Smartville playsets are clever electronic toys that, on their surface, don't look like electronic toys. They're colorful plastic with cute characters that engage a toddler's imagination and tickles their fancy. Switch it on, and the playset comes alive with light-up buttons, songs, and encouraging words. This Safe & Sound Fire Station teaches kids about safety. It features big, smooth, colorful pieces that are easy for little hands to grab and hold. The playset has a built-in "hotspot," which is a slot kids can plug characters and some props into to hear the set identify it by name or otherwise react with other phrases, such as "Dial 911. We're here to help." The set has an emergency chute with a button trigger at the bottom, though pieces don't fall with enough force to set it off. Parents will be glad to know that the playset has two volume settings and an off switch. An auto shut off feature conserves batteries when children wander away and forget to turn it off. Inside the box you'll find the playset, three characters, cone and fire hydrant props, and a fire truck. It's powered by two AA-size batteries, which are included
