My DS just a got a 'Rolling Roly Mo' for his 2nd birthday...and...

[fastasleep]

He's absolutely terrified by it! His Aunty brought it in, pressed the hideous thing's nose and it started belting out a song at deafening volume, then curled into a ball....phew.... one of us then nudged the awful creation with the toe of a shoe as if to hide it under something, anything.. at which it sprung into life with a threatening jump and a plastic crack by now DS was cowering behind the sofa repeating 'no roly no roly no' and clutching his knees.... and DD was howling!

here looks much better then the cheap pile of felt and plastic that it really is! (Bloody waste of money!)

ebay!

DS1 had a toy that he was terrified of for the first couple of days - curiosity soon got the better of him and I'm still not allowed to get rid of it now (he's 5 )!

Would they mind on ebay if the packaing had been torn to smithereens by an excited young un?

I'm sure that they wouldn't lol

Of course there's always ceremonial burning........................

Oh noooo QoQ noooo I'm not keen on scary, jumpy toys that always go off when DH is out and I'm all alone....and make me jump and nearly pee myself!

oo happy birthday to T

also agree about ebay just put it on as brand new with no bix and explain why.

box even not bix!!

Ceremonial burning sounds like the perfect option - introduce Theo to 'The Ways of Liverpool' and start a big bonfire for his second birthday!

we have a sleeping Ernie (from Sesame Street). It's about 10 years old.

Even though we've never replaced the batteries every so often (in the middle of the night) we sometimes hear...........

ooh I need a nap!

It's good to lay down.

Twinkle twinkle little star.........

Snore............. snore......................

Freaky!

Lol thanks Nemo, it's tomorrow... but we let him have his leap-pad thingy and his pressy from his Aunt early

(the leap-pad's bloody noisy enough, 'press the cow' 'Cow, moooo, cow mo...cow...co..co..co..c..c..c' 'Theo stop pressing the button!!!'

Yay. Can't wait for tomorrow! Lol

shudders we have a shape sorter than makes music if you roll it, when a draft hits it (usually 3am lol) it starts playing freaky music... I hate those toys, I think I'm going to sneakily make them disappear.... he likes his kitchen and his teddy best anyway..

when we moved we thought we'd lost Ernie... but oh no!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dropped a box and ........ twinkle twinkle little star...............

same here Fas with my DD (16m) as she first saw it when she was 7m old and i didnt know that it jumped up - poor baba was wwwaaaaaiiillliiiinnngggg!! .. even i jumped too!

HAPPI BIRTHDAY TO T

FA we have a ton of toys like that and as soon as we put them in the toy box they go off in chorus...arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh usually try a swift kick which sets them off again but makes me feel slightly better.
Although now A thinks this is a great game to make mummy loose the plot

ARGH like a Steven King novel!!

Don't remind me about the little monkey with cymbols my Mum passed down to me, why do the windy upy bits always half die and then months later....urgh... that gave me nightmares!

Lol Nemo, you poor thing!

Thanks BL

nemo - esp that helicopter - i can still hear it!!!!!

lmao bl I have instructed dh to take the batteries out of that tonight when A is in bed...arghhhhhhhhh

AAAAARGH!!!

heart pounds

DH gone to pub, a thread about scary toys, and then DD's rabbit falls off the rack were it's drying next to me and takes all the clothes with it... jumped out of my skin!!

wrack*

oh dear Lord... it is a Stephen King novel!!!!!!!!!!!!!
