WowWee Alive Lion Cub Plush Robotic Toy in Tan

Introducing the first friends in a new series of lifelike cubs from WowWee Alive. With super-soft fur and a totally realistic look, this cuddly cub gives little lion lovers a true-to-life experience. Pick him up by the scruff of the neck and watch his legs go limp, just like a real cub being carried by his mother. Requires 4 "AA" batteries, included. Measures 16" long.
Customer Review: animatronic
The lion cub is very cute. We actually bought it as a family present. One eye is missing a sliver of hard material that helps to keep the eye open. We considered sending it back but decided it gives 'her' character and makes her different from all the others. So we don't mind that one eye is a little more closed. But my kids quit playing with her after a few days and went back to their inanimate, cuddly stuffed animals that they've been dragging around everywhere for years. Also, we have a lot of real animals and a robotic one does not compete very well with that. But overall it is a very sweet, cute concept.
Customer Review: WowWee Alive Cub
My daughter loves this cub. She carries it around and treats it as if it were alive. A couple of times I thought she was hurting my cat and it was actually the alive cub. I highly recommend this toy, it is adorable.


My husband and I attended our church's Christmas party and they had a Chinese Gift Exchange. It was a lot of fun. Here are the rules:

1. Everyone brings a wrapped gift of the same cost (it's a good idea for some to bring an extra wrapped gift, in case someone forgets or doesn't know to bring one). At our party, they set the gift cost at a minimal $5. You could even choose to do gifts that don't cost anything... like handmade gifts, or trinkets you would like to pass on, being sure that they are nice and would be appreciated... no junk allowed. The main thing is to try and keep values the same.

2 Arrange all the gifts in a central area, being sure there is enough gifts for everyone there.

3. Count how many people are there; if there are 18 people, number 18 slips of paper 1-18 and place them in a bag.

4. Have someone bring the bag of numbered slips of paper around to each person and have them draw one number from the bag.

5. To start the exchange, have the person who drew #1 pick a gift and unwrap it. #2 can either take #1's gift, or pick a wrapped gift to unwrap. The exchange continues consecutively, each person being able to take a gift from any previous exchangers, or a new wrapped gift until all have gifts. If your gift gets taken, you can then take a new wrapped gift, or take someone else's, but not the one that was taken away from you. The exchange continues in this manner until everyone has a gift. Because #1 didn't have the opportunity to take a gift from another person, they have the choice to exchange their gift with anyone in the room after everyone has gifts.

6. Any one gift can only be 'taken' 3 times. For example, there was a mini Mag-Lite flashlight gift that all the guys wanted. They decided to let the 2nd elderly gentleman keep it, but if it had been taken away from him (3rd time), that person would have been able to keep it.

This is a lot of fun because of the variety of gifts. Because I knew there were going to be males and females, I looked for a gift that either one would appreciate, however, what makes the game funny is when a male gets a gift that a female would appreciate more, or vice versa. This is what inspires people to take another person's gift and produces lots of laughs! So there really is no need to buy gender specific gifts. Of course, you could imply a non-gender gift rule if you wish, to be sure everyone gets something they like, and it would still be fun.

Have a blessed Christmas!
