GearZooz GearBuddies Lion & Mouse

GearZooz GearBuddies Lion & Mouse
Brain Child
Tillywig Award Winner 2018

VTech
$9.99
1.5 - 4 yrs.

GearZooz GearBuddies Lion & Mouse makes for a fine educational toy on the merits of its physical play characteristics alone and yet offers a great deal more than that - singalong songs, playful stories, fun facts, flashing lights, and humorous sound effects. Pressing the light-up button on the lion's side scrolls between these entertaining verbal and melodic features and produces differing results depending on whether the Smart Gear Mouse (which can be mixed and matched with any other GearZooz products) is in place on the lion's back. Even with the electronics turned off, the toy inspires a bonanza of motor skills activity, from pushing and pulling the 4-wheeled lion across the floor to turning the Trigger Handle Gear and setting the 3 inter-connected gears atop the lion's back in motion, a nice lesson in cause and effect. Taken together, GearZooz GearBuddies Lion & Mouse's abundant features provide interactive play experiences that engage kids deeply, sparking endless curiosity, exploration, learning and fun!
