WowWee Fingerlings Baby Elephant - Nina (Pink) - Interactive Toy

Cute toy that kids can stick on their finger (why its called Fingerlings!) and is interactive (to a limited extent) with your younger child. They do silly things and pretty cute. There is a small learning curve concerning how to play with it, but it is pretty easy to get the hang of!

Ive sent quite a few Fingerlings as gifts, as they were the must have toy. Ive never opened & experienced one before & while its cute, the claims of 40 plus noises & special features seem to fall short with Nina the elephant. Before I get into what she does (not much) & she doesnt, some tips. She is strapped in to her packaging with a clear band around the neck. Small fingers may be able to untie from the back but most likely scissors will be needed. I found using full size adult scissors, it was easiest to pull the toy away from package. Made it easier for the scissors to cut the elastic while stretched, otherwise you may scratch the toy. The instruction page is hidden in the blue paper base Nina sits on. I never would have seen this, or even looked, If I wasnt desperate to make this work by looking at YouTube vids. Btw, currently Feb 2019, No YouTube info on use of the Fingerling elephant. The vids I did find make you think you are missing something. Youre not. Its easy to find the switch on the back of the head to turn on. However, it does time out after inactivity, when it says bye bye, so you must turn On & Off to reactivate. Which brings me to Nina. She is suppose to record your voice by holding a sensor in front of her right ear for 2 seconds. After a grueling 10 minutes & about 40 times of Nina saying hi, I admit defeat on voice recording. If it works, it didnt on my model but, its new so there may be bugs to work out. Nina, as all Fingerlings makes noises that are a cross between a babys coo, a Japanese cartoon & a cats purr. It is higher pitched. Like the voice we all involuntarily make when we see a newborn. She does with certain features, like when you pet her, mix in a soft elephant call. You can pet her, clap, cradle her to sleep, hang her upside down. Every action brings a variation of the same sound. Its a cooing/purring/ cartoon voice combined with blinking eyes. She does do the infamous Fingerling fart when you hold sensors in front of both ears at once. Its a cute gadget & I get the draw. The large black, blinking, anime inspired eyes. The geisha like giggling. I can see this as a kids toy or adult stress relief item like a spinner. The Fingerlings grip will only slide onto small fingers & the arms & legs do not move, its hard plastic. The entire toy is heavy, as it holds 4 watch sized batteries, casing & Ninas voice box Also its rather large, as a whole, for a childs finger. Look at the pic on the page with the child model, Its as big as the kids whole hand. I know this review is more clinical than Omg, my kid loves it but, its the first time Ive held one & kinda shocked no review mentions the size & weight of this thing. I get kids want what they want & its nice to see something that pulls them out of a digital world. For fifteen bucks, I guess it cant hurt. Just feel like the next step is a robot dog vs the connection of a real pet. Maybe its better sitting on a desk or a nightstand than a finger but it is cute.

My daughters had a few fingerlings already and this was a cute addition. It is basically the same as the others, just a different animal. It is a cute baby elephant and it really doesnt get played with much anymore, but not many of the others do either. I think it was just a fun popular toy at one time, but now I will probably see it being sold at the dollar store.

This is the cutest little toy that quickly grabs the attention and the heart of little ones. This innovative toy sits on the childs finger and interacts with sounds and movements. The toy is a little heavy, so small fingers can wear out quickly. However, the toy can still be played with in numerous other ways. Because it is mostly plastic, it is easily cleaned and disinfected.

Stocking stuffer for my daughter! Super cute!

Absolutely adorable however it takes a bit to figure out the movements and the reactions. The little one loves it and its driving the adults crazy, so Id say its a hit.

We love fingerlings and this little cutie is a great addition to our collection. She fits perfectly on my daughters finger. Shes an adorable light pink and makes fun little noises. Overall, shes a classic fingerling and we love it.

Received on time, in nice packaging … its a Xmas gift, so dont know yet if it works as advertised. Im sure my niece (3 years old) will love it.

son muy bonitos

I couldnt even count how many Fingerlings weve ordered for our Daughter in the past, but she really loves this one in particular. She likes elephants, but this one is a pink elephant, on top of that. So it really takes the cake. Really easy for her to use and play with. She likes the way that it interacts with her. And some nights, she takes to having it in bed with her when its time to go to sleep. Its just comforting to her, so we appreciate that part as well. Definitely makes for a great gift, our Little Princess just has so much fun with hers.
