Which appeared on our market relatively recently. This review is about this interactive pet. Therefore, if you want to know in more detail what kind of toy it is and how to play with it, read this article to the end.

What is this toy

Hatchimal's Big Egg is a surprise toy manufactured by Spin Master. Before buying, you can not know in advance who will be inside the egg. Penguins or dragonflies of different colors can be caught in an egg. These interactive toys are an innovation on the market: for the first time, a child can trace the entire development cycle of his pet - from hatching from an egg to the complete formation of a “personality” of a pet. At the same time, with the passage of all stages of formation and development, the toy will not change outwardly - the changes will concern only the capabilities of the pet.

These chicks in their development go through several stages, each of which differs from the rest:

How to open an egg

Many people are interested in how to open a hatchimals egg to quickly see which pet is inside. The answer is simple: the more a penguin or dragon receives attention, the more you play with it, the more actively it will develop and, accordingly, the faster it will hatch from an egg. To speed up the process, stroke the egg in the lower part - the pet will begin to hit the shell with its beak, thereby breaking the egg. When most of the shell is broken, remove the top of the egg and take the pet.

Toy options

Hatchimals small eggs can hide inside one of two characters - a dragon or a penguin. Moreover, each of the species of animals can have 4 different colors. Buying a toy in an egg, you can’t know in advance what color pet you got.

Here are the options provided in the delivery:

• Penguin - pink, belly and tuft of white;
• Penguin - red, belly yellow, tuft of blue;
• Penguin - lilac, green stomach, purple tuft;
• Penguin - green, tuft and belly yellow;
• Drakosha - blue, blue stomach;
• Drakosha - green, belly light green;
• Drakosha - dark blue, lilac belly;
• The dragon is purple, the stomach is white.

Little dragons and penguins are slightly different in character. So, the baby penguin is very energetic, courageous and at the same time modest and funny. Penguins are best suited as gifts for girls. The baby dragon is a kind, naive and very friendly pet. Little dragons are good for boys.

Benefits of Hatchimals

Hutchimal's egg is a good present for children who love surprises and like to care for small pets. Your child will be able to deal with this toy himself, launch its transformations and actions that it will perform in a playful and very interesting manner.

This toy is also good because your kid, doing Hatchimals, will be able to understand that little pets need to be looked after and loved. From this game he will receive invaluable experience that will help him in real life to properly and carefully treat all living creatures.

Each stage of the development of the Hatchimals toy is interesting in its own way. But if you need it, you can at any time reset the settings to the initial stage of development - the “chick that has just emerged from the egg” stage. To do this, just click the "Reset" button, which is located at the bottom of the pet.

Reviews

Irina
  We presented this toy to my daughter. She really enjoyed watching the penguin chick hatch from its egg and make its way into the big world. Games embedded in the toy are also interesting. Penguin in an egg hatchimals toy is a great option for a gift to young children.

Ekaterina
  Hatchimal toy in an egg is an interesting gift option for a child. They gave such an egg to his son, it was interesting for him to deal with, especially when the dragon came out of the shell. In principle, a good toy, only the price is, in my opinion, a bit high. Yes, and functions for the money could have been more to lay. In addition, for older children (from 5 years old), such hatchimal pets will no longer be interesting, so only the smallest children need to give them.

Now you know how to hatch and open a small Hatchimals egg, how to play with it and general information about this interactive pet. We hope our review helped you decide whether to buy such a gift for your child or not. Also read on our website reviews about other toys for children.

In children's stores you can buy toy eggs that open in the water. From them toys of animals, birds, dinosaurs or even small children hatch. As a rule, all of them are pretty cute and attractive. But in this story, the egg was purchased at a thrift store. What eventually hatched from him shocked not only children, but also adults.

Original toy egg

An egg bought in a thrift store was released in the 90s. This is what attracted people who decided to see what kind of toys were produced at that time. But they could not imagine how much the result would surprise them. The manufacturer promised that a small baby figurine should hatch from the egg. Buyers decided to film the hatching of a rare toy and did not regret it.

First, they placed the egg in the water and left it for several hours so that the shell could soak and become softer.

As expected, they left the egg in warm water for 15 hours. During this time, the toy should not only hatch, but also significantly increase in size. After 9 hours, a significant crack appeared on the egg. The family continued to observe the hatching of the toy with their child. When the shell began to crack even harder, the baby’s head appeared from the egg. In its structure, it did not at all resemble an ordinary toy.

What it is?

