How to Take Care of Your Furby
A stuffed animal that talks, sings and dances, a Furby also tells jokes and plays games with your child, friends and family. The toy contains a microprocessor that controls its functions; and a resetting component to correct any problems you or your child may be having with the stuffed animal. Like other toys, you need to care for your Furby, including changing the toy's batteries, cleaning the toy and interacting with the toy when it is prompting you to feed it.
