Product Description

Editorial Review

If you're looking for tricks, the ones here are comparable to what you'd see with other electronic "dancing" toys, so though you'll find something different, you won't find something "new." But Funshine Bear offers double the sentimental value: for today's kids and for parents who grew up with the original Care Bears. There's a very cheery, fluffy, non-calorie burning workout (as evidence, note the forehead sweatband), but it's performed to Olivia Newton John's "Let's Get Physical," the summer-camp favorite "Head and Shoulders, Knees and Toes," and Cindy Lauper's "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun." Parents will be amused, and kids between 3 and 6 can get a bit of exercise with a fun partner, without the monthly fees. Required: 4 "AA" batteries. Diane Beall

Product Description

Originally 29.99

These fun loving physical bears sing and exercise to three songs. As they do their workout, kids learn various exercise moves. Each huggable, lovable bear has their own special caring mission that is illustrated by a brightly colored symbol on their tummy.

Funshine Bear brings a sunny disposition to working out. A happy sunshine on her tummy will light up any mood. Requires 4 "AA" batteries (included).

I purchased this for my daughter on her first birthday and she is now 19 months old and still loves to play with it. She loves to sing and work out along with the bear. It is very durable since it has been dropped numerous tomes and still works like new.

1.0 out of 5 stars poorly constructed, more tears than fun., January 29, 2006

My daughter got this as a Christmas gift, and within 2 weeks it stopped working. We took the foot panel off and found the wire connecting the batteries came off. While soldering that one back on the other came off. A week later it stopped working again...I'm on to the other foot. No wonder they don't make it anymore and we can't even exchange it. This bear caused my daughter more crying than playing.

I bought one of these a few years ago, well before I had a child, because of my own Care Bear nostalgia. I now have a toddler with a Care Bear-themed room who has adopted this bear. She LOVES it.

Thank goodness the words to "Physical" have been changed so that the bear is actually singing about exercise rather than what Olivia Newton-John sings about. My daughter, who is 19 months old, tries to sing along. She also loves the "Head Shoulders Knees and Toes" even though she isn't very good at touching her toes.

My daughter learned how to turn the bear on (and off to switch songs) when she was 15 months old. This toy provides a ton of entertainment [at least as long as a toddler attention span will hold anyway].
