Here is yet another toy that makes me want to shout how extremely cool it is. As an adult, I definitely love and embrace technology when it comes to computers, cameras, phones, and other gadgets...but toy technology is in a whole other realm.The WowWee Alive Baby Animal Collection will delight and amaze any crowd! These baby animals are life-like plush animals that are covered in small sensors which are triggered by touch. The animals blink their eyes, move their mouths, and make sounds. They have tilt sensors to "know" when they are upside down and react appropriately.
Each animal features animated facial and vocal expressions that are triggered by the users' touch. We had a sweet leopard cub (pictured) arrive at our house, and I wish I was recording the SHRIEKS that came out of Lily Bean's mouth as she discovered this toy.
The WowWee Alive Baby Animal Collection offers the following animals: lion, polar bear, white tiger, and panda bear cubs.. plus NEW for 2009 are: husky puppy, koala joey, leopard cub, and seal pup. Each animal comes with a birth certificate and family portrait.
Price: $59.99
Ages: 3+ (though with parent supervision smaller children can certainly enjoy this toy!)
