Fingerlings Monkey Tricks to Impress your Kids

The Christmas 2017 “Toy of the Year” was Fingerlings. I will admit that none of my boys (ages 9,6,3) even had these on their Christmas radar, but I thought they looked adorable.

So I kept them on my radar and eventually found 3 different colored ones. Once I had them, I researched a few Fingerlings Monkey tricks to show my boys after they opened them.

Let’s take a look at some of the fun tricks they were able to do!

They made even more Fingerlings!

I know, I know you are looking for great fingerling monkey tricks but I just saw something that is amazing and had to share!

What is it? It’s WowWee Untamed Raptor Fingerlings… yes, Raptor Fingerlings! They have created dinosaur Fingerlings!

Check them out below, they have four colors currently – blue, orange, purple, and green! If dinosaurs aren’t your kiddo’s jam, don’t worry, keep scrolling for fun monkey tricks!

Back to Monkey Tricks! So Christmas morning came and my two oldest boys opened them with their Nerf guns, Legos, & Star Wars figures. They commented they had seen them on TV, but they were only mildly interested.

My youngest was too busy with his new Food Truck to really enjoy any of his other presents, so his reaction isn’t truly something to go by.

As the wrapping-paper-ripping settled, my boys began to truly explore their Christmas presents. We opened the Fingerlings up and they instantly started making noises.

Now this is the reason I am writing about these little monkey guys – because it was a true “Mom is cool” moment. This is not a sponsored post. I just want other moms to be in the Cool Moms Club!

In case you aren’t aware (like my boys weren’t) these little monkeys can toot, burp & snore. I have caved in many ways as a #boymom & one of those is that I relaxed on my bathroom word & bodily function lectures.

I can still lecture well, especially if we eat at a restaurant and someone burps loudly. However, boys just find this type of humor funny, so, at home, I’ve chilled a bit on it.

So the monkeys were a hit once I showed them how to make their monkeys release bodily noises. We then went on to try to discover all of the other things these adorable little guys can do!

Technical Stuff:

So Fingerlings have two little sensors on top of their heads that control a lot of their functions. Sometimes doing the same thing, but holding your monkey upside down, creates a different reaction.

If you have found something fun that your Fingerlings can do – let me know! I’d love to not only have my boys try it out but add it to the post!

Fingerlings Tricks – Burp & Toot

If you want your Fingerlings to Toot, you need to cover their head with your hand!

Flip over your Fingerlings and hold their head in your hand & they will Burp.

 

 

Fingerlings Tricks – Kisses & Sneezes

Blow your Fingerlings a Kiss and he will make a Kiss sound back! We’ve figured out this works better if you make the kiss noise and then “blow” lots of air at your monkey.

Sometimes your kisses might make your Fingerlings Monkey Sneeze instead!

 

Fingerlings Tricks – Pet Them

If you run your hand over the top of your Fingerlings Monkey’s head it will respond by making adorable little noises, almost like Sighs. Its eyes will Blink like it’s happy too! They also love to turn their heads back and forth when interacting.

Fingerlings Tricks – Sleepy Time

You can put your Fingerlings Monkey to sleep by rocking him back and forth in your hands. His eyes will start to flutter closed and he will even start Snoring. We’ve noticed that if you leave them hanging upside down for a while, they will fall asleep too.

Fingerlings Monkey Tricks – Talking

These tricks don’t work perfectly every time. But even if your Monkey doesn’t make kissing noises back or start to sing, he will most likely do some Monkey Talking back. They have over 40 different noises that they can make.

 

Fingerlings Groups

If you have more than one Fingerlings in your house, you can have them interact with one another! We put two together and they gave each other kisses. There was also lots of head-turning and monkey chatter going back and forth.

Do you know of any other Fingerlings Monkey Tricks that I’ve missed? Please let me know in the comments if you do! I would love to add them to the list.
