Hey! Are you looking for the best toy to gift your child on his coming birthday? I am sure you must be looking for the unique and the best toy for your child. Video games are no doubt the most fascinating gifts for kids, but why not present them something different this time. Instead of running through the same old list of Bakugan warrior series of toys, Nintendo Wii, cupcake maker, star wars, barbie dolls, how about gifting hamsters? Don't be surprised, I am not talking about real hamsters. I am referring to amazing talking and dancing hamster toys for kids that are cute and involve great fun playing. Artificial talking toys can be good substitutes for real pets in the house. These toys would give your children the kind of enjoyment they would derive from playing with real pets, without you having to bother about how to care for them. These interactive toys would definitely add fun to the play hours of your kids. Interactive Modes Hamster toys are especially designed for kids between three to ten years. Such toys are electronic and even have some amount of 'intelligence'. This inbuilt intelligence helps them react to the stimuli in their surrounding environment. These hamsters have three specially designed modes, love, explore and cuddle. In the love mode you can hug and love the hamster that would respond by chattering, in the explore mode, the toy will roam around and the third one is the cuddle mode in which your toy hamster would go to sleep. Children would love to listen to the chattering of your pet toy hamster. When put on explore mode, the hamster would roam about on its own in a predefined area or the playhouse and this would engage the kids for hours together. Different toys make different kinds of sounds and have a unique 'personality' of their own. Advancing technology has triggered such toys to create various sounds while running and roaming around. When the toys bump into a wall or any obstacle they make weird sounds, further adding to the fun in playing with them. You can also switch over from roaming mode to cuddle mode during the sleeping time. Following are some of the most popular toys; they are all set to make it to the list of best selling toys of all time and would definitely be loved by one and all.
