Adapting Battery Operated Toys

Here a jumping toy was adapted with a battery interrupter. Many commercially available toys can be switch adapted very easily. The battery interrupter was inserted into the battery compartment between two of the toy’s batteries. A small Pal Pad was then plugged into the switch input jack of the battery interrupter. The power button of the frog was then turned to the ON position. Touching the Pal Pad will now activate the frog and cause him to jump.
