The 10 Best Hatchimals – Guidebook

Your kid wants a Hatchimal? You don’t know exactly what it is? Hatchimals are plush toys that your child can interact with. Similar to Furbys and Tamagotchis, Hatchimals respond to touch and sound.

A Hatchimal is sold in an egg. Your child can influence the hatching time. The more he interacts with the Hatchimal , the sooner it will hatch from its egg. The process of hatching is especially exciting because it is a surprise to see which Hatchimal is in the egg. Once the Hatchimal has hatched, it can be fed, cared for and played with. If your child takes good care of his Hatchimal, he will learn new skills and grow up. Children can learn in a playful way what it is like to take responsibility. In our checklist and with our product recommendations we help you to find your way in the colorful world of Hatchimals.

Checklist For Hatchimals

Age
  • Hatchimals are recommended for children 5 years and older.
Types of Hatchimals
  • There are different Hatchimals that have different colorations and character traits:
  • Pengualas: they are friendly and somewhat naive, they are also considered clumsy. They are colored pink/light blue or green/yellow.
  • Draggles are brave, energetic and very curious. They are blue/green or purple in color.
  • Owlicorns are considered rare. They are pink or blue in color and have a small horn on their head.
  • Bearakeets and Burtles are special models, distinguished by their antennal antennae and their contrasting black/pink or white/pink colorations, respectively.
  • The eggs of the Hatchimals are about 15 cm tall and the plush creatures are about 12 cm tall.
Special Hatchimals
  • There are also the CollEGGtibles: these are small plush figures to collect and play with, available in many different colors and shapes.
  • The Hatchimal WOW is also a special Hatchimal. It is bigger than its siblings and can hatch out of its egg over and over again.
Interaction
  • The Hatchimal’s eye color says something about its state of mind and requires a certain interaction each time. For example, if its eyes glow white, then the Hatchimal is tired and wants to be put into sleep mode. On the other hand, if its eyes glow yellow, it wants to play.
  • Each Hatchimal has a detailed description that tells you what it needs and when.
The Family Grows
  • The Hatchimal family continues to grow and new siblings are added to the Hatchimals.
  • This results in versatile collecting fun, where there is always something new to discover.
