interactive toy

Toy that reacts

An interactive toy responds to a child's actions—buttons pressed, words spoken, movements made—rather than sitting passively.

These toys talk back, light up, move, or otherwise react to input: The interactive toy asked her to find the red shape.

The category ranges from simple cause-and-effect toys for infants to sophisticated robots and app-connected devices.