The family was truly shocked when they saw a baby head emerge from a cracked egg. Its structure looked unnatural and looked more like a piece of bread or fried breadcrumbs. But this only increased their curiosity. They had to leave the figure for a few more hours so that it could completely hatch.

Until the end of the shell was not opened, so the parents had to independently extract the figure from a glass of water. And what they saw was really shocking. They admit that at first they did not believe their eyes.

The toy was not like a small child, as the manufacturer promised, but like some kind of alien monster. His whole body was made of strange material, which had a rather loose structure. The child himself looked frightening. “This is a real nightmare,” commented the woman who bought this egg. “We expected to see a rare children's toy released in the 90s, but we did not think that it could change that way.”

But that's not all

The surprises did not end there. When the parents completely cleared the shell from the shell, they were able to fully consider the unusual mutant. And they noticed that the baby grew two large breasts.

All parts of the toy body were abnormally deformed and greatly enlarged. The face was so disfigured that it is hardly possible to make out eyes on it. Hands and feet had different shapes and sizes. The couple hastened to photograph the toy from all angles, and then posted a photo of their unusual purchase on social networks.

“From the back, the toy looks as terrible as it is from the front,” the customer commented on one of the photos. She said she would not dare to give this figurine to her child, because the material from which it is made can be dangerous for his body. And she fears that the appearance will greatly scare and shock the baby.

Netizens reacted violently to this strange find. They began to joke that the figure with its appearance resembles an alien, a piece of bread and even a small Buddha figurine. Other users advised its owners to get rid of this monster immediately. And one of them even offered to buy it.

It is not known what influenced such a nightmarish transformation of an egg figurine. Perhaps she really expired. Even the date of its manufacture was not indicated on the package, so buyers could not determine the exact year of its release. The materials the toy is made of may have deteriorated. That is why it is so strangely transformed under the influence of water. Or the egg was originally defective. It is already impossible to determine the exact cause of such changes.

From all this, we can conclude that even modern toy eggs can be unsafe for small children. Parents should carefully monitor all hatching processes. And if a defective toy is caught in an egg, it is best to get rid of it so that it cannot harm the child.

Did you like this story? What do you think is more like a spoiled toy?

Нatchimals - an original informative and entertaining surprise toy. The name Hatchimals combines two words - “hatch” and “animal”, which convey the method of its creation as fully as possible: it is a little animal that emerges from an egg.

A child will go through several stages of development with his friend, from an egg to a talking pet, and will be able to play games and communicate with him. The surprise is that the baby will not know what his new friend will be until hatching.

Hatchimals interactive toy is a large egg with a figure inside, which is activated during the process of warming in the hands of a child. After hatching, the chick will go through several stages of development, acquiring new abilities on each of them. Thanks to the recording device, microphone and special touch sensors, it responds to the voice and touch of the child.

The toy sings songs and tells poems, tales and tongue twisters, can participate in a dialogue, knows how to express its emotions, moves and even dances. He can get scared, get sick, freeze, start hiccuping, sneezing and coughing. New skills and functions are added with each new stage of chick development.

The toy is safe. The figures are made of plastic and soft tissue, which does not climb, does not cause allergic reactions. The shell is made of soft plastic, which is difficult to hurt. All small parts are securely attached and will not fall off without the efforts of the child.

What games can I play with my pet?

The toy plays the following interactive games:

1. "Funny sounds." Press the button until the flashing green indicators. After that, the chick will begin to play funny tunes that the baby will need to repeat, clapping her hands with the greatest possible accuracy. To win the game you need to accurately reproduce 10 tunes. This game trains attention, develops hearing and sense of rhythm.
2. "Salki." After the blinking red light appears, the pet will jump, and its eyes will change color. Each time they turn red, it should be easy to clap on the head. To win, you need to get on the red 15 times. The game develops attention and dexterity.
3. "We carry out the team." The indicator lights should blink blue. The toy will give instructions to the little player, changing the color of the eyes: red - to stroke the head, pink - to press the tummy, blue - turn head down. The color change speed will increase during the game. To win, you need to correctly execute the team 15 times in a row. The game trains attention, reaction speed, agility.
4. "Predictions." The eyes of the chick will blink orange. He is asked questions that can be answered “yes,” “no,” or “I don’t know.”

Who will like it

The Hatchimals toy is suitable for boys and girls from 5 to 12 years old. At this age, children are interested in role-playing games and toys that will help them realize this interest.

Young children can swallow the small items that come with the kit.

