Playtime had just got a lot more fun: make way for Dance Star Mickey - Disney's newest interactive toy sensation! There are few children in the world who don't recognise Mickey Mouse, Disney's most famous mascot, and a lovable character since the early days of cartoons.
Now, with the latest robotic technology from toy manufacturers, he comes to life and encourages your children to dance their hearts out.
He can lead activities and work outs, has multiples songs across many genres, and even tells jokes.
Your children especially young children) are sure to be captivated and charmed by him.
Press Mickey's foot and he can do six dances such as Moondance (ie the moon walk!), Mambo, Techno and Shake Your Groove Thing.
Push his foot again and you trigger the next song after he stops.
He will move his legs, travel around and wave his arms while calling out encouragements and singing along.
Kids are sure to love it.
Another option is the game mode, which is activated by pressing his arm.
Children are sure to love the game 'Mickey Says', which is Mickey's version of Simon says, where he instructs kids of what to do, but - of course- if he doesn't tell them 'Mickey says' and they still do it then they're out and they lose.
This is sure to captivate kids for a while, and parents will like allowing independent play while they get on with other household tasks or take a little break.
The second game option is Freeze Dance.
Again like a well known game, Mickey plays music in a beat and kids can dance along.
When Mickey shouts freeze, they have to freeze and stop moving.
As you can see, Dance Star Mickey is sure to encourage children to get up and dance and play games with him, which is -as we are always reminded- vitally important for children in the present age of TVs, fast food and console games.
It will also keep them attentive as they listen to his instructions and his interactivity will spark their imaginations too.
He is very well made, able to give realistic movements and also has enough options in his voice to stop kids from getting bored.
Even adults are sure to be entertained by the energetic dances and exclamations of this well loved mouse.
It is best to use the Dance Star Mickey on a wood or vinyl floor, because he works with wheels on his feet.
He is powered with 6 AA batteries that come with the package.
He also turns off if he isn't played with after 20 seconds in order to preserve power.
If you want to get your kid active and giggling, then the Dance Star Mickey is a perfect toy for you.
