The toys make use of advanced technology that lets furry creatures hatch out of eggs. A must-have for Christmas; parents are trying to get hold of these toys for their kids through retail stores like Tesco and Argos.

These animals come inside speckled eggs that are bright in colour. Kids nurture these eggs for mystery creatures to hatch out. One does not know which animal a child would get before the egg begins hatching.

Children have to raise these creatures and teach them walking, talking and other activities. These toys have been able to gain the attention of children. The excess demand has led to the unavailability of Hatchimals in stores. Parents are even willing to pay extra money to get hold of Hatchimals.
