The toys, which range in price from $14.99 to $24.99, are designed to let kids role-play and connect with their parents, according to Chuck Scothon, senior vice president of Fisher-Price and global head of infant and preschool for Mattel, the parent company of Fisher-Price.

"At Fisher-Price, we’ve always been focused on making playtime more fun by infusing surprising and playful elements into our toys," Scothon said in a blog post announcing the new toys. "In the infant and preschool categories especially, we have deliberately focused on introducing toys that get parents and caregivers laughing, too."

"This collection features a number of actions that kids are seeing the adults in their lives do now more than ever," he wrote.
