Scanimalz - Collectible Plush Toys and App in One {Review & Giveaway}

This post is sponsored by Wicked Cool Toys.  Opinions are my own

My kids are absolutely crazy about plush animal toys and anything that has to do with technology - especially online games and apps.  I cannot begin to tell you their excitement when Wicked Cool Toys recently sent us a Scanimalz for review. Scanimalz  recently debuted at the American International Toy Fair and got rave reviews and we were so excited to find out why!

Scanimalz are cute and cuddly plush characters with special QR codes on their bellies.  To enter into the Scanimalz world, parents and kids simply download a free iOS or Android Scanimalz App, scan the QR code and begin enjoying games, track collections, earn Scantz points and work their way up the daily leader board.  Kids will receive daily alerts from the app to prompt the kids to remember to scan their Scanimalz belly, keeping the connection between the Scanimalz and child alive. This made me especially happy to see that my kids have actually been excited to play with their Scanimalz regularly rather than toss it aside and forget about it!  They actually look forward to getting the alerts as a reminder.

 

 

We received a special limited edition Betty Bear Purple (1 of just 1,000) for review which came to us in a cool protective clear box case, perfect for storing her when not in use.  I do not know if my kids were more excited about the character or the fact that she is a limited edition toy, but either way, they could not wait to take her out and start playing.  Check out this quick review from my kids showing how to use the Scanimalz:

There are currently 8 adorable plush Scanimalz characters to choose from and they are fun for kids of all ages.  At just $9.99 they are also very affordable and make great gifts!  You can purchase them on Scanimalz.com, on Amazon, at select Learning Express stores and they will soon also be available at Toys R Us stores.
