When I was recently offered the opportunity to review the
latest Hatchimal CollEGGtible toy I couldn’t refuse. My children, Annie 8 and
Freddie 5, adore any toy that comes in an egg or is a mystery so this range is
right up their street.
The latest edition to the range is a 48-piece puzzle and
matching character which of course comes inside an egg. This is our review and we have also made a YouTube unboxing and first impression video, see below.
There are two characters and corresponding puzzles available
and the mystery is that you don’t know which you will get until you open the
egg, hence the mystery.
Both Annie and Freddie love the fact you get to crack open
the egg just like a real one. You basically rub the little heart on the front
until it changes colour and then the egg will be soft enough to crack. We got
the purple character, a cute little four-legged animal with silver wings.
The toy is recommended for children aged five plus. Both of
mine had fun with it however the puzzle at just 48 pieces wasn’t very challenging
for Annie who is 8 and was better suited to Freddie who is 5.
The puzzle is brightly coloured and has good sized pieces
that are sturdy and clip together easily. Annie and Freddie completed it on the
carpet and that was fine.
They both enjoyed having a figure that matched the puzzle.
The figures are also exclusive to the puzzles so a must for any keen
collectors.
The puzzles aren’t yet available however I will update this
post with links once they are. I believe the RRP is going to be £6.
The individual Hatchimal eggs are so popular and so making
them into a puzzle is a great idea. It would make a great present as you get
the fun of getting a mystery figure in an egg that you can crack open plus the fun and
more educational challenge of completing the puzzle.
My children have always enjoyed completing puzzles, I think
children take such a pride in achieving the goal. They will often complete the same
puzzle over and over which also means they become great for working their memory.
Puzzles also aid their fine motor skills and problem-solving abilities. Plus
let’s face it, they are fun!
For some time now my children have been huge fans of
YouTube. They love nothing more than watching other children unbox toys,
complete challenges etc.
They have nagged me for ages to let them have a go themselves
and whilst I initially had my reservations (those who regularly read my blog
will know I haven’t even shown pictures of their faces until now) this seemed like
the perfect opportunity to let them have a go.
So, if you would like to see them unboxing their Hatchimal
CollEGGtibles Mystery Puzzle and hear their first impressions please watch. Also,
please subscribe to their channel and recommend their video to any children in
your lives as it would make them so very happy.
This is not a sponsored post however I was sent the toy to review.
Thank you for reading.
