• one or more processors;
• a speaker device;
• one or more light emitting diodes (LEDs);
• a sensor component;
• and
• a memory, the memory storing instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the smart toy device to perform operations comprising:
• obtaining, via the sensor component upon the smart toy device being moved adjacent to a first item, a first value;
• selecting, based at least in part on the first value, a color from a plurality of candidate colors that the one or more LEDs are able to support;
• selecting, based at least in part on the first value, a first audio file;
• and
• causing the speaker device to play at least the first audio file and the one or more LEDs to illuminate according to the selected color.
