When the lovely people at WowWee contacted me to see if I’d like to review their latest interactive pet I thought this would be the perfect summer holiday task for my two little ones.

Boris the Blue Fingerling arrived in the post and was an instant hit with my 6 and 10 year old.  He hooks onto your fingers, door handles, tennis rackets you name it they’ve tried all the possibilities..

He moves his head and makes noises when you hang him upside down and is the perfect distraction for now to stop them asking for a living pet, here’s hoping they don’t want a real life monkey.  I’m still struggling to come to terms with the fact that we may have a dog in the not too distant future…

Priced at £14.99 they’re available in toy shops, supermarkets and online.  Age aim is 5 and upwards..

Verdict from my two: “We love Boris and would definitely recommend him to our friends”
