How to Make WowWee Fingerlings & Fingerlings Hugs Burp and Fart

Love them or hate them, WowWee Fingerlings are diabolically created for maximum kid enjoyment. The charming toys debuted in 2017 as monkeys but have since been expanded to include raptors, unicorns, and bigger, cuddlier plush versions called Fingerlings Hugs. The monkeys, raptors, and unicorn Fingerlings are charming, fist-sized critters that latch on to kids’ fingers; the Hugs are soft and have velcro hands that allow them to latch on and engage in their titular gesture. All of them are designed to react to sound, motion, and touch. Pet their hair, and they’ll coo and blink. You can blow them kisses, rock them to sleep, hang ’em upside down. Clap twice and the little ones will even sing you a song.

Sounds are, of course, a big part of what make Fingerlings so lovable. All versions make 40 different ones, from cooing to snoring to gleeful screams when they’re thrown up in the air. And, if you were one of the lucky ones to snag one of the Fingerlings, eventually your child will discover that their new buddy can burp and fart. If you show your child this feature before they do, you will be the coolest parent for the foreseeable future.
