Poopsie Surprise Unicorn Toy Review

AD - Review Item. 

My little girl  is five and she really likes Unicorns, rainbows and slime so hot new toy Poopsie Surprise Unicorn sounded right up her street. Tipped to be one of the must-have toys this Christmas it is a surprise unicorn toy that is rainbow coloured and makes glittery slime. 

So what do you get in the box? 

Poopsie Surprise is in quite a big box, there are four unicorns to collect and you don't know which one you will get until you actually open up the box. We received Rainbow Brightstar which is a unicorn with bright rainbow coloured hair and luckily the one my daughter really wanted to receive. 

When you open the Poopsie Surprise it is a bit like open a blind bag as when you open the wrapper lots of little blind bags are revealed. Inside the blind bags are accessories for the unicorn such as clothes, hairbrush, unicorn food and feeding equipment. 

Once you have unwrapped the box and found all the blind bags you can then open the case to see which unicorn you have received. We had Rainbow Brightstar but there was also Oopsie Starlight, Whoopsie Doodle and Dazzle Darling to collect. 

The unicorn is hard-bodied and has long, soft flowing hair and a golden unicorn horn, she has big eyes with long glittery eyelashes. The outfit she came with was made of plastic but was easy to fit on the unicorn, it was a blue t-shirt with a rainbow on and a red frilly diaper. 

Making Slime

When we first opened the box and realised there were lots of different slime making bags and noticed there were lots of steps to make slime on the instructions - I admit I was dreading getting started making the slime. 

You need to make sure the dial on the unicorn is turned to feeding then you can start to feed the unicorn the ingredients to make slime. There is a clever little feeding spoon included which makes this a lot less messy then I imagined. After you have fed the unicorn the ingredients and give her water you then need to cartwheel her (to mix all the slime together) before sitting her on the potty and pressing her heart belly button to make her poop slime. 

We tried making slime twice and each time this stage was very messy as the slime mixture was just leaking out of the unicorn when we cartwheeled her. I am not sure if we were doing something wrong but we couldn't find a way to stop it leaking everywhere. 

When you put Poosie Surprise on the potty she will poop slime but you have to wait 15-20 minutes for this to set. It took a bit longer for our slime to set properly so maybe we had added too much water. Once the slime is set you can put it inside the rainbow cloud keychain that is provided and your child can carry the slime around with them. 

What Did I Think? 

The Unicorn is lovely and the idea behind it is great but for £50 I think you should get more slime making sachets as you only get enough to make four very small batches. You can buy extra slime making kits which cost £10 and which I would recommend buying if you do get this toy for a Christmas gift. 

What Did The Kids Think?

My daughter loved the Poopsise Surprise, the whole opening it and discovering the blind bags and which unicorn she has was super exciting for her. She enjoyed making the slime and feeding the unicorn. She also really liked that she could store the slime she had made in her keychain. She also really likes just playing with the unicorn on its own without making slime. 

I think that the Poopsie Surprise Unicorn is a good idea and I can see why they will be so appealing to children. I liked the surprise element to them, not knowing which unicorn you would get and all of the blind bag surprises that we were not expecting. The unicorn itself is lovely and I like that children can play with it on its own. However, I find the whole slime making element really complicated and I can imagine it frustrating lots of people on Christmas morning with impatient children.
