We all know that little kids love toys. And no wonder: for a child, this is not just entertainment. With the help of the game, children master the surrounding reality, try on various models of behavior, develop speech, thinking and motor skills, learn about shape, colors, volume, nature, life, social roles.

With the development of new technologies, toys have appeared that can teach children the skills of the school curriculum for elementary grades, they not only tell and read poetry, but also “communicate” with their little master.

Toy Furby, at first sight resembling either an owlet or a gremlin from the movie of the same name, can become a true intellectual friend of any child. She memorizes and repeats entire phrases and can even learn to swear or sing.

The Story of Furby Babies

The toy first appeared on store shelves in 1998, and Caleb Chang and Dave Hampton became the creators of the smart robot. Immediately after the appearance on sale, the little thing gained great popularity and sold a "circulation" of about 1.5 million copies. This is even though in the original version she couldjust laugh and say a few simple phrases.

7 years later, in 2005, the second generation was born - the Furby toy, which got the opportunity to learn and communicate with similar robots. And finally, the latest version of the intelligent baby, released in 2012, gained the ability to synchronize with devices based on iOS and Android. There are even apps that let you feed the robot and translate what it says in its own language.

Toy Furby, the price of which today is not so small - from 3000 to 4500 rubles, has its own character, the positive or negative features of which are formed in the process of communicating with him and depend on how good or bad with they are addressed. It is interesting that with caring care the animal becomes cheerful and accommodating, sings, moves its ears, dances and in every possible way expresses a good mood and a desire to communicate. If they don’t pay attention to it, don’t fit it for a long time, don’t play with it and don’t feed it, the character of the toy deteriorates, it starts to grumble, scandalize and make various unpleasant sounds.

Furby toy can be a great friend not only for children, but also for adults. Today, a Russian-language version of the unusual robot is already on sale, and various applications for iOS and Android offer users a whole series of improvements and updates that significantly expand the functionality of electronic fun.

Furby comes in several colors. So, there are babies with fur of red, white, black, blue and purple colors in various combinations. Every child will surely be happy to have such a smart and understanding friend who can be stroked, tickled and pulled by the tail to see how he reacts. This is a great gift for any fidget, as "Furby" teaches children responsibility - you need to constantly look after him, feed him, and communicate with him. Only then will he “grow up” kind and cheerful.
