Don’t confuse them with potatoes. Fingerlings are fun interactive toys that can be hung on your finger and captivate your mind. From Furbies to Hatchimals, animals have proven to be popular toy options, and these electronic pets are no different. They’re the perfect second choice when a real pet isn’t practical.

The first Fingerlings launch in 2017 included exclusive pets for various retailers. Kingsley the sloth was sold at Walmart, Rose the sparkly monkey was sold exclusively at Amazon, and Gigi the unicorn filled the shelves of Toys “R” Us. Everything about the Fingerlings launch was viral and was heavily influenced by social media, including the toy idea itself. A brand manager at WowWee, the toy’s creator, saw a viral social media photo of a pygmy marmoset and Fingerlings literally came to life. The brand continues to be at the top of toy lists and continues the trend seven years later with the release of four new monkeys and two adorable tweet birds.
At a reasonable price of $14.99 for most pets (batteries included), Fingerlings make a great gift option or a spontaneous indulgence while browsing the toy aisles of major retailers. Follow along as we collect the most popular Fingerlings and catch a charming friend for endless fun.
Why Fingering is Fun to Play With
These sophisticated mini robots have built-in microphones and motion sensors that allow them to respond to sound and touch. Attach them to your finger and your Fingerlings pet will make up to 70 different sounds and reactions, including singing, kissing, snoring and even burping. Pet them, feed them, kiss them and watch their hearts light up. Each animal has its own unique personality, so you can interact with each pet differently. Discovering all the ways to interact with your Fingerlings is half the fun.
Plus, Fingerlings can go wherever you go. These portable pets can be carried in your pocket or hung upside down on your backpack to provide entertainment on the go. Collect them all and trust that your adorable friends will provide endless fun wherever you go.
