We were given a case of Fungisaurs for free to unbox and review. Opinions are our own.
Here’s an interesting idea. What if you take dinosaurs and cross them with Mushrooms. That’s how you get Fungisaurs. These are cute collectible figures are great fun for dinosaur loving and science loving kids alike. These edutaining toys help kids learn about biodiversity, dinosaurs and mushrooms all in one. In addition to the toys being collectible there is also a robust app and a full website with even more information. Kids can use their Fungisaurs to learn about the world around them. They can also take their Fungisaurs on fun outdoor adventures.
We received a 12 pack of Fungisaurs so that we were guaranteed a full set of the 8 Fungisaurs from series one. They were, Bracko, C-Rex, Chick-Rap, Paradots, Pterocap, Sailamander, Scaly-Anky and Trishroomops. Each Fungisaur is a combination of one dinosaur with one type of mushroom. I thought the idea was fantastic when I first heard of them and out of all the different ones my favorite is Trishroomops. Triceratops has always been my favorite dinosaur. Although, Andy seems to think that I would rather spend more time with the Chickraps.
There is a special AR app available in the App Store and with it you can bring your Fungisaurs anywhere in the real world. Andy had fun putting the Fungisaurs all over the place. He put Bracko in his bed.
He put Paradots in the living room and fed her, too.
With the AR app you first scan your toy into the app. You do this by rotating the toy slowly so that it does a 3D scan of the toy. WE did find this a little tricky but in the end we were able to scan each of the Fungisaurs into the App. One there you can learn about the dinosaur and the Mushroom. You can feed your Fungisaur and also make them dance. Then you can use the AR function to photograph them in the real world.
