       2 . The toy of  claim 1 , wherein the stimulus further comprises one of motion of the portion into which the hardware circuit is placed and a pressure applied to the hardware circuit.  
   
   
       3 . The toy of  claim 1 , wherein the hardware circuit further comprises a processor with a memory containing one or more sounds to be played in response to the stimulus, a sensor, connected to the processor, that is responsive to the stimulus and a speaker, connected to the processor, that generates a sound.  
   
   
       4 . The toy of  claim 3 , wherein the sensor further comprises a tilt sensor.  
   
   
       5 . The toy of  claim 3 , wherein the sensor further comprises a motion sensor.  
   
   
       6 . The toy of  claim 3. , wherein the sensor further comprises a pressure sensor.  
   
   
       7 . The toy of  claim 1 , wherein the head portion is a dinosaur head that has a first hardware circuit that generates one or more sounds in response to a motion of the dinosaur head and the foot portion is dinosaur feet that has a second hardware circuit that generates a stomping sound in response to a pressure applied to the foot portion.  
   
   
       8 . The toy of  claim 1 , wherein the head portion is a rabbit head and the foot portion is a set of rabbit paws that have the hardware circuit that generates a stepping sound in response to pressure applied to the foot portion and further comprising a tail portion having a second hardware circuit that generates a sound in response to a sideways motion of the tail portion.  
   
   
       9 . The toy of  claim 1 , wherein the head portion is a tiara worn by a fairy and the foot portion is a pair of slippers worn by a fairy that have the hardware circuit that generates a walking sound in response to pressure applied to the foot portion and further comprising a wand portion having a second hardware circuit that generates a charging sound in response a depression of a button on the wand.  
   
   
       10 . The toy of  claim 1 , wherein the head portion is a bear head having the hardware circuit that generates one or more sounds in response to motion of the head portion and the foot portion is a bear paw having a second hardware circuit that generates a walking sound in response to pressure applied to the foot portion and further comprising a bear paw portion.  
   
   
       11 . The toy of  claim 1 , wherein the head portion is a unicorn head and the foot portion are hooves having the hardware circuit that generate a horse walking sound in response to pressure applied to the foot portion.  
   
   
       12 . The toy of  claim 3 , wherein the sensor is sensitive to a particular movement of the hardware circuit so that the speaker generates a different sound depending on the particular movement of the hardware circuit.
