Abrégé

An interactive alien toy assembly (10) includes a chrysalis (20) that is placed in a test tube (22) along with water that dissolves the chrysalis (20) to expose an alien toy (12) whose super absorbent body portion (18) swells to simulate growth. Control circuitry (16) activates when an upper liquid sensor (32) and a lower liquid sensor (34) are exposed to the water. A light assembly (39) displays a simulated heartbeat in orange if both sensors (32, 34) are immersed to simulate overfeeding, in green if both sensors (32, 34) are exposed to simulate underfeeding, and in red if only the upper liquid sensor (32) to simulate correct feeding. A photo sensor (26) detects time spent in light and dark that is tracked to change the heartbeat, unless overfed. A computer display interrogation pattern (162) causes output of tracked age/neglect information or to go into an excited or coma mode.
