My boys’ LOVE toys that do things. Give them buttons to push, wheels to turn, and pieces to move and they are completely absorbed.
Naturally, the new Switch & Go Dinos™ from VTech are getting lots of attention — like hours each day. I love more than anything finding a toy that my boys will play with for days and weeks at a time. That is the sign of a great toy – it’s engaging, interactive, and so much fun.
These kinds of toys are the ultimate for my boys. The Switch & Go Dinos are designed for kids 3-8 years old which means all the moving parts are large, easy to move, and sturdy.
These toys do stuff. It can be a car or a dinosaur and getting from one to the other is simple but does take quite a few steps. It’s perfect because it’s easy to do, but the fun isn’t over too soon.
Switch & Go Dinos are absolutely full of kid-loving technology. Each Dino has an LCD screen that doubles as either the car’s windshield OR the dinosaur’s eyes. There are fun and customizable animations AND great sound effects. I hear my boys repeating the things their Switch & Go Dinos say in auto mode like, “No pain, no gain!” Or “Put the pedal to the metal!” In dinosaur mode, action buttons play facts about each dinosaur so learning is playing!
My boys are both so amazed at the way the toy can be both a car and a dinosaur because the car looks just like a car and the dinosaur looks just like a dinosaur. It’s kind of magical and my kids love magic.
We got Sliver, Horns, and Span to play with, but there are seven durable, unique, and collectible Switch & Go Dinos, and they start at just $15.99 each. I’m thinking we gotta collect them all and I’ll be getting my Christmas shopping done early this year…
