Guide Review - Guide Review: ZhuZhu Babies

ZhuZhu Pets are motorized hamsters that make sounds and scurry around the floor of their interconnecting hamster hub playsets. The newest members of the Zhuniverse, are ZhuZhu Babies. ZhuZhu Pets can now magically activate different accessory sets where they will care and nurture their little babies. The ZhuZhu Babies are sold separately from the unique playsets which include a nursery, pre-school, and gym. The individual babies are priced cost-effectively both birthday and holiday gift giving. On their own children might like to include them in dollhouse play, or other small scale pretend play scenario’s. However, to gain the full play and fun value of these babies, additional ZhuZhu Babies playsets and ZhuZhu Pets will need to be purchased for long-term play value.
