Cute, fun and gimmicky toy

Butterly and Spinmaster sent me this Hatchimals Neon Rainbow set to review. I let kiddos do this since I’m clearly not the target demographic 😂

This set comes with 5 eggs to hatch in the plastic egg carton. You remove the wings from the egg, add water to the hatching zone and place the egg in it. The surprise creature emerges very quickly and comes with some cute accessories too. In total this set comes with 5 surprise creatures and their accessories. The girls loved playing with these and thought the concept was cute.

My (non-sponsored) adult thoughts: Marketed as appropriate for all genders and all occasions. Good for kids with short attention span or as an immediate reward since the hatching process is very quick. There is quite a bit of packaging/ garbage. There are many different creatures to collect and some are “Rare” to try to get kids to try to collect them all. Small educational value (if you teach your kids about how some animals are hatched) from the hatching process but none in the toy creatures themselves. It’s cute, it’s fun but definitely gimmicky.

Fun experience with a toy reward

I received this toy for free for review, but I would have bought it anyway.
Simple instructions that needs minimal adult assistance and a pretty quick payoff for impatient Littles.
Cute toys, cute idea, something to keep littles busy for a while.

Fun but Kind of Messy

This was a fun toy for my 6 year old son. It took about ten minutes to hatch all 5 eggs, but he played with the cute animals for a quite a bit afterwards. The only downside is that it is a bit messy. The eggs have dye in them, so tidying up took a bit longer than I would have liked.

Such a fun idea!!

My daughter had such a good time watching these pop out of their shells! They even come with accessories so that she can play with them even after hatching them!
