Product Description

Editorial Review

Shake, rattle, and wobble! Sitting 10 inches tall, Magic Rattle Pooh is a young likeness of the honey-loving bear, right down to his too small red T-shirt. In his left hand he holds a small plastic rattle, a miniature of the one included for tots. When the child shakes the rattle in front of Pooh, a motion sensor detects the movement and causes the bear to react. Pooh's rattle lights up, his head rolls from side to side, his body rocks back and forth, music plays, and he babbles in words that only a toddler would comprehend. The same effect happens when hands pick him up, drop him, or just jiggle him around. Bonuses are that he never topples over, the volume level isn't deafening, the actions and sound are pretty cute, and he's surprisingly huggable. Magic Rattle Pooh shuts off once small hands stop moving the rattle (or Pooh himself), or he can be manually turned off by a switch on the covered battery box. Batteries are included. --Pam Lauer

3.0 out of 5 stars A DISAPPOINTMENT, October 2, 2002

By A Customer

We recently bought this toy for our son who is 6 months old after seeing the commercials. It is a cute idea but needs some improvements. First, Pooh's voice is very unclear and hard to understand. Second, the child's rattle needs to be shook vigorously in order to get the toy to work. The rattle needs to be at a certain proximatly and angle to get the toy to respond. Even my husband and myself have had difficulty getting it to work. Also, the toy needs to be pushed in the stomach to get started. We have found that we need to do this for our son. He is still too little to know how to do that on his own, even though it says it is for his age. Our son prefers to just play with the rattle itself and doesn't really seem interested in the stuffed toy. Maybe he will become more interested as he gets older. I would recommend saving your money on a toy that is more educational and of a better quality.

2.0 out of 5 stars NOT AS CUTE AS THE COMMERCIAL, October 1, 2002

By A Customer

= Durability:4.0 out of 5 stars  = Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars  = Educational:3.0 out of 5 stars 

We saw the commercial for this toy and immediatly wanted to get it for our son who is 6 months. After unwrapping it, which took quite a while due to the packaging we were somewhat disappointed. In order to get Pooh to dance etc. the baby's rattle needs to be very close to the toy. The baby also needs to "really" shake his rattle quite vigorously to get Pooh to work. The toy itself is cute but smaller than imaged in the commercial. One other drawback..... to get the toy to start his tummy has to be pushed. We find that we need to do that for our son. The dancing and music captures my son's attention. Unfortunatly, Pooh's voice is very distorted and hard even for adults to understand. This was a very good idea for a toy but could use some improvements.

Our son loves this toy! It is so funny to watch Pooh 'wiggle around' when the baby shakes the rattle - our son laughs and smiles and his voice will actually activate Pooh's wiggling, so he laughs that much harder!! A great gift - Magic Rattle Pooh is definitely entertaining!
