Simple, soft, and highly interactive; those are words that describe Fijit Friends. If you don’t know what they are but you have a little girl, you’ll probably know soon enough. But why wait for her to tell you. That’s what we’re here for.

Basically these are soft and loveable characters that respond to your child depending on how she plays with them. Fijit Friends will talk, dance, move around and even light up depending on how your child plays. They’ll sing and tell jokes, again all depending on how they are played with.

For example if you’re playing music, your character will dance. Speak to them with certain phrases and they will respond. Children love interactive toys and these are certainly that.

Admittedly, they look simple. Fijit Friends have no arms or legs. They’re just a body, but that’s part of their charm. And they’re incredibly soft yet can move in different ways.

What parents are saying about Fijit Friends

Check out the reviews on this one and you’ll find most parents say they’re kids love them. Whether the character is dancing around or holding a conversation, kids will interact with it for a long time. And although there are plenty of features (we’ll get to that shortly), you can add to it with accessories. Things like mobile apps, videos online and commercials on television will all cause your character to interact if new and exciting ways.

As for complaints, some parents say the characters don’t respond in as many different ways as claimed. That’s probably true when you first take it out of the box. The problem is with the batteries that are included. Yes this toy actually includes the batteries. Unfortunately they are bad. Remove the batteries and replace them right away and your Figit Friend will increase his or her responses.

Another thing to note. There’s a reason this toy is recommended for children 6 and up. When speaking to the toy you must speak clearly if you want it to understand what you are saying.

Durability is not an issue with this toy. The soft plastic is designed not to break and feels great. Plus you can remove the ears when it comes time to store it.

Features of Fijit Friends

Each toy can say more than 100 phrases and jokes and will move in varying lifelike motions. They are designed to respond to predetermined phrases you say to them and will dance to recognizable music types. They also perform their own original songs. As we mentioned earlier, these toys are soft and can be squeezed and pokes without damage.

The hardest decision may be which one to buy. There are several Fijit characters that you can buy including Logan, Willa, Serafina and Sage. And the come in different colors like pink, blue, yellow and purple. Naturally you get instructions, and yes, batteries are included (it takes 5 AA) but you’ll need to get new ones right away if you want it to work right.

The bottom line

This is not an expensive toy when you consider how interactive it is. Your little girl will love it once she starts to interact with it. Sure they look rather simple, but they’re fun and cute. Once you know your daughter’s favorite color get a Fijit Friend to match. We do recommend you buy early, Fijit Friends may be hard to come buy as Christmas gets closer.
