Sing-a-Ma-Lings!

Sing-a-Ma-Lings - Silly little singing things

Part cute, part creepy. Sing-a-Ma-Lings are squeezable plush toys with three ways to play. I say plush, but there is a hard battery box inside the stomach (2 AA), a hard plastic piece in the hand that you squeeze and the mouth/teeth are hard plastic. So it feels as much hard as it does soft. She measures about 8.5" tall.

I have seen different ones and they look the same except color and dress. They also sing different songs. However, it is my understanding that if you play more than one at the same time they will harmonize and sing the same song.

You need to squeeze her left hand and it will go through three settings. For mine, the first squeeze to the hand and it says "sing, sing, sing". This is the setting where it will sing "Oh Where, Oh Where Has My Little Dog Gone". However, for each word you will need to squeeze the stomach, and each time you squeeze the stomach, the mouth opens in an O shape. She has two hard teeth and you can see a small tongue. This is where the creepy part comes in - the sound of the voice is a little odd. You must squeeze the stomach each time for the toy to "talk", so for each word of the song you must squeeze the toy once. Then if you want another setting, just squeeze her hand. After 10 seconds of inactivity it says "nighty night" and I assume turns itself off. Here are the three ways this particular toy will play:

• Sing - It sings one song - "Oh Where, Oh Where Has My Little Dog Gone"
• Harmonize - According to the video on Amazon, if you have more than one you can squeeze them together and they will sing the same song, which was not "Oh Where, Oh Where Has My Little Dog Gone". I only have one so I couldn't test it.
• Jibber Jabber - They called that one right, just nonsense noises.

I had this toy less than a week when my dog claimed it, pulling it out of my cart when I wasn't around. We were sitting in the family room one evening when we heard "nighty nite". Startled for a second to hear an unexpected voice, we turned around to see Gracie intentionally pushing the stomach with her nose to make the doll talk. She was having so much fun I didn't have the heart to take it away from her. Oh well, if it makes her happy, it makes me happy.
