There’s nothing like seeing the sparkle in a child’s eye as they see their absolute favorite new toy for the very first time. To help you find the perfect gift for holidays, Senior Editor Ali Mierzejewski brought three of this season’s coolest toys to WOIO Cleveland. These toys are so great, you won’t be able to wait until your kids go to sleep so you can play with them yourself!

 

FurReal Friends Starlily, My Magical Unicorn (Hasbro)Hasbro.furreal_friends_starlily_my_magical_unicorn

  • FurReal Friends turns an ordinary friendship extraordinary with the introduction of Starlily, My Magical Unicorn pet, the first interactive toy unicorn in the FurReal Friends line.
  • Starlily features more than 100 sound and motion combinations. The more a kid pla ys with her, the more she can respond. She even moves her head and opens and closes her eyes!
  • The sensors around her face and on her horn allow Starlily to respond to touch. Her long, silky hair can be styled, braided, and combed in many ways for fun-filled grooming play. And, when kids feed Starlily her special sugarberry treat, she opens and closes her mouth and makes happy eating sounds.
  • Starlily has fluttering wings and a horn that lights up with multiple colors to communicate how she’s feeling.
  • She can be posed to sit, stand, or lie down.
  • Kids can become closer friends with their new pet with the Starlily, My Magical Unicorn Pet app, which allows kids to visit her enchanted forest home. The more kids play with the app, the more they can “grow” their pet’s power and win collectibles, making her forest world even more magical!
