AD – `Golden Bear Curlimals gifted for the purpose of this review
My youngest daughter has just turned six and whilst she may be growing up fast; her love for soft and cuddly plush toys never seems to dwindle. Add in interactive features such as characters that can talk and respond and she gets incredibly excited. We recently learned about Curlimals – a new range of three super cute interactive plush woodland characters from Golden Bear. Neve literally couldn’t wait to put them through their paces.
What are Curlimals?
Something magical is going on at the bottom of the garden… The Curlimals woodland friends are dreaming of a special child to care for them!
The Curlimals interactive toy pets come in three unique designs – Higgle the Hedgehog (purple), Blue Badgert (unsurprisingly in blue) and Bibi Bunny in Pink. Each character can move, talk and respond to your child’s touch.
Coming rolled up in a little ball, each character comes with their own unique personality, and responds as you pat their heads, tickle their tummies, brush their hair or touch their nose. They make up over 50 sounds each, including giggling, burps, sneezes and funny songs.
They can even talk to you too – phrases include “I love you”, “Oh boy!” and “more tickles please!” as well as kiss noises, sniffs and sneezes. Higgle the hedgehog has hay fever, so he can get the sniffles! When the Curlimals get tired they will say, “See ya!” or “Goodnight” and curl back into a ball before making soft and gentle snoring noises.
How much are Curlimals?
Curlimals retail at £25.99.
What we love about Curlimals
The Curlimals are a really cute size; perfect for kids to carry around with them; whilst the interactive nature of the toy encourages young children to really look after them – patting, hugging and talking to their new friends.
Neve only found them super cute but loved seeing their reactions when she tickled them and patted their heads. The curling and uncurling is really adorable to watch and the more you play with them the more they stay awake and uncurled.
There are three to choose from: Higgle Hedgehog, Blue Badger and Bibi Bunny; each sold separately and retailing at £19.99.
The range of sounds and responses is quite varied and as peace of mind for parents; sounds can be turned off at night or if you need a bit of peace and quiet. The fur is super soft and fluffy and at £20 each, we felt they are great value for money compared to other interactive toys.
Curlimals are available now at Amazon
