Xia-Xia are designer hermit crabs from an island far away. The have beautiful interchangeable shells and each have a tiny friend waiting inside. Their are four Xia-Xia to choose from: Bimini she loves to strut her stuff in different shell fashions. Trinidad loves to dance. Turks is sweet and bubbly. Tobago is always dancing to the Xia-Xia samba.  There are many different styles of shells to choose from.

Xia-Xia also have three different Playsets: Rio de Trio Village- “with funk colorful décor and a bonus of three rooms, Xia-Xia can skitter scatter back and forth through the set.”

Copacabana- “a perfect place for Xia-Xia to scurry and slide, this Playset even connects with the confetti Cottage so kids can build their own Xia-Xia world!”

Confetti Cottage- “an adorable home for Xia-Xia, the Confetti Cottage even doubles as a carrier so kids can take Xia-Xia on the go, and it connects with the Copacabana Playset.”

I have never seen a toy quite like these. We had a Xia-Xia party with girls and boys (some guest not in photos for privacy).  Our Xia-Xia party guests really like that you can play shell dress up with them. They also enjoyed racing the Xia-Xia. Each guest had a favorite Xia-Xia. However, the group had one favorite Playset, it was the Confetti Cottage.  They each wanted one!

Xia-Xia are best played with by older kids (3 years and older due to chocking hazards) on a large flat play surface. Xia-Xia crawl forward and backwards when you tap their claws.

As a parent, I liked that these were a unique toy that captured and held the kids attention. However, I am not a huge fan of the tiny (size of a dime or smaller) pieces. We had some guest less than 3 years of age so as soon as I saw the tiny pieces, I tucked them away. We also had a couple of the Xia-Xia and Playsets break.

To learn more about Xia-Xia or find a local retailer,you can go to their website or Facebook.
