Default Help! Daughter wants this thing for Christmas

but I don't know what it's called. It's a bear of some description which gives you a hug. Obviously not too tight as to break any ribs or ought!

Anyone know what it is, how much it is etc? My Mum wants to get it for her, but doesn't want to make a complete fool of herself.

Scoobynet Oracle to the rescue please!

TIA,

Clare

Yes well after the "Mum, I neeeeeed a recorder for school" and then me being an idiot and buying one for her - what was I thinking? She's 5 years old! - another musical (musical ha!) instrument is not coming into our house until self-control is learned.

I can't wait for the violin lessons to start

I think Disney's Brother Bear could be the bear you are looking for

Do a google search

Recorders should be banned from Primary schools. My nerves are wrecked having to endure my young sister and her recorder skills. Even played properly they sound like a cat being slowly strangled.

I think it's the Love Cub, or could be a Fur Real bear. They had em at Toys R Us when I was browsing and fullfilling my personal stuffed animal fetish (whats that called?)

Erm, yes, I suppose you could call it that!

Is that suitable for a 5 year old and does it come with batteries?

Yeah, great idea. But she wasn't too keen on the cold and muddy part was she? I would get her a go kart however. If she's going to be a F1 driver, gotta start her somewhere

No, I think it's a Love Cub as was mentioned earlier. I'll have to see if my Mum has managed to get one yet.

Stupid thing if you ask me, I mean, it's not even educational is it?

Reviewer: A toy enthusiast from NJ
This toy was #1 on my daughter's Christmas list. So what the heck, although it has no educational value I figured it would be good for imaginative play. It wasn't until after she opened her gift and started playing with it that I realized that the toy may offer a more than sensational experience. The broomstick has cute sound effects and ***VIBRATES*** when they put it between their legs to fly. Come on---what were the creators of this toy thinking? She'll keep playing with the Nimbus 2000, but with the batteries removed.


Reviewer: Ashley from TX
My 12 year old daughter is a big Harry Potter fan, and loved the part with the Nimbus 2000, so I decided to buy her this toy. I was afraid she would think it was too babyish, but she LOVES this toy. Even my daughter's friends enjoy playing with this fun toy. I was surprised at how long they can just sit in her room and play with this magic broomstick! A great buy for any Harry Potter fan!


Reviewer: A toy enthusiast from Maine, USA
I recently bought this for my son, Vantro. He's a HUGE Harry Potter fan. Seen the movie 32 times (in the theaters) and made the paper. This toy gives him the ability to fly around the house zapping things. My only problem I see with the toy is the batteries drain too fast and his sister fights him over it, so now I need to buy her one.


Reviewer: poola13 from Ohio
When my 12 year old daughter asked for this for her birthday, I kind of wondered if she was too old for it, but she seems to LOVE it. Her friends love it too! They play for hours in her bedroom with this great toy. They really seem to like the special effects it offers (the sound effects and vibrating). My oldest daughter (17) really likes it too! I reccomend this for all children.
