Do you remember when the "must have" Christmas toy was Tickle Me, Elmo?  People went NUTS for that~ fighting in the toy store and everything!  Well, I think this year we are going to have another product like that.  The Mattel Fijit Friends.

Fijit Friends are a new, interactive toy~ and kids are crazy about it!  They will quickly become their new best friends as you chat about the weather or your feelings, tell jokes and dance together!  Their story:

The Fijit Friends™ were created when a gooey science experiment was brought to life by the power of music!

The Fijit Friends™ love to laugh 'til their sides hurt, dance 'til they're dizzy, and just be themselves with their one true bestie!

And believe me when tell you, my kids LOVE them!  See the pictures below and judge for yourself!

We had a Fijit party and, boy, everyone involved had so much fun!  We danced and danced to the music, laughed and had a great time!

 Fijit Friends works by voice command.  You tell them to do something and they do!  You can say "Dance with me!" and they'll ask you "Your tunes or mine?"  If you tell them "Mine!" they will listen for the beat of your song and then join in dancing with you!  They can really move, too!  Make sure you have them on a big surface or they'll boogie their way right off the edge!  See the spaces under them in this picture? 

If you tell them you want to dance to "Your!" music, your friend will play {and sing along to} her own beats!

Made from an elastic/rubber material, the Fijit can move uninhibited to the music!  They bop their heads, bend over and backwards, and move side to side.  Their faces also light up different colors to reflect their activity.  Fijit friends know how to boogie and they're contagious!  Once they starts dancing, you're going to be following shortly behind.

{NOTE: the rubber is the kind that 'attracts' hair and dust.  A few swipes with a lint roller cleans them up good as new.}

If you don't feel like dancing, your Fijit would be just as happy to talk about the weather!  "Is it hot or cold?" they'll ask to start the conversation.  They love to hear how you're doing and what kind of mood you're in!  Feeling blue?  Tell your Fijit Friend "Tell me a joke!"  Their jokes will make you happy in no time!

There are some surprises that come with Fijis, too!  There is an extra button on the back of their heads that, when activated, unlock some special features!  You have to get your own Fijit friend to see all they can do!

Although they are voice activated, make sure you instruct your kids to speak slowly and clearly.  They're slightly picky about what they understand but once you master the learning curve it's smooth sailing and tons of fun!


BUY IT: Mattel Fijit Friends are available for purchase on their website for $49.99.
