Hatchimals questions answered - Hatchimals FAQs and more
What is a Hatchimal?
What is a Hatchimal for a kid:
A Hatchimal, as you already know is a magical animal that lives inside an egg. When you bring home a Hatchimal, you have to care for the egg, touch it, speak to the baby Hatchimal inside, play with it, nurture it, and then the egg will hatch. The Hatchimal with help from you, will peck its way out. What Hatchimal will it be? That will be a surprise. You can see the eyes of the Hatchimal glowing inside the egg. They glow in different colors, and you have to take care of the egg according to how the hatchimal is feeling. If the baby hatchimal inside the egg is feeling cold, its eyes will glow blue. Then you will have to slowly rub the lower part of the egg and make the hatchimal baby feel warm again. You can see what the different colors in which the baby hatchimal’s eyes glow mean in the color chart above. When the eyes start glowing in rainbow colors then the egg is ready to hatch. The hatchimal will start to peck it way out with some help from you. When out comes a surprise Hatchimal, all furry and cute, you are then ready to take care of it and raise it.
What is a Hatchimal for an adult:
A Hatchimal is an interactive electronic toy that is inside an egg and which pecks its way out after about 30 minutes or so of getting activated. It is a highly interactive toy that uses advanced sensor technology to create an amazing experience for children between the ages of 5 to 10. This innovative toy from Spin Masters, a company formed by toy enthusiasts way back in 1993, is an award winning interactive toy, that comes from a toy company that has won multiple awards for previous toys which have been extremely successful. The Hatchimals are a line of toys that are much more than just entertainment for children. It teaches them the importance of caring and nurturing, and also gives them a sense of becoming guardians and protectors to something that is almost like a pet. The child also learns to teach the Hatchimal things like talking, moving, dancing and playing games. Since the Hatchimal actually hatches out of an egg and with help from the child, there is a sense of belonging that develops between the toy and the child. This increases engagement time and creates a great bond between them. Thus Hatchimals are actually a once-in-a-lifetime hatching experience for your child, as well as an award winning interactive toy that will teach your child to love and care, and many of the good things in life.
Are Hatchimal’s good for my children?
They have been designed to teach children the importance of nurturing and caring. The Hatchimals by virtue of hatching due to the nurturing actions of the child, create a special bond between them and the child. This interactive toy uses technology very powerfuly to create a wonderful experience for the child. The hatching of the Hatchimal itself is a very rewarding and once-in-a-lifetime experience that binds the child to the Hatchimal. Children treat them like actual pets and give them care and attention, and teach them things. This creates a strong sense of well being and a feeling of giving protection to smaller creatures. The attachment with the Hatchimal makes most children name them and treat them like their own magical pet. Also the act of teaching the Hatchimal things as it grows up also makes the child appreciate the importance of sharing and caring.
How do Hatchimals hatch?
When you buy a Hatchimal, it is secured inside the package by two plastic locks. These locks have to be removed by twisting and pulling them, and the Hatchimal egg comes free from the packaging. The removal of the plastic locks starts the process of the hatching. As the child starts to play with the egg, hold it and move it around, the Hatchimal inside also becomes active. Its eyes glow in different colors, and it starts to make baby noises. It take the Hatchimal egg about 25 to 30 minutes to hatch if the child keeps engaging with it.
The egg requires to be held, moved around, rubbed and tapped for the baby Hatchimal inside to start becoming active. After about 25 minutes of activity with the egg, the Hatchimal’s eyes will glow in rainbow colors. This is an indication that the egg is about to hatch. The Hatchimal inside the egg will start to peck at the egg and break it. As the child encourages the baby Hatchimal by rubbing, tapping and moving the egg, the Hatchimal will break open the egg. By pecking at the egg shell, the Hatchimal will try to come out, but the last bit of removing the broken top portion of the egg and pulling out the Hatchimal will have to be done by the child.
This is how the Hatchimal hatches. The hatching time varies from 25 minutes to 40 minutes depending on the activity level of the child.
Hatchimals are for children of what age?
Hatchimals are great for children above 5 years and will be enjoyed by children right up till the age of nine or ten. The packaging says that it is for children who are 5 years and up, and it is an exciting and engaging toy for children right up to the age of 10 years. It is a great learning and nurturing toy for children between 5 and 10 years if age.
Our recommendation is to gauge if your child enjoys nurturing and caring for pets and toys, and if she does, then the Hatchimal is the ultimate toy. You can even think of giving it to your child as a Christmas gift, and make it a really special Christmas this year.
What are the different Life stages of a Hatchimal?
Every Hatchimal goes through 5 different life stages. Here is an overview of these life stages:
Stage 1 Egg: In the egg stage, your hatchimal is still inside the egg, and you need to take care of it and interact with it from the outside.
Stage 2 Hatching: When the eyes of your Hatchimal glow in rainbow colors, it is starting to hatch. The Hatchimal will start to peck at the egg and break the shell. You will have to encourage and help your Hatchimal as it hatches.
Stage 3 Baby: When the Hatchimal comes out of the egg, it is int he Baby stage. You will have to care for your Hatchimal and fulfill its wants and needs.
Stage 4 Toddler: After you interact and play and care for the Hatchimal int he baby stage, it will grow into the Toddler stage,a nd you can then teach it to walk, talk, and dance.
Stage 5 Kid: Finally when your Hatchimal grows some more, it comes to the Kid stage, where it is fully grown up. You can now unlock and play many games with your Hatchimal.
