I keep hearing squeaking and giggling coming from Connor's bed?

Connor has a new playmate and as far as he is concerned he is as alive as his best buddy Melos (the Chihuahua for those of you that have not been paying attention.. heh). Though I wouldn't have at first actually thought of the Wowwee Alive Cubs as a toddler's toy its been one of the biggest hits of the year with Connor. He has a Wowwee Alive Cub Panda and his poor panda spends most of his day being drug from one end of the house to the other. I pretty routinely find them sitting together in Connor's big purple chair, Connor petting his panda or "reading" him a book with Melos looking on close by feeling a little left out.

The Wowwee Alive Cub Panda is pretty unique as he really does not have a off or on switch (you can turn him off through the battery pack if necessary though) he just responds to movement and touch. Pick your Wowwee Alive Cub and he will open his eyes, blink, make noises and open his mouth appropriately. He has two touch sensors one in the top of his head and one on his back which are actually very sensitive. Connor's tiny hands and light touch easily activates them when he pets his panda or touches his back. The most impressive part though is the fact that the Wowwee alive cub seems to know if you are moving him about and will respond either with noises or if you lay him on his back he will start to snore and then eventually turn himself off if you do not move him again for awhile. This makes it possible for the cub to sleep in the bed with your child though I do warn you that you may end up waking up to giggling in the middle of the night like I did the night Connor decided that he just had to play with his cub at about 3 am. heh.

Poor Melos he thinks this new "furry beast" has taken his spot but I'm positive that Connor has not forgotten about him. I should note that the Wowwee Alive Cub is not super loud nor do I find him at all annoying he actually makes far less noise than any of my dogs and certainly much much less than any of Connor's other battery powered toys. I was concerned with the fact that the batteries would wear out fast seeing as Connor plays with him so often but thus far we have not had to change them and I don't forsee us having to change them soon which is a huge plus. There is nothing to learn on how to play with them so they are fun for a toddler to play with but an older child would love them just as much. They are currently available in a panda, white tiger, lion and polar bear!



You can watch videos about the Wowwee Alive Cubs on their website. They are available at most major retailers and toy stores but you can also purchase one directly from the Wowwee store!
