Nothing
else than the French speaking edition of the original Stack-A-Round
Clown. In
Germany the toy was sold as Magic Clown.
Five colorful rings, each representing a facial feature make
up "Clarance the Clown's" face. Clarance recognizes each ring as it is
placed on, or removed from, the stacking post. His friendly voice gives the name
of the feature and explains the purpose of each part with a clever rhyme. Rings
can be stacked in any order, allowing the child to create over 1000 faces.
The toy is intended for toddlers ages 12 to 36 month.
The integrated speech synthesizer introduced more than 10 years ago with the Speak & Spell will immediately create funny sounds.
Other toys for toddlers are the Discovery Depot, Listen & Learn, Magic Sorter, Peek-A-Boo Zoo and Storytime Sorter.
