The lovely people at Bandai sent us a Tinga Tinga Tales Up down, all around monkey to try out.
Mark is a massive Tinga Tinga Tales fan, he adores Monkey and cries when we take off his favourite Tinga Tinga tshirt!
When our Up, Down All Around monkey arrived, Mark was delighted!

Monkey is suitable for 18 months plus, it requires 2x AAA batteries, but these come included with the toy. The toy has a demo mode, aswell as an ‘ON’ and ‘OFF’ switch. This has come in very handy for us as Marky loves taking his monkey to bed.

I first noticed the quality of Monkey. He is really well made, with emroidered details including eyes, mouth and nose, aswell as the lovely detail that he has on his tail in the tv show. It is a fantastic well made toy.
Monkey is soft and cuddly and is great for giving hugs with his long arms. His hands and tail both have the ability to be hung onto things, such as door handles, or the cot as Mark loves!

Monkey giggles and has a rattle inside his belly too, which Mark loves hearing as he shakes him.

The magic really begins when you turn Monkey to ‘ON’ mode. Monkey has special built in sensors which reconises which way up it is being held, this includes being held up, laid down, aswell as on his back and on his front. The phrases are all things that Monkey says on the much loved tv show, your child will love hearing the familar sayings!

Here is a short video showing a few of the things Monkey does.

There is loads of other phrases and sounds too.

The RRP of Tinga Tinga Tales, Up, Down and all around monkey is £24.99, a worth while price for a brilliant quality clever toy that will provide hours of fun.