Resetting to Baby Stage: If for any reason you want to reset your Hatchimal to the baby stage again, it can be done by pressing the small reset button on the bottom of your Hatchimal with a paperclip.
Need help to know what stage your Hatchimal is in?
Here is how you can find out what stage your Hatchimal is in -
Egg stage: This is very easy, your Hatchimal will be inside its egg in this stage.
Hatching Stage: When yur Hatchimal starst to peck at the egg and break it, it has entered the Hatching stage.
After your Hatching has hatched:
Once your Hatchimal has hatched and come out of the egg, there is a very easy way to find out what stage it is in. You need to press its Belly and see what color its eyes glow in. Depedning on the color its eyes glow in, you will know whether it is in the Baby, Toddler, or Kid stage.
On pressing the belly of the Hatchimal, note the first eye color you see. Here's how you can know what different eye colors mean:
If you Hatchimal's eyes color glow yellow and your hear it giggling, it is in the Baby stage.
If your Hatchimal's eyes glow purple, which si the dance mode, then your Hatchimal is in the Toddler stage.
If your Hatchimal's eyes glow red, which is the tag game mode, then your Hatchimal is in the Kid stage.
Is it possible for my Hatchimal to hatch again?
Your Hatchimal only hatches once, just like a real egg. In nature when a bird's egg hatches, a chick comes out and it only wants to play and fly. Similarly when the Hatchimal comes out of its egg, it only wants to be with you and play!
After your Hatchimal hatches, the best thing to do is dispose off the egg. If you keep the Hatchimal back int he broken egg, it could damage it.
Does the Hatchimal have a quiet mode? It is too loud!
If you feel that the noises the Hatchimal is making are too loud, you can switch to the half volume mode. Here is how it is done:
You need to first turn off your Hatchimal (you can hold it upside down for 8 seconds to turn it off). Now turn it on while pressing and holding down the belly of the Hatchimal. This will bring your Hatchimal into Half volume mode.
If you want to return your Hatchimal to full volume, just turn off the Hatchimal and then turn it on again normally, without pressing the belly.
What is the best way to clean my Hatchimal?
The best way to clean your Hatchimal is to spot clean any part with a damp cloth. Since the Hatchimal has electric parts, you should not use water on it and definitely should not submerge it in water. Submerging in water can be dangerous and will almost certainly damage the Hatchimal.
The beak of my Hatchimal is stuck, pressed in and it isn't popping out, what should I do?
If your Hatchimal's beak is stuck and pressed in and isn't popping open, then your best option is to call Customer Care.
The Hatchimal I have is freezing, makes no noises and has become erratic. What to do?
There can be one of two reason. Either you Hatchimal is getting tired and you have to give it some rest or your Hatchimal's batteries have got drained and you need to replace them.
If your Hatchimal is getting tired, then put it to sleep by holding it upside down for 8 seconds. Let it lie flat for a few seconds, and then pick it back up. It should come back to normal and behave as usual. However if it doesn't, it means that its batteries have drained. You will then have to replace the batteries with a new set of premium brand non-rechargeable alkaline batteries.
When I tap on my Hatchimal egg, it isn't tapping back. What should I do?
Chances are that your Hatchimal isn't hearing you because it is making noises. You should wait for the Hatchimal to become quiet and then try tapping. It will tap back.
If you see that even after the Hatchimal is quiet, it is not tapping back, then in all probability your Hatchimal is tired. Turn your Hatchimal egg upside down fro about 8 seconds and your Hatchimal will go to sleep. Now turn the egg right side up again and then try tapping. Remember to wait for the Hatchimal to quiet down, then try tapping again. Your Hatchimal should tap right back now.
I am rubbing the egg but my Hatchimal isn't giving a proper response. What to do?
There are a few things you can do if your Hatchimal isn't responding to you when you rub the egg:
1. The first thing you should do is rub along the side of the egg. When you do the running make sure that your hand goes all the way down and up, below the thin seam towards the lower part of the egg and above it.
2. The second thing you can try is to let go of the egg on a a flat surface. Just let it lie there of for a few seconds, and then pick it up and then rub again. You should get a response from the Hatchimal now.
3. The third option is that your Hatchimal is tired. In that case, hold the egg upside down for about 8 seconds and the Hatchimal will go to sleep. Then turn the egg right side up and rub, and you will get a response.
What is the best thing to do with the egg after the Hatchimal has hatched?
Our recommendation is to get rid of the broken egg. If you try and keep the Hatchimal back in the broken egg, it can damage the Hatchimal. It is best if you dispose off the egg after the Hatchimal has hatched.
What if my Hatchimal hatches when I'm not around?
The good thing about Hatchimals is that they cannot hatch without you being around. You will have to be holding the egg for the Hatchimal to starts hatching. so there is no need to worry about this.
How long will it take for my Hatchimal to hatch?
Your Hatchimal can take up to 25 minutes to start hatching. It depends a lot on how much you engage with the Hatchimal egg. If you hold the egg, rub it and play with it, it should hatch within 20 minutes. However of the interaction is less it can take longer too.
The actual hatching with the Hatchimal pecking its way out of the egg takes about 10 to 15 minutes, and you will need to encourage and help the Hatchimal baby along.
When your Hatchimal is done with the pecking and the egg shell has cracked and opened up, you can help the Hatchimal by removing the leftover parts of the egg and pulling off the top of the egg.
After my Hatchimal hatches, what all can I do with it?
After your Hatchimal hatches, there are many things you can do, and there are lots of ways to play with the Hatchimal.
