Sunny invites participation in 300+ activities with four disks and more than five hours of fairy tales, classic songs, guessing games, a poem creator, silly jokes, tongue twisters, daily routines and much more. Her animated face and movements add emotion and expression to jokes, stories and songs, inviting kids to respond as she asks them what they think. Sunny teaches healthy habits, encouraging good manners, brushing teeth and mindfulness exercises. Cleanup time is easy with a dedicated disk rack to store the four disks. When the day is done, take a quiet moment with Sunny as she leads kids in a bedtime routine. Set her gentle alarm, then fall asleep to her softly glowing night-light. (Ages 3+ years; MSRP: US$59.99)
Style & Glam On Unicorn™: It’s a magical day when you play with the Style & Glam On Unicorn™. Let’s accessorize! Choose from six glamorous accessories to decorate the unicorn’s horn and tail. The ribbon is purple! Hear the unicorn describe each accessory and explore colors, counting, feelings and more. Coordinate the color of the unicorn’s star by pressing the gem on her necklace. As she plays dazzling sounds, place an accessory on her horn to see her star change color to match. Add music to the colorful dress-up party by pressing the music button. The unicorn will play five- or ten-minute songs and her horn and star will flash to the beat. Flap her wings to help her fly and together you’ll sparkle wherever you go!

Drill & Learn Workbench™: What do you want to build today? Get started with the Drill & Learn Workbench™. The workbench can be assembled for the first DIY project using the included power tools. Then, use the hand tools to hang the clock on the peg board with the wrench or screw in the pegs to hang the tools. Three cool power tools make quick work of any project. Explore the drill press, sander, and circular saw, and hear sounds and facts about each one when placed on the bench. Let’s build something special! Build discovery with nine project ideas young builders can make with the included tools and building pieces. Light-up buttons introduce the drill, saw, screwdriver, vise, and hammer, their colors, and a little joke—nailed it! Three modes help kids explore all the tool-riffic things the workbench has to offer, listen to music while they work, and show off their discoveries in Quiz mode. Keep a tidy workspace with storage and trays that hold all the tools and building pieces when not in use. You’re a fantastic fixer! (Ages 3-6 years; MSRP: US$49.97)
