2011 Holiday Toy of the Day: Disney's Cars 2 Spy Tow Mater

Disney's Cars 2 Spy Tow Mater is today's feature in my mom and kid-tested 2011 Holiday Toy of the Day series, which features toys that I have tested out with my kiddos, ages 5.5, 4 and 2.5 years old. (Read previous Toy of the Day features with more of my tested toy reviews HERE.)

This Mater is one of the most fun interactive trucks we've played with. You can press one of his many hidden buttons to play different "games" with him, watch him race around the room or tell funny jokes. My 2.5 year old is in love with this guy. He plays with him like a regular truck and also enjoys finding the not so obvious buttons that start Mater doing what he does best. I'm impressed with how realistic his lips movements are, giving him the appearance of really talking with you. That blows my son away. My 5.5 and 4 year old daughters also love pushing Mater's buttons, especially when he makes fart-type jokes/reactions.