How to open: instruction

The pet Hutchimals is neatly and reliably packed so as not to damage the shell ahead of time and not spoil the surprise for the baby. The unpacking instruction is extremely simple:

1. First, cut off the adhesive tape on top of the package.
2. Remove the plastic cover from the box.
3. We put an opaque box on one side.
4. Carefully remove the inner packaging.
5. Cut the adhesive tape on the inner packaging.
6. Remove the blister with the egg.
7. We remove the plastic clips.

After removing from the package, the testicle begins to live.

Egg hatching and growth steps

So, after removing it from the package for activation, you need to put the egg in the palm of your hand with a wide part and warm it with the heat of your hands. After this, the child will be able to go through 5 stages of development of the pet.

1 egg

While the toy is in the egg, it will require a lot of attention. The baby will have to warm his shell with his hands, stroke, talk with him, listen to the heartbeat. The process is somewhat reminiscent of the "incubation" of chickens.

You can rock an egg like a baby, it is easy to tap your fingers on the shell. The animal will respond with a tapping response. During this time, the child gets acquainted with a new toy, gets used to it.

The chicken in the egg will babble, as well as express its emotions and communicate its condition through the eyes with light indicators that will be visible through the shell. Eye color has the following meanings:

1. Red indicates the dissatisfaction of the baby. To fix this, it can be stroked at the bottom, rocking, talking to him.
2. Orange indicates that the chick is sick. To help him burp, the egg must be tilted head down.
3. The flashing orange indicators are a sign that the baby has hiccups, and to help him, you need to knock on the shell.
4. A green eye color indicates that the pet is not feeling well. It needs to be tilted, stroked and rubbed from below.
5. Blue indicates that the baby is afraid. To calm him, the egg needs to be shaken, stroked, talk to him. If you clap your hands, he will be scared even more.

In order to activate the hatching process, you need to rub the heart located in the upper part of the shell. After that, the eyes of the toy will change color to pink, her heartbeat will be heard. Often a child has 30 minutes to play with a whole egg.

2 hatching

Hatchimal chick can hatch only once. The pet will inform you about the readiness for this child with iridescent shining eyes. Without the help of his little master, the chick will not be able to be born.

To help him hatch, the testicle is rubbed from below. After that, the chick will begin to peck the shell, like a live chicken. The stronger the baby will rub the shell, the faster the release of the toy from it will end.

If the process slows down or stops, the egg must again be picked up and warmed. Hatching lasts no longer than 30 minutes. The nestling itself will split the top of the egg shell in a circle. In analogs, you can help him with a special hammer. Then the “lid” will need to be removed, a toy removed from the egg, and the protective film removed from the wings.

If you click on the toy’s tummy, it will sing the song “Happy Birthday.” The same action activates the 3rd stage of development of the chick.

3 babe

At this stage, the toy will need care, almost like a newborn baby. If you pet her, she will coo and say "I love you." If you shake and turn upside down, shout “Weeee”. If you tickle her tummy, she will laugh. She also knows how to hiccup, spatter and flap wings.

To understand what a pet needs, his eyes will help again:

1. The violet color shows that the baby is hungry and it is time to feed him. To do this, the toy is tilted forward. In response, she will slurp.
2. An orange color indicates overeating. The pet will hiccup. To help him, you need to clap your hands.
3. If the chick's eyes turn yellow, you need to play with him.
4. The blue color of the eyes is a sign that the baby is cold and needs to be warmed in the palms of his hands.
5. The eyes will turn dark blue if the chicken gets scared. In this case, you need to stroke it, warm it in your hands.
6. Discontent or sadness is indicated by a red color. To reassure a pet and cheer it up, you can stroke it, shake it or tickle its tummy.
7. Green eyes indicate that the Hatchimals animal feels unwell and needs treatment. To do this, you need to stroke it. If you tilt the toy, it sneezes. If you click on the tummy, coughs.
8. If the eyes turn white, the baby is tired and needs rest. Let the baby put him to bed.

4 baby

Upon reaching the next stage of development, the pet will again sing a song about his birthday, and his eyes will again begin to shimmer with different colors. Now you can teach him to talk. The control button is located on the stomach of the toy.

After one short press, the chick will sing songs, after one long press, the pet’s eyes will become turquoise, he will say hello and the speech recording will begin. The child can say any phrase, the toy will remember it and repeat it after a short press on the tummy.

