where is it now? In front, behind, or on the side?

Fine Motor Skills

Designed especially for little hands, connecting and disconnecting the pirate’s accessories to the round ducky shape, is a great opportunity to develop your child’s fine motor skills, strengthening hand-eye coordination and manual dexterity.

Self-Expression

As the jet duck changes characters, situations, and moods, encourage your child to take part in emotional discourse. Is it happy? Sad? Scared? Excited? Does it enjoy bathing? Allow the pirate to help start conversations.

Communication

Imaginative role play with the lovable pirate, encourages dialogue, and sets the stage for language development. Help your child learn new words by naming accessories and encourage your child to explain and describe actions.

Confidence

Creating a one-of-a-kind character through effort and creativity, and watching it come to life at the press of a button, provides children with a great sense of achievement and self-worth, and boosts their confidence. Scooping up all the accessories provides a true sense of achievement.

• With its batteries in place and the tub about 4 inches (10 cm) full, the jet duck pirate can be turned on for hours of non-stop swimming and splashing fun.
• Press the on/off button on the front of the base, and off it goes… ‘Arrgh!’
• Swivel the water cannon and turn or remove the pirate’s duck feet to change its swimming path. Can you make it swim in circles?
• Connect the 15 accessories to create any character, from a friendly pirate to the silliest sea creature.
• When the sea raider is ready to call it a day, scoop its accessories into the blue container, attach it to the side of the tub, and place the pirate on top, ready for another exciting bath tomorrow.
