Zimmiz is a loveable alien plush toy designed to work with the Zimmiz iPod Touch and iPhone 3/4/5 App. This cuddly little creature is sure to bring hours of delight to any child. Currently it is only available for purchase in green, but will shortly be available in pink and blue as well. The idea behind Zimmiz is to enhance the child’s experience with the app and bring the toy to life. Zimmiz is the brainchild of Adam Geha and Spiro Dimitriou of Australian based Big Foot Toys. Zimmiz are aliens in search of friendship after crash landing right here on Earth.
Insert your iPod into the slot on the front and watch your Zimmiz toy come to life. Zimmiz is also compatible with iPhone 3/4/5. Make sure you download the free app from iTunes first .
Firstly your child gets to customise their own Zimmiz, by choosing the eye colour, designing the shape of the lips and the birthmark by Zimmiz’s eye. You can even decided what kind of teeth Zimmi should have.
Once your Zimmiz has been customised the real fun begins. You can make Zimmiz laugh by tickling his cheek. Feed him a variety of foods when he gets hungry. You can even make him dizzy by turning your device upside down. If you want to throw Zimmiz a little off balance you can shake him from side to side , but be careful as Zimmiz doesn’t like this and can sometimes get mad. My daughter squeals with laughter when Zimmiz sneezes and forgets to cover his face, or when he gets so dizzy that he gets sick. Sometimes he gets tired and you can close his eyes and let him sleep. Zimmiz even likes to sing. If you want to have a little more fun you can play Hide n’ Seek or Zimmiz Says.
Zimmi toys are on sale via the Zimmiz website and they are currently priced at Au $24.99. You can also find Zimmiz on these social media channels:
