Playskool Kota Triceratop

Keep toddlers amused this festive season with Kota the Triceratop. Sit them on his back and he'll play realistic stomping sounds or one of his 4 adventure theme tunes. He stands just over 75cm tall. Kota interacts and responds to you talking to him by roaring, moving his head, eyes, mouth and tail in response. He'll sniff at your hand if you touch his nose and will laugh when you tickle his stomach. (Now I'm having a hard time imagining a dinosaur laughing, but play along!) He comes with a leaf for food and plays munching sounds when you 'feed him'.
