One of the reasons we chose today to go to the zoo was that Fisher Price was sponsoring a kids week there meaning that there were extra activities going on, characters, story times, crafts, etc. After we had spent a decent length of time seeing the animals, we went to check out the activity area. Fisher Price cracks me up.
It was nothing more than a toy showcase before the holiday season kicks in. It was a pretty smart ploy - let y9our kids play with our newest toys so they can harass you for them for the next four months. Honestly, though, I hope they have something else lined up for the holidays, because what we saw today was unimpressive. At one point, a gentleman whose daughter was playing with the same toy as mine was had to ask one of the attendants the age group on the toy. Why? Because none of the three parents there could figure out how to work the darned thing. When we did, it turned out to be kind of crappy.
The ironic thing is, that after the whole scandal with the Mattel recalls, most of the toys were Dora the Explorer and Diego! toys. I mean, this even must have been planned ages ago, but what good timing for them! Come buy our big headed Dora doll - it doesn't have lead. By the way, there was a life sized Dora doll that fell over because its head was indeed to heavy for its body - the woman next to me and I both thought a child had tripped in front of us - a particularly large headed child. One more thing my daughter will NOT be getting this year.
