Sounds Around

Sounds Around is a line of toys produced by Hasbro under the Playskool label in 1989, as a copycat of Mattel's popular See 'n Say toy. As with See 'n Say, the front of the device is shaped like a clock face with a number of pictures arranged around the center. The large, arrow-shaped clock hand in the center can be rotated to point at one of the images, then a lever is pulled to play a corresponding sound. The hand spins clockwise as the sound plays.

"Big Bird and Friends": Big Bird introduces his Sesame Street pals.

"Ernie's ABCs": Ernie teaches the alphabet by pointing out words that begin with each letter.

"Big Bird's Farmyard Friends": Big Bird and his friends introduce animals from the barnyard.
