An interactive toy plaything, method, and computer program product, monitor input signals from input devices such as an audio input device, a visual image input device, and a haptic detector, to determine that the interactive toy plaything is being interacted with and that interaction-related information corresponding to the interaction with the interactive toy plaything is to be communicated with at least one remote entity. The availability of the at least one remote entity to communicate with the interactive toy plaything over a wireless communication network is determined. If it is available, wirelessly transmitting the interaction-related information to the at least one remote entity over the wireless communication network. A remote entity can be a mobile phone.

A light-emitting toy assembly including a field generator that includes a first transmitting coil configured to inductively transmit energy and an object. The object includes a body, at least a part of which is translucent, at least one receiving coil configured to inductively receive energy from the first transmitting coil, and a lighting element having at least one light emitting diode that is configured to receive a current from a corresponding one of the at least one receiving coils. At least one of the first transmitting coil and the object is movable with respect to the other of the first transmitting coil and the object. A change in a rotational orientation of at least one of the first transmitting coil and the object alters a lighting state of the lighting element.

A noise making assembly for a toy having a compressible bladder with an orifice for permitting air to pass in and out of the bladder. The noise making assembly includes a noise producing element and a housing for supporting the noise producing element proximate the orifice. The housing includes a hollow body portion, an enlarged concave-shaped head attached to the first open end of the body portion for preventing the housing from being pushed inside the bladder, and a number of circumferentially-spaced prongs attached to the outer wall of the body portion to prevent the noise making assembly from becoming dislodged from the bladder.
