An electronic toy pet can fill a part of your boy or girl’s heart. What boy or girl doesn’t want a kitten or a puppy or even a monkey? However, many parents may have trouble meeting this special request. There may be allergies or space or yard issues; or they may not be allowed to have pets in their rental homes. An electronic toy can help to some extent. It’s not the “real” thing, however it might help fill a wish.
There are plenty of these toys available online. There are electronic kittens, puppies, cats, hamsters, even ponies! Their prices are not too high either, if you take into account that you will not have to pay to feed them or take them to the vet. Be careful though, many of these toys have tons of accessories so they can be a bit pricey. On the plus side, props can be offered as bonuses for good behavior, etc.
One of the most popular electronic toys online this year is the Zhu Zhu pet hamster. If you’ve ever owned a real hamster, then you know that these particular creatures can be a bit “picky.” In other words, they may not have a very long shelf life. ZhuZhu’s pet hamster doesn’t have that problem (unless he gets trampled, ouch). These electronic toy hamsters also have a great selection of accessories that make playing with them a lot of fun.
Other popular electronic toy pets come from Hasbro’s FurReal Friends. They have a selection of realistic cats, kittens, puppies, tiny dogs, a panda and even a chimpanzee. These plush toys move and make sounds just like real animals. Some people even mistake them for real animals.
Cute toy electronic pets can teach your children how to take care of a real pet one day. This is especially helpful for parents of very young children who want to add a puppy, kitten, or other small animal to their family. However, they are hesitant because they may feel that their child or children may hurt the little animal. With an electronic toy pet, parents can show their children how to hold electronic pets correctly and even control their behavior. Once they see that their children have learned what not to do, they may feel like they can add a small animal to their family.
If your child or children are requesting a pet, but it is not a feasible option for the family at the moment, then you may want to consider purchasing an electronic toy pet. Remember, they don’t eat, bite, scratch, or mess. They really are the perfect pet.
