Well, it’s now a few days after Christmas and the kids have switched toys again. The first big hit was the Splatball, then it was the board game Trouble, and now, we’ve moved on to our Zhu Zhu Pets.
Santa brought 4 total – two for our son and two for our daughter. Our daughter calls both of hers “mousy” even though their given names are Chunk (white) and Jilly (pink). Please note that Jilly is no relation to Jill. 
Our son is fine with respecting the manufacturer’s wishes and call his Num Nums (grey) and Mr. Squiggles (brown).
The toys don’t do too much but they do more than you would think. They have sounds indicating they are moving like roosters or boings. They zip forward, spin around, and shoot off in another direction.
The kids love them and treat them like they are their kids. In the picture shown, the Zhu Zhu pets are at the movies but tomorrow they have hamster school. Very fun.
