Zoomer Hedgiez, Flip, Interactive Hedgehog with Lights, Sounds and Sensors, by Spin Master - Electronic Pets

Purchased as gift for grandchild who loves it!

With a 5 year old boy and a 9 year old girl, we allowed them to open it together and experiment. It required 3 AAA batteries that were not included, so you might want to make sure you have them on-hand. Our daughter was able to sort out the directions and get it working immediately, and the boy quickly learned the steps as well. For background, both of these kids are very much into interactive video games, and the boy enjoys playing with cars. Our daughter lost interest fairly quickly, after she ran through the repertoire of activities. The younger one, however, took an instant delight with this toy, and I think the limited amount of things the Flip does was actually a plus, since he was not overwhelmed with too many choices. He instantly adopted the Hedgie Flip, and invented lots more things to do with it. It has become his favorite toy, and he even takes it to bed with him every night.
