Editor's Review
Nano-Mals need you to care for them! These pocket-sized pets, which come in a variety of different animals, are a combination of interactive animal play and fidget toy. Each one comes wearing a cute little outfit that you can remove to better access the “On” button, and they all have an attached clip so that kids can bring the fun with them wherever they go. (You can access a silent mode in case wherever kids go requires no noise.) There are a couple different ways to play and fidget with Nano-Mals. Press down on their ears to pet them. Press their mouth to feed them. Move their arms up and down for dancing. Throw them in the air and catch them. Flip them upside down. Shake them. And lay them horizontally to sleep. As you play, their belly hearts light up with different colors, and the goal is to offer enough care and love through play to fill the heart completely. If you have more than one Nano-Mal, you can swap their outfits and watch as they interact with one another. Just face them within three feet of each other, and press the ears, nose, or arms on one Nano-Mal to hear them both sing together. Each one includes three button cell batteries.Â

Should I get it?
These little guys are so cute and will be fun for kids ages 5 and up to collect and play with. We like that their outfits are swappable, there are eight different animals to choose from, and interacting with them is easy – and a satisfying tactile experience.
