Hatchimals: What to Know and Where to Find Them in Dubai

Wondering what Hatchimals are? Simply put, they're interactive creatures that come inside a large egg, made from a hard material quite like plastic. When the time is right, the little creature inside would break out on its own.

Here's the fun part... Your child must interact with its shell, which features touch technology and reacts to any movement made to or around it. For instance, if you tap it, it taps right back. Or if you stroke the top or bottom of the egg, it responds with lighting and sounds.

After some time, the Hatchimal inside will self-hatch using its beak to break through the top part of the egg. Over time, its behaviour matures and eventually, what is first a baby Hatchimal will begin to behave and develop into a toddler, and then into an adult Hatchimal. What's even better is that it sings its own birthday song when evolving into its next age.

Inspired by a mix of both mythical and real animals, Hatchimals in Dubai currently come in various different forms.

As babies, you can find it by touching its beak to the floor, and slowly becomes more interactive as it (technically) grows into its adult form. It'll dance, repeat your words and move when you clap your hands. Plus, when it's in its grown-up stage, it will play games with you.

Are there other Hatchimals toys?

Yes, since the initial release back in 2017, the Hatchimals world has expanded to include CollEGGtibles and playsets, too.
