DISCOVER THE ZOO TALKERS ANIMAL SOUNDS ZOO
Your young child would love going to this zoo! It was yet another quality children's toy playset made by Mattel and Fisher-Price, designed to encourage lots of imaginative play and learning.
With this set, your little one learned to recognize animals through sight and sound. He or she also learned to recognize the animal habitats, which included grasslands, north and south poles, jungle and water.
HOW DID IT WORK?
The set is electronic and recognized wild animals when your child placed a toy animal figure on a peg and pressed it down. It then named the animal and, with a second press, provided the associated animal noise. The set came with a lion, gorilla, polar bear and a zookeeper named Jack. Of course, the set would not have been complete without Fisher-Price's usual assortment of fun music and phrases.
ADDITIONAL PIECES
Additional pieces that could be collected for this set included animals that were sold individually, like an alligator, hippopotamus, camel, leopard, elephant, ostrich, seal, dolphin or gorilla. Additionally, three of the animals came with a book and finally, there were two vehicles. The first, a safari truck or jeep, which came with a zookeeper named Eddy (who had a frog on his shoulder) as well as a lion cub, a giraffe and a food or animal feed bin. The second, a train with a Ferris-wheel car, came with a a zookeeper named Michael, a white tiger and a koala bear. These additional animals greatly enriched the set and the vehicular toys added an entirely new level of play value.

Oh, any child would love this playset! Every child I know loves animals and zoos, so this would be the perfect playset for children. I realize finding one that still works well might be a challenge, but how awesome it would be to have it.
ReplyDeleteMy children were grown by the time this toy came out, but I know they would have loved it in their childhood. I've always loved Fisher Price toys and this sounds delightful. Thanks Brenda.
