Playing with this non-tech toy gets kids off their phones and screens. The toys can bounce up to 50 feet high.
Ty’s Beanie Babies were one of the biggest toy fads of the 1990s, with fans young and old collecting hundreds of different characters. Now, a new generation is being introduced to the brand through Beanie Bouncers.
There are 12 collectible Beanie Bouncers, with Leggy, a purple octopus, and Fins, a blue shark, tied for most popular. Other characters include a monkey named Banana, a panda named Checkers, a bee named Buzzy, a giraffe named Gilbert, plus cats, a bear, a leopard and more.
