WowWee recently added to its expansive toy assortment with six pocket-sized monkey toys that are sized to grip around a child's finger.
The Fingerlings Baby Monkeys have over 50 animations that they use to respond to being touched, talked to or hung upside down. The small primate toys feature eyes that blink, a head that turns, as well as hands and a tail that grip. In total, WowWee describes that there are more than 40 different ways to play with these finger-sized monkey toys.
Naturally, each of the Fingerlings Baby Monkeys in the collection has a unique personality. While Bella loves expressing herself with "cute monkey babble," Zoe loves being upside down and the black and blue monkey Finn is said to swing to the beat of his own drum.
