* Press the ball button and hear him say things like "play" and watch him throw the ball
The Imaginext Big Foot includes a remote control, ball, speech and lots of personality. The remote control has a toggle and seven buttons. The toggle allows him to walk forward and backwards and the six buttons are happy, angry, sleep, fun, ball, and exercise. Press the happy button to hear him laugh, press the angry button to hear him roar and watch him pound his fists or raise his arms above his head and shake his fists. The sleep button makes him go to sleep and features fun sounds like snoring. Big Foot also dreams. Press any of the emotion buttons while he sleeps and hear him dream. Don't forget the fun button for a variety of sounds and words or even watch him "rap". The exercise button makes Big Foot work out. Watch him "lift weights" and make totally different SFX, but watch out. If he works out too much he will say "No More." Press the ball button and hear him say things like "play" and watch him throw the ball. Big Foot also features two interaction buttons on his body: belly and mouth. Press the button on his belly and hear him laugh, the button in his mouth makes him chew and burp (don't worry, he remembers to say "excuse me.").

3. Playskool Alphie - The RobotBuy it Online:
Again technology strikes the lineup of the most popular toys for 4 year old boys this year - Playskool Alphie. This little guy is cute, and has quite a number of fun ways for kids to start into basic learning of reading and math.
Merchant Info: * There's a whole lot to discover when you're a preschooler and this Alphie figure shares one of the most important lessons, too
* Fun and engaging electronic robot figure
* Introduce your child to letters, math skills, special reasoning, cause and effect and much more
* Robot figure sings and plays music and features light up buttons
* Robot figure comes with 30 double-sided cards
Who better to explore the world with than someone who’s new to it? This ALPHIE robot figure is on a “field trip” from his home planet and, with a kooky grin and funny faces, it’s his “mission” to introduce your child to learning. There’s practically nothing this little dynamo doesn’t want to “talk about” — from letter sounds and shape sorting to patterns, cause and effect, vocabulary development and much more, your ALPHIE figure is a whole big classroom in one little portable robot buddy. As his buttons light up, and as he “sings” and plays music, your child’s brain is stretching, growing and helping turn him or her into a super-duper learner and problem-solver. Educational fun on-the-go is as easy as can be, too, with this little guy’s handled noggin and storage spot for his cards in his backpack.