At this age, the chick will be able to walk. To do this, press the button until the eyes of the toy blink white. Then the child will have to help the pet: after each clap, the chicken will take a step, after two - turn. A lot of clapping will make the animal spin around its axis. If you turn on the music, he will dance.

5 chick

In the next stage, you can activate 4 interactive games. The list is scrolled using the same button on the tummy. In addition, all other functions and capabilities of the toy, available at previous levels, are saved. If desired, you can return the pet to the "baby" level. To do this, you need to restart it using a special button located at the bottom of the toy.

Assortment and types

There are several types of Hatchimals eggs.

Classic

The classic Hatchimals toy is represented by only 2 types of animals:

1. Pengualas, or penguin koala, are sold all over the world. It has wings and a crest.
2. Draggles are a mixture of dragon and eagle.

Each species has 4 colors for the chicks and two for eggshells.

The animal figurine is placed in an opaque colored egg. The surprise is that the color can be recognized only after the hatching of the chick. Each character has his own character. If the penguin is cheerful and gentle, then the little dragon is restless, a little clumsy and energetic. The toy expresses its emotions and desires with the help of eyes equipped with LED indicators.

The standard set consists of a large box (25 × 20 × 15 cm), an egg with a toy (their total weight is 860 g), detailed instructions in Russian and two spare batteries of type AA LR6. Hatchimals has a height of 20 cm and a base width of 15 cm.

The figure is equipped with a speaker and microphone, touch sensors. She reacts to pops or other sounds and touches, can reproduce spoken words, cooes.

Base twins

Since October 2017, the Hatchimals base twins of 6 varieties went on sale:

Two figures are placed in one large egg. There are rare models that are sold only in company stores: blue or lilac Burtles - winged butterfly turtles (sold only in Walmart stores), rhinoceros owls with Owlicorns horns (available only at Toys R Us) and black or white cubs -bearakeet parrots (sold in Target stores).

Collectible

Collectible figures are released in small eggs. They are many times smaller than the classic ones, made of plastic and non-interactive. On each egg in a purple speck there is a heart. After it is rubbed, it changes color. This means that the animal is ready to hatch.

Collectible animals cannot peck the shell themselves - the child will have to break it with his own hands. The first issue consists of 72 figures (yellow-green snails, pink hedgehogs, yellow cubs and elephants, blue hippos, blue-white pandas and others), divided into 13 categories (Forest, Farm, etc.) of varying degrees of rarity and one limited ( Cloudy Bay) consisting of 6 animals. A series can be identified by the color of the shell and specks on it.

Sets

Collectible toys are sold in sets of 2, 4, 8 or 12 pieces. Any of 72 figures can hatch from an egg. Each collection set is accompanied by a memo describing all the animals in the series, a nest or an egg tray and a map of the fairy world.

Pros and Cons of Hachimals

Hatchimals is a toy that develops children's attention, imagination, observation, spatial thinking, fine motor skills, quick reaction, dexterity, quick wit. The toy pet is independent of other gadgets and applications. A child can play with him both independently and in the company of parents or friends. The toy is bright and pleasant to the touch, made of safe and high quality materials,

The main disadvantage of Hatchimals is its high cost (about $ 60). Also a disadvantage is the complexity of care.

Nevertheless, the toy is designed for children of preschool and primary school age, which means that they will regularly stain it, feed it with edible products, etc. You cannot wash it because of the interactive filling, you can only clean it with wet wipes.

Some buyers complain about the low battery that is included in the kit. Sometimes their charge is not enough to split the eggshell.

Psychological Aspect of Hatchimals

For children, plot and role-playing games are important. Trying on the role of “mom” or “dad”, shaping their relationship with the pet, the child will learn to build relationships with others.

Hatchimals will teach the baby to take care not only of a small friend, but also of his close and dear people. He learns what responsibility is, for a toy, almost like a pet, needs care. The child will go through with his new friend all stages of development, applying his own efforts to this.

The interactive toy Hatchimals (a plush funny pet hatching from an egg) is the undisputed success of the Canadian company Spin Master; innovative development first became the nominee for the most prestigious "toy" award "Toy of the Year 2016" at the New York exhibition "Toy Fair 2016", then it was in the ranking of the most popular and coveted children's gifts for Christmas and New Year.

What are Hatchimals toys

Hatchimals toys are sold in an egg, from where they independently “hatch” if warmed and stroked the shell with their hands (according to the instructions). If you want a faithful dragon or your own penguin, grow out of an egg! And it will be yours and only your little dragon or penguin, personally raised, cherished, educated and trained.

