We already have 3 Hatchimals, which our children (6 & 10) have loved to play with. They were thrilled when I showed them that we had been sent a mystery Hatchimals in exchange for an honest review and some time spent playing with it.
The hatching process probably took 1 1/2 hours, maybe two. One of the most exciting parts is the hatching, but add in the reveal of the mystery animal, and the kids couldn't have been happier. Obviously the time it takes to hatch could be shorter (based on convenience alone), but I think that would take away the excitement.
We love that the kids were able to do more teaching and learning (name, games, dancing, playing music) with this Hatchimals than those of the past.
Overall, this is even better than we anticipated, and great for ages 6 to 38 (based on my family's experience), but probably any age. (This review was collected as part of a promotion.)
