Holiday Gift Guide: Pocoyo Toys

You may recognize this little guy by his face rather than his name: Pocoyo!

Yes, this is the three-year-old we all know and love from Nick Jr, PBS and Univision. And now there's a toy line to go with the popular Spanish series.

We received the Bump n Go Car ($24.99) pictured above and the Squeeze n' Play Pocoyo ($19.99). What I love about these toys right off the bat, frankly, is that they look cool. Cool to me, I mean. Pocoyo has a little bit of a retro 1960s look to him that makes the toys seem hipper than your average Diego dolls.

Bruiser loves the Bump n Go Car, which travels along until it hits something, then changes directions. He has a really great time playing with it. One feature you'll appreciate is that you can flip a switch so that the sound is on or off. Sometimes I'm just not down with the toy noise, you know?


The Squeeze n' Play Pocoyo ($19.99) is perfect for younger Pocoyo fans. It's basically a soft, plush Pocoyo that makes three different sounds when you squeeze his tummy. Very cute.

Other available toys from the Pocoyo line include:

• 6-Inch Mini-Plush Assortment - Preschoolers can take Pocoyo and his friends Elly, Pato and Loula where ever they go
• Squeeze n’ Play Plush - Plush Pocoyo, Elly and Pato play popular music from the show when preschoolers squeeze their tummies
• Bath Figures - 2.5-inch figures of Pocoyo and Elly have a special water squirting chamber while Pato floats along
• Pocoyo Water Taxi - Scuba Pocoyo and friends can float in the tub or be pushed along the floor
• Bump n’ Go - Pocoyo zooms around in his racing car while music plays! If the car hits an obstacle, it stops, moves back and makes a U-turn

Pocoyo toys are available at Toys R Us! They make a great gift idea for your little Pocoyo fans!

Disclosure: I received two Pocoyo toys in order to conduct this review.