Key parameters of the toy:

• egg height about 30 cm;
• hatched dragon or penguin has dimensions 25x20x15cm, weighs a plush pet about 100g;
• hatchimals toys work from two AA batteries, they are included in the sales package (these batteries are enough for the process of “hatching” and “hatching”).

Hatchimals interactive toy has several color options: Hatchimals Penguin - pink with white / yellow, purple and green; Hatchimals Whelpling - Blue, Purple, Cyan and Green. Since it is impossible to make out a future pet when buying (it is completely hidden in the egg), its coloring can be judged only by multi-colored specks on the shell.

Hatchimals Penguin and Hatchimals Whelp are not only different in appearance, they have different characters. A touching penguin can be kind, naive fidget, a little awkward and very cute; the dragon, for all its charming amusement, is more active, bold and restless - as befits severe, but gentle dragons. Hatchimals adults and well-brought up toys can talk, walk, sing, eat the food offered (rumbling and saying “yum-yum-yum”), dance. And, of course, they faithfully and faithfully love their master, although they can be capricious: what can you do, even a good-natured dragon sometimes wants to hurt, straighten himself and show a real dragon character.

How to play

After the egg is unpacked, it is necessary to remove two pins from its lower part - to start the “hatching” process. The egg needs to be stroked, shook in hands, warmed, clutching to itself, gently tapping on the shell. If you really can’t wait to meet the penguin baby dragon as soon as possible, you can speed up the “hatching of the egg” by blowing a little on it from a warm (but not hot!) Hair dryer. All this time the baby will mutter something, sigh, sing, if you listen, you can even hear the beat of his heart. In a word, the waiting stage is incredibly exciting and intriguing, it will require maximum attention and care. The eyes of the chick will glow (this can be seen even through the shell) in a different color. Attention! The color of the eyes changes: red, green, blue, and each shade means something (details are in the instructions), for example, the turquoise color is the signal “Stroke me!”.

"Hatching" can take from 30 minutes to a day, depending on how active the actions of the owner of the egg will be. At the final stage, the chick breaks the shell from the inside with its own beak (by the way, thin plastic is really very similar to a real egg shell), and when it is completely “hatching”, it sings a song similar to “Happy Birthday to You”, but only in its own, special, hatchimal okay. It is the performance of the “Happy Birthday Hatchimals” chick that indicates the completion of the process: now your pet has finally hatched, you can remove protective films from it and begin to get to know and play.

However, if the owner of a freshly hatched dragon or penguin thinks that this is the end of the matter and that more of his participation in the fate of the pet is not required, then he is mistaken. The kid is still small, does not know how, while he is helpless and defenseless. The owner of the Hatchimals toy will go through three stages of education of the ward:

The first stage, the time of infancy: a small dragon or penguin needs to be warmed, fed, ironed, scratched a forelock, patronized in every way (the color of the eye will tell you exactly what he wants). A chick, like any kid, can only pop something incomprehensible and is afraid of loud pops. He also can’t walk yet, he just rotates in a circle.

The second stage, a preschool child: the pet learns to walk (the direction of movement is given by the sound of a clap), it is not very good at the moment, but it already knows how to convey the rhythm of speech.

Third stage, cheers! The pet has grown: he not only makes his own sounds, but also knows how to repeat the words of his beloved master! He enjoys dancing and singing, playing the proposed games.

If suddenly the owner of the Hatchimals toy wants to go through all the stages of upbringing again and tinker with a charming baby, this will not be a problem: dragonflies and penguins have a restart button.

Who will love the Hatchimals interactive toy?

Hatchimals toys are intended for children from three (five) to twelve years old; moreover, it was initially assumed that pink and yellow-pink Hatchimals Penguins will appeal to girls more, and blue and green Hatchimals Dragons to boys. However, true dragon experts and penguin worshipers do not know the barriers, so the choice of Hatchimal's toy depends only on the personal preferences of its future owner.

On the cons and pros

An undoubted plus (except for extraordinary sweetness, friendliness and fun) is, of course, that Hatchimals penguins and dragons do NOT require the mandatory use of mom's and dad's smartphones and tablets, unlike many other modern interactive toys. Our children already spend too much time on different displays, so the developers of Spin Master deliberately did not use gadget applications, for which we thank them very much. Again, parental smartphones and tablets will be more intact.

Decent price for a toy with a height of 25 cm: price range from 4000 to 6000 rubles, depending on the seller (the declared pre-order price from the manufacturers was $ 59.99).

