These February 2021 toy innovations range from customizable contemporary dollhouses to expressive AI pets.
Standouts include The Plan Toys Modern Dollhouse, a "design-conscious, wooden toy that encourages creativity and customization." The dollhouse can be reconfigured into a multi-level or larger ground level home and is sold in a 20-piece set with multiple rooms and miniature furnishings. In addition to its aesthetically striking design, this toy encourages hands-on play and is a great way to reduce screen time -- a growing priority for many parents who are seeking to keep kids away from screens as they social distance.
Plush robot pet Moflin by Vanguard Industries is another notable example, featuring emotional capabilities with the help of artificial intelligence. Moflin is also designed to "continuously take in information from its surroundings via sensors, pick up on patterns and express its feelings."
