Fierce Fun Toys

Norman Phartephant

What’s more fun than a barrel of monkeys? How about a farting elephant?

Fierce Fun Toys has taken “pull my finger” to a whole new level by launching Norman Phartephant, a 10 inch cuddly plush elephant who, well, has a bit of a gas problem. Squeeze his tail, and you’ll get to hear one of eight different 'phart' sounds, along with an "oops" and "sorry"! Despite his gassy situation, you see, Norman still tries to be very polite.
As silly as he is, this sweet little Phartephant, also offers a deep, dark secret that parents should never, ever share with their kids – he’s educational. Norman’s story is revealed in a 32-page, soft cover, brightly illustrated picture book that follows him on his first day of making a new friend. Children learn that Norman Phartephant is an African elephant adopted by a U.S. zoo, and the change in his diet is to blame for making his tummy upset. He doesn’t let homesickness and a little gas get in his way, however. Throughout the book, Norman explores the zoo, learns a bit about family structure, different cultures, and geography all while making friends. Despite his gas, Norman's adventures are a blast!
Norman Phartephant has received awards and endorsements from Great Dad.com, Toy Report.org and The Toy Man Product Guide with acclamations of “pretty darn cute,” “hysterical,” “huggable,” and “habit forming.” But, perhaps the best recommendations come from the giggles, cuddles and full-bellied laughter that Norman wheedles from children and parents alike.

You can purchase Norman and his book separately at Bubbadah’s Toys on eBay or Amazon or at http://www.bubstoys.com/, or buy both of them together and receive a cool zippered vinyl tote bag. Be on the lookout as well for two of Norman’s friends, Harry Hiccurs, the hiccupping koala bear, and Ben KaCHOO, an adorable pink hippo with a bad case of allergies. Both should be available at Bubbadah along with their respective soft cover books around mid-Fall.

Parent's Choice Award

1) It's no surprise that Fortamajig and Connectables have earned a combination of twelve different toy awards, including Parent's Choice, Dr. Toy and Nappa!  Kids can easily and safely create their own colorful forts, teepees, mazes, canopies and more, and parents love how easily these durable panels can be washed and stored away.

Dr. Toy Award

2) It's a no-brainer that kids (and, let's face it, most parents) love fart humor, and Norman Phartephant is happy to oblige every time you squeeze his tail.  But awards from The Toy Man and Great Dad.com fortify that Norman also shows lots of brains with the educational tale he relays to kids.  Keep on the lookout for his friends, Harry Hiccers and Ben Kachoo, who should appear in our store early this Fall.

3) The easy-click colorful bricks from the Fisher-Price Trio sets made this creative building toy an easy shoo-in for the 2010 TOTY "Activity Toy of the Year Award!"

Nappa Honors

4) Teaching children good sportsmanship and fairness earned Bicycle Games' 4-Mation card game the Seal of Excellence Award from Creative Child Magazine.  This fast-moving "underhanded rummy game" proves to be a lot of fun too!
