My seven year old has been nurturing and playing with the Hatchibabies egg all week and today she was very EGGcited to hatch it and meet her new best friend! Red means it is upset and yellow is happy, blue eyes mean its cold, green is sick, white sleepy and orange is gassy. I think my daughter may have actually squealed when the egg cracked and lines appeared at the top of it. Also beneath the Hatchibaby are the High Chair and the Surprise Accessories - you won't know which colours or varieties you will get.

After pulling out the little tags from under the egg, both children paid it a lot of attention to help encourage it to hatch. It's many interactive features are really impressive and kept my children playing for quiet some time. Two new species have been added to the Hatchifamily, and we were excited to see what we were going to get and whether it would be a girl or a boy.The Hatchibaby is an excellent gift which will keep them busy all Christmas Day and then they have a very well made and cleverly interactive toy to play with forever.

Elizabeth loves her Hatchibabies and gives it a huge thumbs up, she's really enjoyed caring for it and looking after it both inside and outside of the egg this week. The Hatchibabies come in two new species – Ponette and Cheetree (as well as some other exclusive characters) so we were eager to see who we’d get. Your Hatchibaby is a bit like a real baby and can get gassy after a feed, so if you Hatchibaby’s eyes turn orange, you might need to pat them on the back and burp them.The base of the egg doubles up as a nest for the Hatchibabies where they will sit and rock and play happily. The forehead, the back of the head, the lower beak, the top centre of the chest (for the rattle and cuddle buddy), left foot sensor and right foot sensor.
