Fisher-Price Merry-Go-Round

The Play Family Merry-Go-Round was released in 1972 by the Fisher-Price Company. The set centered around a Swiss movement music box that propeled the carnival ride into action when it was wound up. It was ran by the ever cranky mad boy, who lets all the riders know that he's woefully underpaid and overworked. The song featured in the Merry-Go-Round was "The Skaters Waltz". The Merry-Go-Round had 4 seats for Little People riders. The seats resembled animal figures: a giraffe, pig, turtle, and a swan.

Frisky Frog

Made by Fisher-Price, Frisky Frog was a green, plastic frog with a white chest, dark green spots on his back, big eyes and a red open smiling mouth. He made a croaking sound and jumped when I squeezed the yellow bulb attached to the end of a plastic cord. Frisky could make short jumps or long jumps, all depending on how hard the the bulb was squeezed.
