Whack & Learn Mole

By Best Learning Materials Corp.
Price $29.99
Age 6m to 3yrs.

This highly interactive educational toy dazzles little ones with its stimulating verbal, musical and light-up features. Each whack or gentle tap on the adorable mole's head triggers a fun and enlightening response. Depending on which of the four modes is selected, children practice and learn the alphabet, numbers, or hear (and sing along with) a variety of familiar songs. In game mode, playful learning challenges are presented to which kids provide the correct answer by whacking the mole either a given number of times or at exactly the right moment (when a given color appears, for example). Youngsters hear words that begin with the letters they are learning and the names of objects that are a given color. They also have the benefit of hearing numbers and colors spoken in the context of sentences. The physical nature of these interactions amply promotes motor skill development, making this multifaceted learning toy remarkably well suited to the educational needs of infants, babies and toddlers! Requires 3 AA batteries (included).
