BB, the first Irish-speaking toy, gets set for Christmas

THE award-winning BB, the world’s first Irish-speaking toy, is all ready for Christmas.

The teddy bear teaches toddlers and children 33 words in Irish with bright buttons to press, and in response the teddy speaks the friendly-sounding Irish words for basic numbers, colours and shapes.

BB is the brainchild of new children’s toy company, Bábógbaby Limited, based in Moycullen, Co Galway. Adrian Devane set up Bábógbaby in early 2010 to provide tools and toys for toddlers, children and parents to learn those first cúpla focal.
