Combining physical play with educational activity, this pony connects to the television via a wireless IR device so that toddlers can interact with scenes and lessons on-screen while they ride. Once in the saddle, a child can select from three play levels and bounce and spin while also rolling the ball on the handle bars. More interaction results in increased on-screen activity, which includes animation, sounds, songs, and lessons about shapes, letters and more. The pony can also play music and sounds when not connected to the television. Launch date: 2008.
