2. Fingerlings Baby Panda

The Fingerlings family has grown with new, awesome robotic toys in the range! As the best-selling technology toy for 2017, the Fingerlings have become an undisputed phenomenon in the toy world and with good reason because these robotic pets are cute, adorable and very huggable!

Brightly coloured with adorable faces, these palm-sized pets curl around your finger and come to life when you play, responding to sound, motion and touch with over 40 animations.

According to Chiquita Patrizi, the Fingerlings have become a phenomenon because they touch on a number of rising trends. “Shortly after they launched the Fingerlings went to the top of the favourite toy list. They are quite unique and they’re also part of a bigger range making them fun to collect. The robotic aspect also adds strong play value to the toy. Furthermore, the new additions are right on trend in terms of theme and colour.” says Patrizi.

Fingerlings are ideal for ages five years and older. RSP: R499.99 Available at Hamleys, Lilliputs, Toy Kingdom, ToyZone, Toys R Us, Checkers. For more information go to www.PrimaToys.co.za
