Abstract:
A toy play set comprising:(a) a body portion comprising: (i) sound reproduction means; (ii) processing means comprising an integrated circuit comprising pre-programmed data adapted to be converted to audible sounds by said sound reproduction means; (iii) a source of electrical power to power said integrated circuit and said sound reproduction means; (iv) a base comprising first location means and sensor means; (v) said sensor means adapted for electromagnetic communication with said integrated circuit; (b) a play item comprising: (i) second location means; (ii) status means adapted to be sensed by the sensor means; said first location means adapted to co-operate with said second location means to locate the play item adjacent the base;such that when the play item is located adjacent the base and its status means is sensed by the sensor means, said sensor means generates a signal which is particular to said play item, said signal is transmitted to said integrated circuit, said integrated circuit generates a data segment from said pre-programmed data which data segment is appropriate to said play item, and said data segment is audibly reproduced by said sound reproduction means.
