• Comes with neck strap.

Best Hatching Egg: Set of 2 Surprise Growing Unicorn Hatching Rainbow Egg Kids Toys

There’s something magical about eggs that hatch—and our kid testers adored this toy. Just add water in a cup and poof! Out comes a foam unicorn. Yes, it takes 12 to 24 hours for the eggs to hatch . . . but waiting is half the fun. Anticipation! 

What We Liked

• Affordable.

• Fun.

• Ages 3+ and up.

What Needs Work

• Once the unicorn dries out, it shrinks back to original size.

One tip: wash your hands before playing with these slime eggs. Any dirt on your hands will stick to the putty!

What We Liked

• Love the colors!

• Fun.

• Affordable.

• Doesn’t stick to hands, clothes or carpet.

What Needs Work
