For the upcoming fall season, Hasbro will be introducing a series of toys to help kids immerse themselves in the series and explore a healthy range of emotions. The HANAZUKI MOODGLEAM Wearable Band is designed to help kids identify their current mood by attaching "Treasures" to the app-connected band, which will cause the band to light up with corresponding colors. Another wearable in the new toy set is the HANAZUKI MOODBLOSSOM Band, which serves as a portable way to store up to six Treasures at once. The full Hanazuki toy range will also include a light-up plush doll, a garden playset and a group of collectible Treasures. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.8/10 - Popularity: 98% | Activity: 97% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Youth](https://www.trendhunter.com/youth) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Emotion-tracking Wearables:** The HANAZUKI MOODGLEAM Wearable Band introduces a new way for kids to identify and express their emotions through app-connected technology. - **Portable Treasure Storage:** The HANAZUKI MOODBLOSSOM Band provides a convenient and portable solution for kids to store and carry their Treasures. - **Interactive Toy Experiences:** Hasbro's Hanazuki toy range combines physical toys and digital connectivity to create immersive experiences for kids based on the animated series. ### Who This Affects Most - **Toy Manufacturing:** Toy manufacturers can explore the development of emotion-tracking wearables and interactive toy experiences to engage with children in new and innovative ways. - **App Development:** Developers can create apps that integrate with wearable toys, allowing kids to track and express their emotions through technology. - **Children's Entertainment:** The introduction of expressive toy wearables presents opportunities for the children's entertainment industry to enhance engagement and foster emotional development in young audiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Emotional Well-Being Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heartfuls.md) - [Sensory Pocket-Sized Pets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nano-mals.md) - [Playful AI Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-tools-for-children.md) - [Interactive Pixel Plushies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pixel-hugs.md) - [Gamified Fitness Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bandai-vital-hero.md) - [Kids' Interactive Sensory Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/interactive-and-multisensory-toys.md) - [Expressive Plush Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mood-bears-sainsburys.md) - [Virtual Pet Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tamagotchi-uni.md) - [Expressive 3D-Printed Figures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solobo-emotion-friends.md)
