Voice-Activated Spider Toys

Yellies Require Kids to Yell Loud or Soft to Activate Movement

— January 16, 2019 — Life-Stages
The Yellies voice-activated spider toys come as an unexpectedly interactive product for children that will require them to make noise in order to get the mobile toy moving.

Developed by Hasbro and coming in a wide array of different styles, the toys have a cuddly design that makes them a cute addition to any collection. The toys require kids to yell, sing, clap, play music or talk to get the toy spiders moving, which will get kids more involved in the process instead of just requiring them to press a button or manually operate them.

The Yellies voice-activated spider toys are designed for children aged five and up and will react according to the intensity of the sound it detects, which means loud yells will make them zip around their environment.

3. Multisensory Engagement - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design toys that stimulate multiple senses, combining voice activation with visual, tactile, or olfactory elements to enhance children's play and learning.
