    a speaker for producing an audible output;

    one or more sensors capable of detecting orientation information of the block to allow determination of which of the plurality of substantially planar sides faces upwardly; and

    a processor configured to generate a plurality of prompts to be audibly output to a user of the educational toy via the speaker and to generate positive audible feedback when the one or more sensors detect the object has been manipulated so the side with a symbol corresponding to a correct response to a prompt faces upwardly wherein the processor generates more difficult prompts depending on the user having provided correct previous responses.
