A toy includes a housing with pressure sensitive sensors on each face of the housing. The toy instructs players as to which parts of their body they should use in pressing one or more of the sensors on the toy. A number of games can be played with the toy. Players can pass the toy from one player to another using the body parts the toy calls out and try to set records for the number of passes possible without mistake, or can try to set records for the number of passes that can be made within a two minute time period. A third game involves three or four players trying to cover five or six of the sensors in accordance with the toy's instructions. The players maneuver their bodies to maintain pressure on the sensors being held while pressing holding a new sensor called out by the toy. The voice used in the toy also tries to challenge the players to improve on their previous scores.

An electronic toy includes a user reprogrammable data storage device, such as recordable tape media, or digital memory, whereby a user can selectively download program information into the data storage device to change the independent operating characteristics of the toy. The program information is preferably generated by a personal computer wherein program information can be accessed from various media, including magnetic disc, CD-ROM, and/or a remote computer system via modem. In one preferred embodiment, the toy consists of an animatronic teddy bear having a reprogrammable digital memory. The program information, which may include audio data for speech and control data for movement of animatronic body parts, is transferred into the toy's reprogrammable memory by removable cables connected between the computer and a control processor in the toy. Program information can also be provided by, and/or downloaded from a remote computer system. After the download of information is complete, the cables are disconnected, and the toy can operate in a stand-alone mode wherein the stored program information is played back to operate the device. Alternatively, the toy can be operated directly from output generated in real-time by the computer while connected to the computer, or by remote computer connected to the local personal computer.

An interactive electronic graphics tablet is provided which utilizes two windows, one large window for the insertion of a standard sheet of paper or other material allowing the user to draw images on the paper and another smaller second window. A cartridge having various icons, such as animal images, is clicked into place in the smaller window. The device is configured such that the paper overlays a touch sensitive pad. The operation of the present invention allows the user to assign any cell of the drawn page corresponding to XY coordinates to particular sounds correlated to the icons in the smaller second window by touching respective locations and icons.

A toy feeding bottle assembly includes a cup-shaped outer warmer housing, and a feeding bottle which is receivable in the warmer housing. The feeding bottle includes concentric transparent inner and outer bottle sections containing a milky liquid therebetween, and an opaque cap portion received on the bottle section in which the milky liquid is received when the bottle is inverted. The bottle assembly further includes a removable, transparent outer sleeve which is adapted to be retained in the warmer portion or retained on the bottle portion. The sleeve is preferably colored to impart a yellow or orange appearance to the milky liquid so that when the sleeve is received on the bottle, the liquid appears to be a juice, whereas when the sleeve is removed from the bottle, the liquid appears to be milk. The warmer housing and removable sleeve are further provided with interlocking posts and slots so that when an arrow on the cap is aligned with a milk icon on the warmer housing the sleeve is retained in the warmer housing when the bottle is subsequently removed therefrom. However, when the bottle is positioned in the warmer housing so that the arrow on the cap is aligned with a juice icon, and the bottle is thereafter removed, the sleeve remains on the bottle so that the liquid appears to be juice.
