Description |
Footsie
is a game that is attachable to a crib with small handprints and footprints
on the surface. In the crib, while
lying down or standing up, the baby can kick the raised footprints or push
the raised handprints on the toy.
Music will only play when the baby pushes on the footprints. Different songs play depending on which
color foot they press. |
|
Mechanics |
There
are little speakers under the raised footprints that when pushed begin
playing a different melody and shut off after 20 seconds. |
|
Cost and Durability |
The
material of the outer layer is plushy plastic. The footprint areas are a fuzzy and soft material whereas the
handprints are a harder material.
There are no movable parts, and the material needed is very
inexpensive. The speakers are what drive the cost up. Overall Footsie is a durable product whose
cost can be approximated to 40 dollars. |
