Hide-and-Seek Stuffed Toys

The Hide-N-Seek Stuffed Panda Gives Clues to its Location

— September 7, 2016 — Life-Stages
Offering children a way to play hide and seek when they don't have someone to do so with, the Hide-N-Seek Stuffed Panda is a smart toy that will provide endless play for young ones.

The toy works by being hidden somewhere in the home; from here, the toy will begin to broadcast whether the included wand that's being used by the seeker is getting warmer or colder. The bear is small enough that it can be hidden in nearly any space around the home and provides children with a way to play when they're by themselves.

The Hide-N-Seek Stuffed Panda can receive the signal of the included wand from up to 30-feet away and will shut off automatically after five minutes of inactivity.
