Fisher-Price Smart Cycle

Fisher-Price Smart Cycle

There are 3 key ingredients to a really successful educational toy: It must be electronic, it must plug into a TV, and it must use TV characters (Dora, Diego, Barbie, SpongeBob) to teach the lessons. The Fisher-Price Smart Cycle has all 3 ingredients plus a 4th: It makes kids ages 3-6 pedal to guide their characters through spelling, counting, and problem-solving games. Which is probably why it won both the Most Innovative Toy of the Year award and the Educational Toy of the Year award. Kids can even race the clock, each other, and the cars on the screen. Sounds like a great way to prevent child obesity and prepare kids for real bicycles.
