Swimming Turtle Toys

This Little Live Pets Toy Comes to Life on Land and in Water

— February 18, 2016 — Life-Stages
Just like the real animal, this battery-powered turtle toy from Moose Toys is capable of quickly swimming in water and slowly walking on land. As well as moving like a real turtle, the toy is just about the right size as a small turtle, which makes interactions seem even more believable.

Starry the blue turtle is the limited-edition toy that's sold as part of the complete tank set, but Moose Toys also sells four other decorated themed toys, like Sea Princess and Robo-Turtle, as part of separate individual toy packages.

When the turtle toy is not being stored in the Lil' Turtle Tank, the swimming toy could be introduced to bathtubs, pools and other small bodies of water where the toy can easily be retrieved. This is a charming toy that has the potential to amuse kids on many hot summer days.
Trend Themes
1. Battery-powered Animal Toys - There is an opportunity to create more battery-powered animal toys that can mimic real-life movements in water and on land.
2. Realistic Interactions - Designing toys that are the right size and have realistic movements can enhance the believability and engagement for children.
3. Water-friendly Toys - Developing toys that can be safely introduced to water environments like bathtubs and pools can provide additional play opportunities for kids.
Industry Implications
1. Toy Manufacturing - Toy manufacturers can explore the creation of battery-powered animal toys with realistic movements to cater to children's fascination with animals.
2. Aquatic Toys - The development of water-friendly toys can open up a niche market for toys that can be enjoyed both in and out of water.
3. Entertainment and Leisure - The entertainment industry can leverage realistic and engaging toys to provide children with more immersive play experiences.
