We bought this as a gift for our children aged 2.5 and 3. REALLY and honestly the best Christmas present I have ever bought for myself and my husband. They were a little scared when it activated and they started screaming and running around. Then he hears the loudest noise or voice. He turns to him and pulls his ass! I don't think I've ever laughed SO HARD at something so simple. Yes! I am that mother. So give me LOL. I want someone else to do a yellie army hahaha.
