Toddlers Toys

FurReal Friends' My Cuddlin Kitty Lulu is not your average toy cat. A great new friend for the little pet lovers in your home, Lulu features life-like qualities and five touch sensors will have your children amazed by how realistic she looks and acts. Designed for children ages four and up, Lulu is a neat toy for introducing your preschooler to pets and their care.

My Cuddlin Kitty Lulu Ages: 4+ Requires: 4 "C" batteries (included) Phillips screwdriver to replace batteries

What We Think Fun factor: Durability: Ease of assembly: Educational factor: The Good: A fun, realistic toy that teaches kids about being responsible pet owners. The Challenging: Lulu sheds occasionally (though not nearly as much as a real cat.) In a Nutshell: An interactive toy that feels like and mimics a real cat.

Interactive, Life-like Kitty
Lulu is the size of an actual cat, though her mechanical body is much lighter in weight, and she even sheds--thankfully not as much as a real cat, and you don't ever have to worry about allergies.

Everything about Lulu is amazingly realistic. Her soft white fur and adorable sounds make it hard not to pet her--especially when she rolls over for a tummy rub or cleans her face with her paw. Lulu has five convenient touch sensors located on her head, back and stomach. It seems that Lulu may also be able to detect motion or sound--when you walk by without touching her she will purr and meow "hello" at you. (To keep this from happening you can easily turn her off.)

Adorable and Hard Not to Love
Though Lulu is designed for children, we can see how she would appeal to all age groups including adults--who wouldn't love having a fuzzy realistic toy kitty to cuddle with? Lulu's interactivity makes her a great addition to the family or as a first pet for your preschooler to care for. She even includes a brush for grooming and an adoption certificate that proclaims your child as her rightful owner. Once Lulu sits on your lap and purrs, you and your child will not be able to help falling for her.

As a small warning, since Lulu is electronic, she should only be used indoors and away from water or hot temperatures that could damage her mechanics.

What's in the Box
Cat figure, a plastic comb, an adoption certificate, and four "C" batteries.

The most realistic kitty cat ever! This cuddly kitty comes with a brush and loves to sit on your lap while you pet her. As you pet her, she'll relax and roll over to look at you and let you pet her tummy. She blinks her eyes and moves her ears, too. Kitty even licks her paw to clean her face just like a real cat!

Award-winning Design
Winner of the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio (OTP) Gold Seal Award, the Crayola Glow Dome isn't your ordinary glow-in-the-dark toy. Kids create their own glowing creations, by drawing directly on the Glow Dome and center panel with the neon markers. With six brightly colored markers and two starter scenes to trace from -- or just to get the creative juices going -- there are endless possibilities for designing the dome. When done and ready, kids can turn out the lights in the room, and control the lights, speed, and rotation of their creations on the base of the dome.

Kids can trace or draw freehand with the neon markers onto both the durable plastic dome and the inside glow panel for a multicolored and multi layered glow-in-the-dark experience.

They can also change their display with different light and speed settings on the side of the dome. With a push of the spin-action button, the built-in motor rotates the dome at three separate speeds: slow, medium, or fast. Move the slider on the light feature to illuminate either the inner panel, the outer dome, both -- or have the light flash back and forth between them. Kids will love experimenting with the controls and changing up the amazing effects on their works of art.

Easy as Draw, Glow, Spin!
For a toy with so much exciting possibility, it's incredible how easy it is to begin playing with the Crayola Glow Dome. Once installing batteries, the glow dome base is ready to go with the addition of the inner panel and outer dome, which slide right into place. The only part that can be difficult is holding a starter scene to the inside of the dome while tracing it on the outside. It's easier using the tracing sheets on the inside panel, which lays flat, and drawing freehand on the dome. Once the ideas are flowing, kids may no longer even need to trace to bring inspiring scenes to life.

Cleanup is also a cinch. The two drawing surfaces wipe clean with a little water and cloth or paper towel. When they're all done, kids can tuck the markers away in two compartments on the glow base, making sure they don't get lost.

What's in the Box
Glow dome base, center panel, outer dome, 6 neon markers, and 2 starter scene tracing sheets.

Crayola Color Explosion Glow Dome lets kids draw on the dome with built-in lights to see inside and outside of the dome and creates a flashing effect. A built-in motor rotates the dome at different speeds. Create the illusion of animation with flashing lights.
