Dance Star Mickey – Fun That Also Enhances Your Child’s Development
In these days of tight wallets, high unemployment, and budget-conscious consumers, shoppers must strive to weigh pros and cons of making any purchase, and toy purchases are no different. More and more, parents and grandparents are considering numerous criteria to ensure the toy they’re buying is a sure thing. At a bare minimum, every toy should entertain, but savvy shoppers are demanding that the toys they buy serve double- or even triple-duty.
Education
Before purchasing any toy, consumers should pay close attention to the toy’s educational value. As a retired teacher, I recommend researching your product’s ability to enhance your child’s knowledge in the four domains of development – physical, cognitive, social and emotional development.
Physical development encompasses growth in body structure, sensory development, motor development, and the nervous system. This is the area where coordination, perception, movement and integration happen.
Cognitive Development is a little less obvious. It refers to the intellectual and mental development which includes thinking, perception, memory, reasoning, concept development, problem-solving, abstract thinking, and language development.
Social development includes interaction with others, involvement, and attachment.
Emotional development involves the development of personal traits. Literally hundreds of books are devoted to this final development area. It is far too vast to explain in detail here, but I will devote more time to this area in the future.
When it comes to domains of development, Dance Star Mickey provides your child with an opportunity to develop listening skills, memorization skills, problem solving, and social interaction. For example, when it comes to problem solving, your child will begin to learn that a specific song goes with a specific dance and predict his next move. As for social interaction, this relates to your child smiling and laughing, singing along with Mickey, and getting you and others involved in play.
For a three-year old, Dance Star Mickey is age appropriate for development in areas of movement, visual discrimination, prediction, rhythm, cognitive development, and a host of other areas. For example, when Dance Star Mickey sings, dances and claps, your three-year old will mimic Mickey, using rhythm, movement and memory to recognize what moves Dance Star Mickey has made and will make again. Memory, prediction, and social engagement are all very important developmental aspects for a preschooler. Older school age children will find Dance Star Mickey engaging, personable and mimic his song, dance and attitude – all entertaining as well as educational.
Mattel’s Dance Star Mickey is the very latest Disney Toy that will hit the store shelves early this fall. It is sure to measure up to any discerning parent or grandparent’s criteria for choosing the perfect toy.
Dance Star Mickey: A Revolutionary New Toy
Why is Dance Star Mickey the must-have toy of 2010? The answer is easy: it combines all the heart of traditional Mickey Mouse toys, is soft and huggable, and incorporates the very latest technology to achieve complex and lifelike movements, speech, and song. In short, there has never been a toy like this in history.
Details are still emerging about Dance Star Mickey and I’ll update this report as I learn more, but so far we know that it is special for a variety of reasons. Mickey walks, talks, and, of course, dances, even performing actions and moves that have never before been mastered in a mechanized toy.
Mickey dances to five different songs. His dance moves include styles as diverse as soul, disco, Latin, and techno. Mickey will even do the occasional moonwalk and tops off every performance with a grand finale.
In addition to dancing and singing, Dance Star Mickey comes packed with interactive games. What these games are have not yet been revealed, so stay tuned for more information. Because Dance Star Mickey presents a fun and unique interactive experience for your child, it encourages kids to get up, get active and dance along, something every parent knows is important in an age of sedentary toys. To achieve this level of technological sophistication, Fisher-Price utilized a new, innovative mechanism (one that they’re currently keeping top secret) that replicates some of the most difficult human movements in realistic and lifelike ways.
While details are still forthcoming, in addition to dancing and singing, Dance Star Mickey also engages your child in interactive games. Dance Star Mickey will retail for $69.99 and will be available in October at national retailers.
Please check back for more information, including possible details on how to preorder should that become an option.

Disney Pins: The Gift That Sticks With You
Walt Disney must have known long before, when pins w
ere limited to utilitarian purposes, that a pin had much greater value than to be hidden under a shirt. He probably surmised that a pin could be more than an enhancement to a Christmas sweater. He had to know that Great Aunt Gurtie’s broach was a treasure, not because of its eye appeal, but because it made an emotional connection to an event, evoking happy memories ever after. So, with that idea in mind, Disney created their famous Pin Collections.
There are pins for everything — Disney Movies, Disney Characters, Disney Theme Parks, Disney Celebrations… the list goes on and on. If you are a collector, you will absolutely fall in love with Disney Pins. They are affordable, starting as low as $4.99, fun, and a hobbyist dream come true! The amazing artistic detail that goes into each and every Disney Pin is never compromised and as in all Disney artistic endeavors, each one is unique and original.
If you are a Grandma (like me), you might start a Disney Pin Collection for your grandchildren. If you’re a new mom, begin a collection to mark milestone events in the life of your little one. There are even Disney Pin Collector’s Clubs and Disney Pin events. You don’t even need a reason. For hardcore collectors, it’s all about the pin.
