Grab it by the throat and choke it, and it makes, well, the sounds that a throttled chicken would make.You add a quartet of "AA" batteries. (Open the chicken suit in the back to insert.) On/off switch under the chicken, press the left wing to activate.

The X-Ball is a collection of (30) convex magnetic Xs which will grab onto each other to make nearly endless geometric forms, including a skeletal icosodecahedron. Combine the Xs with the Ball of Whacks' pyramids to create even more permutations. Each comes with a 96pp booklet of creativity exercises.
