My girls were so excited when they received the Fijit package in the mail. None of use had ever heard of these interactive toys, so we were pretty curious to see what the fuss was about.
“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!”
So what is all the Fuss about you ask??
These toys dance, talk, play music, and they recognize & respond to your voice!
“They may be little robots, but Fijit Friends can dance almost as well as you can! Play different songs for them, and they’ll show you different moves. And if there’s anything they like more than rocking out, it’s telling funny jokes to you and your BFFs!”
There are 4 different Fijit Friends to choose from. Willa, Sage, Logan, & Serafina. For our Fijit Playdate, we received these ones:
WILLA
“This trendista likes to spice things up. She is devoted to fashion and up on all the latest trends, including the hippest slang and the coolest phrases. Plus she’s a natural-born leader!”
SAGE
This little explorer is totally ready for anything! She’s always the first one to say, "Let’s go!" when an adventure presents itself! And if you’re planning a hike or a scavenger hunt, she’s the perfect partner.
My girls we amazed at the way their Fijit friends felt. While their head is made of durable plastic, their skin is this Squishy, rubbery material that feels like nothing I have ever touched before!! My girls favorite part about the Fijit’s is that they dance to music. We can play our own music and the robots will pick up on the beat, or we can ask the Fijit to dance to her own music. It’s amazing that they actually understand what we are saying! We can also ask it to ‘Chat with Me’, or ‘Tell me a Joke’. Sometimes we have to repeat ourselves, but that is okay.
My girls couldn’t wait to have a little playdate with some of their friends. They asked me everyday if it was time for their party! It was a little busy, and we certainly could have used a Fijit Friend for each of the children because they all loved them!! For the playdate we received a bunch of fun things for the girls to dress up in. They got to put on sunglasses, rings, necklaces, and bracelets. They had a blast and were so excited to sing with the Fijit’s using a sparkly microphone! After they danced to one song, 2 of the girls (my daughter and her cousin) begged to do it again…..so I let them. It was so cute to watch .
The Fijit Friends were a big hit at among the kids. Even the boys were into them (not the singing an dancing, but the Fijit’s). Everyone wanted a turn with them and they loved that they could actually talk to ‘Sage’ & ‘Willa’ and get a response. It was kind of difficult though, because there was so much commotion going on that the Fijit’s didn’t quite understand the voice that was talking to them. We had to go into a quiet room in order to get them working correctly.
We had a great time at our Fijit Party and loved introducing these fun new toys to lot’s of great friends!!
