Touch-activated motion and sounds keep your child engaged for hours of action-based play. Sounds include cool "flying" sound effects, and Super WHY's favorite phrases straight from the show.

What the PPP family thinks?

My almost three year old is a big Super WHY! fan, so we were more than happy to test out the Super WHY Hovering Why Flyer.

The Super Why Hovering Flyer is basically a little toy that looks like an exact replica of one from the show. It has lights, says phrases from the show and hovers across flat surfaces. It has a little fan underneath that allows it to "hover."

My little one really likes the lights & phrases, but has not been as impressed as I thought she would with the "hovering" effect. I think this might be in part to the sound that the fan makes... it's not loud per say, but you can hear it... she doesn't really like mechanical type sounds, so I don't slight the Super WHY Hovering Flyer for that.

My husband and I on the other hand think the "hovering effect" is pretty cool. We used the coffee table and had it hover back and forth and had a great time playing with it while our little one watched... makes us sound bad parents taking over our kids toys huh? Although she didn't like the sound when playing with it just yet herself, she definitely enjoyed watching and observing it in action. Ultimately, I think if she were a bit older (she's almost three) that she would like the hovering effect.

Overall, we are impressed with this toy. My little one loves the realistic look and the phrases from the show... she would like it "hover" or not. Mommy & Daddy think the "hovering" makes it a very unique toy and agree that it would make a great gift item.

The Super Why Hovering Why Flyer is an easy to use and budget friendly toy for little ones and I think my daughter's little cousin who is also almost three would get a huge kick out of a toy like this... we plan on taking it with us next time we visit as a great toy for two to share and play with.
