HOT POTATO GAME: This adorable otter plays music while children pass the inflatable ball from one to another until the music stops, like in a hot potato game. This unique active toy develops fine motor coordination, teaches young children about following directions, and strengthens social skills.  Easy to understand and play - no reading required.

HOW TO PLAY: Turn the toy ON and select one of the 2 original songs by pressing  the  little button underneath the otter. Sit around or stand up in a circle, and pass the ball to each other, going in a circle or to any player you wish to throw the ball to. The goal is to avoid holding the ball or touching the ball when the music stops. The music stops at random intervals so players rush to pass the ball to never get caught! If you are caught you exit the circle or with a small number of players, you lose a point.

KID FRIENDLY: Pass the Ball with Olie is perfect to encourage exercise and active play. It works well with a small group of children in an interior setting (bedroom, playroom) or with a larger group, up to 10 players, indoors or outdoors for birthday parties, family events or any gathering with friends. Perfect for ages 4+.

This fun interactive toy works with 2 x AAA batteries (included). Pass the Ball with Olie makes a great addition to your classic kindergarten, homeschool, or preschool learning toys and games collection.