Feeding chocolate, apple puree and cherry jelly, a dragon or a penguin, unfortunately, cannot be washed in a washing machine. It cannot be washed at all, only gentle cleaning with wet wipes is recommended.

Good day to all who read! Today we will tell you about a wonderful toy - an interactive pet Hatchimals, which hatches from an egg! But first things first. Not so long ago, my daughter won a gift voucher at a children's store. And so, choosing the time, we decided to go to this store so that she could choose something for herself as a gift. I did not have to choose for a long time - my daughter immediately drew attention to the large egg that stood in the window. The seller explained to us that this is an interactive pet that is in the egg. She said that first you need to take care of the egg, then the pet will hatch, which is to be raised! Needless to say, this egg immediately became the limit of all my daughter's desires! True, it was not cheap - 5300 p. I had to add some more (?) Money from my wallet to our coupon.

Arriving home, we first climbed onto the Internet to learn more about the miracle pet! Having learned what and how, we decided to "hatch" the eggs and "educate" the pet. So that’s what we got. The egg is placed in the box on which the pet is painted (penguin or dragon), we chose the penguin. Also on the box are two options for coloring the future pet, but it is not known which pet will hatch. So we opened a tote with the whole family - we made bets with sweets.

As soon as the egg is taken out of the box, the hatching process starts immediately. The egg comes to life, you can communicate with it.

It needs to be warmed, ironed, you can also hear how the chick inside the egg bursts, hiccups, sneezes. If you stroke the bottom of the egg, you can hear the heartbeat of the pet. And if you quietly knock on the egg, then the pet will answer you by tapping.

After about 20 minutes of active manipulation of the egg, the first tapping was heard from the inside - our pet was ready to hatch from the egg!

He spins inside the egg and taps his beak on the shell, trying to break through it.

In this, he also needs to actively help - to cheer, stroking the egg.

This stage also lasts about 20 minutes. In the end, the pet breaks through the shell so that you can remove the top of the egg and help the penguin get out.

It is necessary to make some efforts, since he sits there quite tightly. A newborn chick sings a song, and now about no need to take care.

At the first stage, caring for a chick is not much different from caring for an egg. It also needs to be warmed, ironed, calmed.

Soon, the pet again sings a song and moves to a new stage of development. It is already becoming much more interesting - you need to teach the penguin to walk, talk and dance. To teach to speak is very simple - you press the button and say anything, release the button and the pet repeats after you! He then randomly pronounces the last record during the game, this often happens in unexpected moments, which makes the toy even funnier! You can teach a penguin walking by clapping - one clap - go forward, two claps-turn. Also, when the pet’s eyes glow with flashing purple, he is ready to dance. One of the melodies is turned on, and the pet starts dancing funny, and you can make the sound of the drums to the beat of the melody, simply gently patting the pet on the head. Soon, the pet again sings a song, this time an already matured voice, which means that he has reached the last stage of growing up. At this stage, four interesting games open.

Attention game - the pet taps the melody and the child needs to repeat as the pet did, if everything is done correctly, then cheerful music and applause will sound. The second game is napkins. The eyes of the pet light up in different colors, you need to clap it on the head when you see the red color. Fifteen correct times will give you victory, but three mistakes and you lose. Another reaction game - blinking in different colors, the chick gives the commands "stroke", "press", "turn over". Each team has its own color. If everything is done correctly, then your victory! A pet can also be a predictor, you just need to ask him a question that can be answered “yes” or “no” and the pet will give you his answer. So we raised our pet! Now to summarize. Is the toy interesting? YES! Undoubtedly interesting! Bought a daughter, the whole family plays, even a teenage son watched with interest! The toy also develops memory, attention, reaction, so it can also be called useful. Of the minuses - the first and most important minus - the price! She is very overpriced! For comparison, the son has an interesting interactive robot, and its price is an order of magnitude lower. BUT on the other hand, what is money, in comparison with the happy eyes of your child! The second minus is the rapid growth of the chick. From an egg to an adult chick a pet can be raised in an hour! I'm afraid the child’s interest can fade away quickly. no more intrigue. It would be nice if at least 24 hours were allocated for each stage, so the child could watch the egg longer, expect the chick to grow up. Of course, the chick's settings can be reset to the stage of the baby, but it is impossible to repeat the stage of the egg, and we did not have time to enjoy it. However, impatient people will like it. Do I recommend a toy? Of course I recommend! (still the price would be lower) Will surely be pleasant both to girls, and boys
