LITTLEST PET SHOP VIPs Boutique in Manhattan
Yesterday, I attended the opening of Hasbro's LITTLEST PET SHOP VIPs Boutique in Manhattan. The store is primarily geared towards girls (even though my son loved his pet dog and panda). I was surprised to learn that this pop-up store will only be around for eight days. Basically, it allows the kids to experience in real life the things that their VIPs (Virtual Interactive Pets) do on the computer.
There were computer stations, an ice cream (not real) game, picture-taking and more. Kids who complete each station get stamps that they can "redeem" for free t-shirts, mouse pads, pens and stickers (while supplies last). Of course, the new line of VIP pets (cat, dog, penguin or panda) are also available for purchase at $14.99. These plush toys are so cute ... they have these big heads and eyes. They also each have a unique code so that kids can "adopt" them in their online world. Although intended for kids 6+, younger computer-savvy kids (like my 3 and a 1/2 year old) will also enjoy them.
The LITTLEST PET SHOP VIPs boutique is located at 587 Fifth Avenue and will be open the following days and times: Oct 19-20: 9am-9pm
Oct 21: 9am-7pm
Oct 25-27: 9am-9pm
