The year has just begun, and just as we “recover” from Christmas and New Year holidays, famous toy manufacturers are returning to old tracks and already offer us novelties that our kids will adore. A pleasant post-New Year surprise waited for us a couple of days ago – a big package from Hasbro has arrived at our address. Given that we have already been pleasantly surprised with their toys many times so far, we just knew we would be this time too.
Although at first glance we weren’t quite sure what was in the box, my kids were thrilled after they opened it and figured out how these toys work. We got Zoops, the collectible wacky pets, 10 packs of these for a lot of fun! These are hyperactive toys that flip and run all across the table or room, turning around and making scoops and loops.
The Hasbro Company describes them as party pets, although we first thought these are just oversized, vibrant bracelets with a pet as an accessory. But Zoops are much more than that, and these tiny pet faces look irresistible – unicorns, turtles, birdies, sloths ready for the disco and so on. There are 10 different animals, and they are all drawn on the box. When you collect them all, you’ll have the cutest party crew ever!
Zoops work on alkaline batteries. While they are moving all around, they do tricks, just like real pets. And they also have treats and a tiny ball where you can store these foam accessories. And this ball is their favorite play toy! We got 10 Zoops in the box, but some of these were doubled. Also, individual toys can be found on the market.
You’re probably wondering what these tiny toys suppose to do. To start, you can just turn them on and let them buzz all around. There is no way to navigate them; they will simply move wherever they want, flip over, bump to each other and so on while you don’t turn them off.
When you have more Zoops in the package, as we do, you can organize races or competitions which one will collect more treats. Of course, since their movement is wriggly, it will sometimes be “difficult” to make them race, but the fun is guaranteed.
The great thing is that the wrinkled rainbow bracelets will easily separate if they wrap themselves one at the other. You can try to connect several Zoops into one, or interlace them and watch them play, like real pets. Another way you can play with your twisting party pets is to put them around your arms and watch them go up and down, tilting and making you laugh. This can be fun when organizing a party for kids.
It is undeniable that today’s toys are modern and keep up with the market and demands of the youngest and cutest clients. Zoops are something that every kid (age 5 and up) will love and that will entertain them for a long time.
These are so cute!!!
