Hatchimals CollEGGtibles Hatchery Nursery Playset

Will make a great display and accessory toy for my nieces mini hatchimal collection. My only concern is I can't see the included bench and egg crank in the box. It does show as included so I'm assuming it will be in the covered section of the box when she opens it Christmas day.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have 3 kids ages 8,7 and 4 and they were very excited to open this toy and play with it. It is very nice looking in the package. Once we did open it the kids immediately hatched the egg. It hatches differently then a large hatchimal, if you are familiar. The way a hatchimal normally hatches is very fun and pretty exciting. The way this one hatches is just ok. You manually "hatch" the egg by cracking it with an elevator type compartment. After the hatchimal was out the kids were interested for about 5 minutes and then it sat for a few days. The nursery only comes with 1 hatchimal and I have not been able to find any more eggs at the store so it is fairly boring with just one hatchimal to play with. If you do purchase the nursery I strongly suggest you purchase several eggs to hatch. AT this point we have had the toy opened for about 10 days and I think the kids have only played with it for a total combined time of an hour. If you are expecting the excitement of the larger hatchimal and the interaction after they hatch you will be disappointed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My kids have always been asking for a Hatchimal after seeing the commercials. Electronic toys are fun, but I appreciate toys that allows the kid's imagination to fill in the action. I thought that the Nursery Hatchimal was the perfect solution and a good compromise. My kids were so excited to play with this toy. They gave me lots of hugs and kisses in appreciation. You get the same kind of hatching action, with the help of the mechanical tree. I even enjoyed seeing the little creature peep out. The nursery is an invitation to add more baby Hatchimals, which I think is a brilliant marketing scheme. I don't mind thought, as they are reasonably priced and I like getting them as a reward or incentive to my kids. This toy is currently displayed in a prominent spot for my kids. It will get lots of play.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had heard a lot about hatchimals during the holidays when everyone was searching for them as gifts. My daughter is 5 and did not know about Hatchimals at that time. As soon as she saw the packaging she was excited and wanted to play with the nursery. She is very particular about what she will play with. She loved everything about it, the color, the tree and most importantly she was able to spend time using her imagination.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Hatchimals Nursery arrived with a special CollEGGtible that could be hatched by using the Hatching Tree. This was the one downfall we found to the toy. My 6-year-old prefers to hold the CollEGGtibles and hatch them that way, so the tree is mainly used for egg storage. However, all other aspects of the toy were fantastic. Being able to store and display animals on the toy itself is a plus. She particularly enjoyed sliding animals down the slide, swinging them in the swing, and gently spinning them to sleep in the cribs.
