The R-Tronic 8-Bit

 

This is a unique handmade toy that will fascinate both kids and adults.

I started making this toy as a first birthday present for my daughter

 

The Sound

 

How to play

 

Press on a shape and it will make a noise, it will put that noise into one of 8 sound slots, the noise will now be made each time that slot is reached. So it is possible to make endless combinations of the 4 sounds. There are 8 LEDs(light emmiting diodes) for each sound slot and 4 four LEDs for each sound. It sounds complicated but its as simple as pressing down on the shapes to activate sounds and let it take off from there.
