My 4 year old loves to run around the house in little nylon fairy wings and tutus, etc. She got this set of wings for her birthday. When you first take them out of the box, you must insert the wings into the base and set the switch on the back of the base to the "on" position. Then, adjust the straps to fit your child and fasten the straps in a criss cross fashion. Then press the star button to activate. To get the wings to flap, the child bends over 45%. The wings will flap (in 1 of 4 speeds) and play some "fairy wand/magical" sound effects for approximately 10 seconds. The child does not have to stay at the 45% angel after the wings have started moving. They can stand straight and run around. The tipping motion simply triggers them to start. To activate them again, just bend over again. The wings will flap at a slightly different speed with a slightly different sound effect. (It just rotates through all 4 speeds/sound effects.) It will, if not activated for a while, turn itself off. You just have to hit the star button again to "wake it up". Turn the switch on the back to the "off" position to conserve battery life.

I gave this 4 stars for education for its encouragement of imagination. We haven't had it very long, but it's been durable thusfar. My daughter certainly thinks they are fun!

To make the wings flap/play the sounds, the child has to bend way over (the directions say 30-degree angle, but we find it's more like 90-degrees) then stand back up. We had to try this several times to get the wings to work. They play for a few seconds, then stop, and you have to bend over again to get them going. Finally, my child crawled around on the floor and found that crawling kept the wings flapping/playing sounds for the most part, but they sometimes shut off and won't come back on for several seconds, or until we reset it by shutting them off and on. We bought these for $21.99. When they work, my daughter loves them. The box says they play music, but that's a stretch of the imagination. They play sound effects you would expect to hear when a fairy waves a wand, etc.

My daughter got these for her 7th birthday in October. At first I couldn't figure out how to make them work, but after I read the instructions (duh) they worked just great. I let her wear them to a birthday party (not her own) and to school for Halloween and they're still in great shape. The batteries are still going strong. With care, these wings will last a long time.

These things are SOO great. The wings move several diffrent ways and make magical sounding music. I love it. I can't even describe the look on my daughters face as she flits around thehouse with flapping wings. It is wonderful

If anything this will get your kids up off the couch. When they bend forward and the wings start flapping its hard for them not to start giggling and take off running. Pretty fun to watch. I even had to try it and I think my other half got video but I will not be posting that. Pretty solid build. Kids have other toys to play with so its been shelved but it will be fun to bring it out every once in a while.

These have been so much fun. The trick is to tell your child to bend over and then the music plays and the wings flap. There are two settings, one when it flaps and plays, or one with just music. Hours of fun, especially if the kid is into ponies and horses. It gives the child a piece of a dream, acceptance in the magic world as a real pegasus. All of my daughter's friends love it as they get their turn to be one. So worth the money. People who say differently don't know how to work this. We had this two years and it never broke, we never even changed the batteries.

i got dis toi and it broke reely kwikly i dont like it nun dont git it at al. it uzes a lot of baturees and dont mace much sound
