When the wind-up mechanism is activated, the mommy whale swims and the baby whale slides down her back or floats on the attached boat. The baby whale can also be filled with water; press its tummy to spray water. The toy helps babies develop hand-eye coordination, and may help alleviate a baby’s water anxiety by preoccupying him or her with a fun activity. This product is intended for children over the age of six months. Launch date: February 2008.
