Answer 1

You're welcome! In Spanish, a jack-in-the-box, the baby's toy, is called "la caja de sorpresa" or "el juguete-sorpresa." Both of these phrases are used to describe the toy where a surprise pops up when you turn the handle. Another option is "el muñeco en una caja de resorte," which literally means "the doll in a spring-loaded box." These are the commonly used terms for a jack-in-the-box in Spanish. I hope this helps!
