It's simply inflating a balloon all the way. As you draw the arrow back, press into the ceter of teh "bow" with your thumb. The bow will bend as if you were pulling on a string. That always gets a good reaction since no one expects the bow to work. Back to my comment yesterday about Pocahontas. Judy pointed this out to me (but not everyone else) - Why this didn't occur to me I'm not sure (I guess I've gotten so into the big complicated stuff, that I miss the obvious now), but Flit (the hummingbird) looks like a bumble bee, so we've got that one covered. Meeko (the racoon) looks something like a teddy bear. So does anyone have any ideas for making a teddy bear look more like a racoon? Obviously the tail needs to be long. I plan on playing with this, but I haven't yet. I suppose the front paws can be holding something. In the Disney store, Meeking was holding food. Larry
