Apparently it's a law or part of the "Code for being a parent in North America" handbook. EVERY parent that we know has this toy on their refrigerator. And I LOVE it! For those of you who don't have kids- or are living outside of the parent handbook law- this is how the toy works. It's made up of 5 animals' heads and tails magnetic pieces: a horse, sheep, cow, chicken and pig. You (or your child) puts the pieces that you desire into the farm house and press it. If you get a match, the toy will sing this:
"You made a match, look what you did.."
BUT if you make a non- match...say perhaps that you put a duck head in with a cow tail, as Gavin has so keenly illustrated for us below:
the song will go something like this:
"You put a duck in front
You put a cow behind
Put them together and what do you find?
A duck cow?
That's silly!!"
For some reason, that song has brough me hours of enjoyment and I am gleeful at the idea of putting together a chickpig or a cowduck...really the possibilities are endless!! Gavin is quite enjoying the toy as well, although the pieces have spent more time in his mouth then putting together duckpigs...but that's probably because the toy was intended for 12 months+, we're just starting him early, like a pre-AP Leap Frog kid!
I know, I know...that's silly!
Gavin is just TOO precious! And what a great toy! Hard to believe he's standing up playing with it, but he still looks so little in the last picture!! (pre_AP reference is great!) Love you all, GiGi :-)
