Little anglers will love catching fish with the delightfully
silly Jiggle & Giggle Fishing Set™, featuring a smart fishing
pole that recognizes different sea creatures. An update to its
popular Smart Shots Sports Center™, the Count & Win Sports
Center™ adds even more engaging features with an adjustable basket
for kids to make a slam dunk and a target to take aim at in the
soccer net. Babies and toddlers will love following the Explore
& Crawl Elephant™, encouraging little ones to crawl and walk
after him as he moves along. For a surprise 2-in-1 experience, the
Helping Heroes Fire Station™ is a large colorful playset that
transforms from a fire station into a fire truck and includes
adorable hand-held figures for role-play fun. And for toddlers who
love vehicle play, the Go! Go! Smart Wheels® line is adding the Go!
Go! Smart Wheels® Ultimate Corkscrew Tower™, offering a thrilling
playset with two track configurations for racing excitement.
Highlights of the baby, infant, toddler and Go! Go! Smart Wheels
lines, available later this year, include:
Jiggle & Giggle Fishing Set™: Cast into a sea of fun
with the Jiggle & Giggle Fishing Set™. Kids can role-play
fishing, and it's easy to cast the line into the pretend sea. When
the bobber magnetically connects to an animal, it wiggles and
jiggles. Good catch! The smart fishing pole recognizes seven
different sea creatures and each one's number and color. Meet the
purple seahorse who is ready to giddy up, or the happy green clam,
each with its own, unique voice. The light-up bobber even changes
color to match each sea animal! Little ones develop hand-eye
coordination as they spin the reel and catch the sea creatures.
Comes with a storage bucket for accessories. Ages 2-5 years.
Count & Win Sports Center™: Win the learning game
with the Count & Win Sports Center™. Toddlers get their muscles
moving with a soccer ball to exercise their legs and feet, and a
basketball to get little arms and hands working. Make a basket!
Score a goal! The friendly goalie will cheer you on with
encouraging phrases and sounds. It's easy to practice counting with
a basket that keeps the score. One, two, three! Pull down the
basket for a slam dunk. The animated LED scoreboard keeps the
learning and the energy going. Little fingers get a fine-motor
workout, too, with buttons to press, gears that turn and a trophy
that slides up and down. Babies grow fast, and this sports center
grows with them with two adjustable height levels. Enjoy 65+ songs,
melodies, sounds and phrases as you learn about shapes, colors,
numbers and good sportsmanship. Get your little one a gift they'll
be able to use for months to come. Count on it! Ages 12-36
months.
Explore & Crawl Elephant™: It's time to explore! The
cheerful Explore & Crawl Elephant™ encourages little ones to
crawl and walk after him with ears that flap and a bright, light-up
star. This soft, plush animal invites cuddles while providing lots
of sensory stimulation with multiple textures and bright patterns.
Kids build their gross motor skills as they practice crawling and
walking after the elephant. Babies and toddlers can press any
button to get the elephant moving, making playtime easy and
rewarding. The elephant asks children to identify colors and
numbers by pressing buttons. Watch the elephant crawl, sing and
flap his ears in response! This toy's 45+ songs, melodies, sounds
and phrases enliven playtime while teaching about colors, numbers
and more. Ages 6-36 months.
Helping Heroes Fire Station™: Role-play your way to a
rescue with the Helping Heroes Fire Station™ playset. Set the
stage with the fire truck that converts to a fire station.
Firefighters Fiona and Frankie can occupy three different play
levels where they can perform fire drills, check their equipment
and gas up the included mini fire truck and helicopter. Sound the
alarm! Someone needs help! Send a firefighter down the hole and
into the non-electronic mini fire truck. Down the ramp it goes!
Transform the fire station into a fire truck and place one of the
firefighters in the driver's seat to answer the call. Need more
help? Let the included helicopter take off from the helipad. Place
a firefighter onto the Talking Point on top of the truck or press
one of the light-up buttons to hear firefighter sounds, fun facts
and role-play scenarios. Enjoy imagination-inspiring features like
an elevator, fire hose, ladder and gas pump. Accessories include
two firefighters, a mini fire truck, a helicopter and a ladder,
which store inside the fire truck. Ages 1½-4 years.
Go! Go! Smart Wheels® Ultimate Corkscrew Tower™: Standing
an astounding three feet tall, the two-in-one Go! Go! Smart Wheels®
Ultimate Corkscrew Tower™ features two exciting race
configurations, five SmartPoint® locations and Rocky the Race Car.
Stack tracks one atop the other to form an impressive 36-inch-high
corkscrew track for dizzy downhill fun, or set up the tracks side
by side for a dual-track racing experience. Place the Race Car on
the launcher, then push the trophy to send Rocky zipping down the
tracks on a fast-paced ride. The dual-track structure features
off-road adventure with diversions down a secret path with a trap
door, bumpy roads and off-road hazards that will leave opponents
stuck in the mud. Listen to three songs, six melodies and fun
phrases as you play. Rocky is roaring to go! Additional SmartPoint®
cars sold separately. Ages 1-5 years.
