When the grandchildren come over, it helps to have entertainment everyone can join. Mickey Mouse arrives as a remote-controlled robot who plays his own music and dances along to it, with light effects glowing on his famous shorts.
Hand the remote to one child and Mickey rolls wherever he’s steered, forward, back, or around the coffee table. When the dancing winds down, more than 180 quiz questions keep the fun going for the next player in line. He speaks both English and Spanish, a welcome touch in a bilingual household or for a youngster just beginning a second language.
Mickey runs on five AA batteries, so pick up a pack along with the gift. Wrap him for a birthday or a holiday morning, and expect to be invited to stay for the first dance.
