Are the kids already bored with their zhu zhu pets? Well there are tons of fun activities to get the kids to  squeeze out  much more fun from the zhu zhu pets! Heres a  great idea for you today.

Here is how this works:

I call this my special Zhu Zhu Pet hide and seek activity. We have all played hide and seek before and I am sure you know exactly how this works.

Step 1: One child closes his eyes and counts to ten while the other hides the hamsters.

Step 2: The child who has been counting now goes out and try to find the hamster.

Step 3: To make this really interesting the hamster should be hidden no more than 20 feet from the place where the first child is counting.

Step 4: The first child has three minutes to find the hamster as it is only 20 feet away from them.

And don’t worry you can always change the rules to make this interesting for your situation.

The other day, we had some friends over and decided to group everyone into teams. This made is more fun.

We even gave the other team clues telling them whether they were hot and cold.

And don’t forget to keep score. You can always tally this up at the end and give out cookies to the winners.

This simple fun activity can keep your kids entertained for hours….Guess who was the last zhu zhu pet to be found….and she was zhu zhu zooming around on mr Squiggles skateboard too!

TOY HAMSTER TIMED ACTIVITY: A DAY AT THE GO GO PETS RACES

So you were one of the lucky ones who managed to get Zhu Zhu Pets just in time before the Christmas Holidays.

But the question I get from my kids all the time is what else can I do with the Zhu Zhu Pets for more fun.

So they invited a few friends to our place and we tried a few different fun activites with the Zhu Zhu Pets

I call this activity the Timed Activity.

We have a race and see who wins within a specific time period.

At the end I gave away a prize to the winner. A box of melt in your hands M&M’s.

So here is exactly how this activity works:

1. Using the Zhu Zhu pet pieces and the toys you bought, you can set up your own special race course in the house.
2. When placing the car, slide and ramp it is best to place this in an open space.
3. Have a clear finishing line. I usually use scotch tape as it is easy to remove. You could also use a a piece of string.
4. Now my kids and their friends races the hamsters through our own special course. Each one has their own turn.
5. We then find out the winner by keeping a track of each time.
6. Each person has three attempts to go through the course and we take the best times.
7. And the winner gets the delicious M&M’s.

This activity has been so much fun that we have designated race day once a month at home where their friends come along and we have clean fun for hours. To find out the fastest hamster so far see below:

Last Christmas my 4 year old daughter was devastated that she didn’t get a pet hamster for Christmas.The way I saw it, was that pets are great gifts for children but when are they old enough or responsible enough to care for pets? But since then I too was devastated by the look of disappointment on my daughters face. So this year I went in search for the best pets for little kids. My search led me to the perfect toy pet solution.Zhu Zhu Pets (pronounced zoo zoo) recomended for kids 4yrs-10yrs old but the big kids like me may be smitten too.Also known as Go Go Pets these furry and adorable toy pet hamsters are the latest phenomenon on the toy market,they are toy hamsters which look and feel just like real pet hamsters.

Unlike real pet hamsters the mechanical ZhuZhu Pets can be operated by the kids to perform certain actions thereby making them more entertaining and interactive and best of all they are pet hamsters without the mess. The Zhu Zhu Pets come in two different sizes the smaller 4.5 x 2.2 x 2.5 inches and the larger one almost double the size.These cuddly creatures are Ideal to suit any budget. They are available in a box of 3 for $124.99 or 2 little Zhu Zhu Hamsters for $89.99 .The larger ones come in large single packs for $39.99 and a value combo pack including all four Zhu Zhu Pets and the complete Fun House Zhu Zhu Pets Accessories , this comes at the pricey $470.00.Which ever package you opt for its bound to be a hit with kids young and old.Here are a few reasons why;

WHY I LOVE THE ZHU ZHU PETS…

One of my biggest concerns giving pets as a gift to children is wondering how they will handle the responsibility of cleaning and feeding the pet and explaining what happened to the pet if the pet dies. The reason I love the Zhu Zhu Pets is because they are a great way to get your kids accustomed to caring for a pet and the Zhu Zhu Pets is that they are good clean fun.When the Zhu Zhu Pets run out of energy you simply recharge the batteries and they are good to go bringing endless joy to your kids.

You don’t have the smell or the mess of a real hamster to contend with and your kids wont have to endure any heartache of losing their beloved pet hamster.The second reason for my fondness of the Zhu Zhu Pets is that my little girl is asthmatic so I’m more sceptical about her cuddling up to a furry pet. Zhu Zhu Pets are hypoallergenic which gives me peace of mind knowing she will have the joys of a pet hamster without worrying about her getting sick.
WHO WILL LOVE ZHU ZHU PETS

Zhu Zhu Pets are guaranteed to be adored by the whole family but I imagine that they will go down well with the younger kids much more than they will with 8year olds. The little guys and girls will be thrilled by the interactive capability of the Zhu Zhu Pets.The soft plush texture makes them safe and clean for the little ones and you don’t have to worry about them biting the toy.

This toy is set to be a big hit this Christmas ,toy critics are already wondering if the Zhu Zhu Pets will become the next Cabbage Patch Kids.At this rate they could be flying of the shelves fast.Clean fun and economical too,a set of 3 Zhu Zhu Pets will cost you $ 24.99 but the joy on your kids face will be priceless.
