| JENNI1396's Full Review: Care Bears Figures with Accessories: Wishbear and ... |
Oh the memories! I remember watching the Care Bear cartoons and movies, playing with the Care Bear figurines I had, and just "oohing" and "ahhing" over how cute and cuddly they were. So when browsing Toys 'R Us with my daughter 7 months ago, I was surprised to see the Care Bears were back and with a ton of new toys that we didn't have back in the 80's (at least I never saw the playsets).
I just had to get Jordan a Bedtime Care Bear with video. I also ended up buying the Care Bears Tetter Totter Playset, With Wishbear & Friendbear.
Up and down, up and down, Weeeee, this is fun
The Care Bears Tetter Totter Playset comes with 4 parts, a tetter totter, 2 Care Bears and a cloud with some stars hanging around watching the Care Bears at play.
Wishbear is the cute and cuddly light green bear, with 3 little yellow stars, and a shooting star on his belly. Wish Bear is made out of a hard plastic and cute as can be. Wish Bear does have some detail to him, from his little red heart on his bottoms, to his cute light green eyes and nose. Wish Bear is here to grant your every wish and waving to you as he plays on his tetter totter with his Care Bear friend..Friend Bear. He has a hole on the bottom of his feet, so he can sit on his tetter totter and play. Wish Bear stands about 2 1/2 inches tall.
Friendbear is the cute and cuddly orange bear, with 2 flowers on his belly. Friend Bear stands 2 1/2 inches tall and is also made out of hard plastic, with a hold on the bottom of his feet so he can play on the teeter totter with Wish Bear. Like Wish Bear, he has a little heart on his bottom, to his orange eyes and heart shaped nose. Friend bear is here to help you make friends and so you how to be a good friend to everyone you meet. He has his hands posed like McCauley Culkin on Home Alone.
The cloud and stars is made out of a hard molded plastic and stands about 4 1/2 inches tall. There are 4 fluffy white clouds and 3 smiling yellow stars watching the Care Bears play and have fun in Care-A-Lot.
The tetter totter stands about 3 1/2 inches and is about 9 inches across. The whole thing is made out of hard molded plastic.
The bottom of the tetter totter, is a fluffy white cloud and every time the tetter totter goes up and down, up and down, a tiny smiling yellow star peeks out of 2 holes on the bottom of the cloud. Sitting on top of the cloud is a brightly colored blue and pink heart. There is a heart on both sides of the tetter totter, in between the hearts sits the tetter totter bar and two seats at the end waiting for the Care bears to come out and play. The tetter totter bar is the only part that moves and is attached with a tiny screw inside one of the hearts to keep it from falling off. The bar itself has a brightly colored yellow, orange, pink and purple rainbow on top. The round seats where the Care Bears sit are attached to the bar and have a 1/2 inch cloud all around the sides of the seat and a 1/2 inch notch to sit the Care Bears on.
Can Jordan come out and play?
Jordan just loves playing with her tetter totter and other Care Bears toys in her growing collection. She even told me last night, when I first started writing this review, "No mommy, you can't take my Care Bears and put them in the computer." When we first bought the Care Bears Tetter Totter Playset she wanted me to take it out of the box in the car so she could play with it. She ended up waiting to we got home and first thing out of her mouth was, "Open it, open it, I want to play."
Jordan ended up playing with her Care Bears Tetter Totter Playset for almost a hour, she had to even put some of her tiny Polly Pocket dolls on the tetter totter so they could join in the fun. Out of the 7 months she has had the tetter totter, she plays with it an average 2 or 3 times a week. The Care Bears Tetter Totter Playset doesn't take batteries, so your child will have to move the tetter totter up and down themselves.
They have show and tell every few weeks at her daycare and you can bring in a favorite toy to show the other kids in the class, she has brought the playset 4 times already. When I used to take Jordan to the park to play, she would not get on the tetter totter because she was scared of it going up and down. Now when we go she wants to get on the tetter totter with me and go up and down like her Care Bears do. At least I can say is this toy has made Jordan love tetter tottering away.
Take care of your Care Bears
The Care Bears Tetter Totter Playset is easy to clean, with a damp cloth. After 7 months all 4 pieces are still in great shape and the tetter totter is still tottering away.
Recommendations
I recommend the Care Bears Tetter Totter Playset to anyone, adult or child who loves those cute and cuddly Care Bears. I bought the Care Bears Swing Playset for her a few months back. Jordan doesn't know it yet, my she has the Ferris Wheel Playset that Santa is bringing her. I personally like the playset, it is brightly colored, great details, durable and fun for kids of all ages to play with.
