is the puzzle toy with barn yard animals. If you put the animal shape over the spot where it goes, the light detection sensor will make the animal sound and a kid's voice calls out the animal's name.

If all of the animals are covered up, it will play B-I-N-G-O. Well, when it starts to get dark out or if we turn all of the lights off and forget to turn off that stupid puzzle toy, we are greeted by an eerie chorus of children singing "There was a farmer had a dog..."

I walked down a toy aisle today at the store and random toys started yelling at me. It's either sensors or I need to get more sleep.

Possibly a motion sensor, ?? Grey Jan 2014 #1
