Product Information
Full details
The Hatchimals Alive Make a Splash Playset is designed for children aged 3 and up who enjoy imaginative play and collectible toys. Its key benefit is the interactive hatching experience, where water activates the surprise reveal of color-changing hippo twins. A minor caveat is that the playset requires water for the hatching and color-change features, making it best suited for supervised play sessions.

FAQs
What age is this playset recommended for?
The Hatchimals Alive Make a Splash Playset is recommended for children aged 3 years and up.
How many Hatchimals figures are included?
The set includes two exclusive hippo twin figures.
Does the water need to be a specific temperature for the figures to change color?
Yes, the figures change color in response to hot and cold water. Using very warm and very cold water will produce the most noticeable color change effects.
Can the Hatchimals figures be played with outside of the bathtub?
Yes, once hatched, the figures can be played with dry or wet, and the color-changing feature can be reactivated with temperature changes.
What type of batteries are required?
No batteries are required for this playset; all functions are water-activated or manual.
How many accessories are included?
The set comes with 15 accessories to enhance pretend play, such as a rubber ducky, soap, loofah, cucumber masks, and towels.
Are the pacifiers removable?
Yes, the pacifiers on the Hatchimals eggs are removable to initiate the hatching process, and the pacifiers can also fit in the mouths of the hatched figures.
Troubleshooting
Egg does not hatch when swirled in water.
Ensure the water is warm enough to activate the hatching mechanism. Remove the pacifier completely and swirl the egg vigorously in the water.
Color-changing effect is not visible.
Confirm that you are using sufficiently hot and cold water. The color change is temperature-dependent; extreme temperatures yield the best results. Allow the figure to dry completely between temperature changes.
Accessories do not fit the figures properly.
Check that you are using the correct accessory for the intended purpose, as some may be designed for specific parts of the figures (e.g., towels for heads). Ensure figures are dry for easier accessory placement.
Water does not sparkle or change color.
The sparkling effect is part of the initial hatching activation. The color change of the figures themselves is temperature-dependent. Ensure the figures are fully submerged in appropriately hot or cold water.
