call review:“I bought these for my 4 - class - old nephew and 2 - year - old niece for when they add up to visit . properly out of the box seat , they were unrestrained and love toss away them up in the air and watching them fall . I was amazed as to how long it kept their interest and the dissimilar ways they act with them . They send away them off the stair landing place , off the couch , in the yard and throw them behind them to expand as they run . My niece liked ' dancing ' with them and twirling it around . Good coloring and very well made . hr of fun and the honest $ 7 I ever spend on a toy ! " — hiker0811
