Preorder This Adorable Baby Owl Toy That Actually *Flies* Before They Sell Out

Wondering what you're going to see on your kid's holiday wish list this year? A brand new toy that really flies could be a top contender. Owleez interactive pets will be taking to the skies in October, and kids are going to love them.

The company behind Owleez, Spin Master, is responsible for some other mega popular kids products. Hatchimals have been among the hottest holiday toys for a few years running now, so there's a good chance the $50 Owleez will be, too. It's billed as the first ever interactive toy that can actually fly. Much like with Hatchimals, kids are meant to care for their Owleez and respond to their needs. That includes "feeding" them when they're hungry, meaning give them a little nibble of the included toy berries (don't overdo it, though, or the little guy will get gassy and burp). You can also pet them, tickle them, and sing and dance with them. They'll respond to your kiddo's care with their big light-up eyes and sweet coos. The more attention they get, the more fun stuff they'll do — they're programmed with more than 100 different sounds and interactions.

Your little one will probably have the most fun with teaching their Owleez to fly. The toy needs a little practice and encouragement before it's ready to spread its wings. It'll let out a super cute "Weeee!" as it shows off its move. Don't freak out if it crashes, though — you're supposed to just comfort it and get back at it. It's lightweight and durable, so it shouldn't do too much damage if it does accidentally crash into something. It's also programmed to sense the crash, stop moving, and fold up its wing so it doesn't risk further damage.

Owleez come with a cute nest that does double duty as the launch pad that helps the toy take flight. But the nest isn't just for playing — it also cleverly serves as a charging dock. It comes with a USB cable so you don't have to worry about ever replacing batteries. It can still be played with while it's docked and charging, but it'll have to stay grounded during that time. When it's fully charged up, just unplug and it's ready to fly again. You can expect to get about four or five flights out of every charge.

Owleez come in either pink or white, and are designed for kids ages 6 and up. The company warns that they're only meant for indoor flying. But a word to the wise — be extra careful if you've got a fireplace. Who could forget that hilariously sad video of a little girl losing her new toy to the flames? When it's time to fly, it's suggested that you place the Owleez at least five feet away from any walls or others objects it could hit (and maybe hold off on lighting up your fireplace, just in case).

Owleez will officially drop on October 4, but you can pre-order one now on Amazon.
