Em and I are so excited to be sharing about Potatoyz a really fun new app that turns online play into real life play! This is a sponsored post partnership. 
POTATOYZ, THE APP THAT BRINGS DIGITAL TO REAL LIFE!
Emmy is amazing with electronics. When I got my iPad I gave it to her and she had it all figured out in minutes. I’m amazed at how well she relates to electronics and how much she really enjoys using them.
We try to limit her time using electronics because we want her to have real-life fun too, and when we can find something that combines both we go all in!
Potatoyz is just that. Online and offline fun rolled all together into a really awesome app!
The Potatoyz app is free to download. Once you open the app you are up and playing in seconds. Potatoyz starts as a plain canvas. Kids get to customize and design their own Potatoyz and then play with them on the app. We had intended to order one for Emmy the first time she tried the app… but we didn’t end up doing it for another 4 days because she just kept designing more and more of them till she made the perfect one! She had so much fun trying different stickers on them, using their designed ones and creating her own with some freehand drawing.
When she picked a favorite it was time to order it. The instructions to order were so easy to follow that she did it all herself and handed it over to me when it came to the parent part… aka paying. Ours cost $19.99 plus $4.99 shipping.
About 10 days later her new little friend arrived in our mailbox. I’m not going to lie, the wait was brutal. She started checking the mailbox the same day she ordered it. If I told you she was excited it would be an understatement.
I took a video of Emmy when she just started using the app and when she got her Potatoyz in the mail.
I think this about sums up how awesome this it!
She has been playing with “Scratchy” (<— she named him this before he even arrived) for days now.
She even plans to give all her friends Potatoyz for their birthdays so that they can customize their own, and then they can have play dates with the kids and their new toys!
I think that’s a brilliant idea!
Oh how neat is this. I think all of my kiddos would get a great kick out of this. Super cool and fun!
I agree, it does look super cool and fun. I am going to get this for my niece and nephew.
Never heard of these toys before. They are different.
That is so cool! I think interactive toys like this are so much fun!
My daughter and son would love these! I’ve got to get one for them. Thanks for sharing this!
What a cool concept
my kids love online games and are always looking for a way to bring their online games to real life. I’ll have t9 keep this in mind for future reference.
Sounds like a fun little app. I love that they can customize their toys!
These toys are so cute. I love how they allow kids to pretend play and to use their imaginations.
Gah, my boys would LOVE these. I think I am going to get them each one.
What a cute idea for a toy and I love that it incorporates physical and digital play. My kids would have a blast customizing their own friend!
This sounds really neat. I need to get one for my niece she will love it.
This is a really cute idea. I bet the kids will just enjoy this app. An app for all ages.
Wow, how cool is this?! My son would love creating a toy that comes to life!
This is such a cool interactive gadget. My kids are really into this, so I bet they would enjoy it.
How cute! My son would love this! Something that can bring the imagination to life. Great idea.
That sounds like a really fun app. I will have to check this out.
I saw quite a few things like this at Toy Fair this year, and I know kids are going to go crazy over them all come holidays this year! I know when I was that age I would have too! (I’m sure mine would have had butterflies on it of course!)
Oh, how cute! Another great gift idea for my grandkids. I like that it came from France and the expression on your daughter’s face when she opened the package. Priceless!
I love how excited your daughter was when her package came! Sounds like a fun gift!
This is so cute! What a fun toy and it is great that it is good for kids to learn from!
My daughter is all about fun apps like this. She would have so much fun creating her potatoyz!
My kids would have a blast designing their own little toys. Sounds like a great idea!
That looks really fun. What a great keepsake it would be too!
My kids are all young adults and yes, they are definitely tech savvy. They don’t go anywhere without their cellphones or laptops.
That is so cool! I think my kids would absolutely love this!
This looks like a fun toy. I bet my youngest would enjoy it. I don’t have an iPad though. We only have android tablets.
What a great idea. I think my son would be equally excited to order a toy he made.
It sounds like a lot of fun–both the app and the finished product. I will have to check it out with my kids.
That is such a unique toy! I love that she could design it herself & make it perfect.
sounds like an amazing app.. we download new apps almost everyday. I have to check this out
This is so unique and fun. I like anything that allows kids to be creative.
How much fun. My kids would love this.
This is adorable. Her reaction is priceless, I would buy her a million!
What a fun way to teach kids that designs in the computer can be translated to the real world!
This is such a great app! Kids will learn to be creative and bring all their ideas to something tangible that they can play with, put on display or even give their friends as gifts. Thanks for sharing.
That sounds like such a fun thing to do for kids. It’s amazing that there are so many kid-friendly apps now.
Wow… what a fun idea. Love that the kids can be creative and use technology but yet also use their imagination with something in their hands when it arrives.
That is really a cut app! I bet my little ones would enjoy this on our road trips!
This looks like a really cute toy! I love the name your daughter picked out (before she even met him). lol I also really like the idea of giving these as birthday gifts to friends so they can play together!
This is so cute! Im sure it will be a hit with many kids.
Sounds like a really fun app. My son would like this for sure! Love all the pictures!
How cute! This is the first time I heard about these toys. My girls will love this.
This is a really cool concept. My daughter would totally love this, I love the thought and creativity they put into it.
How cute is she!! Love how excited she was.
My kids are very tech savvy. They know so much at such a young age. It’s interesting to see how quick they can learn things. I bet they’d really love this app too!
That is such a cute and creative idea!
This looks like a great app for kids. I will have to share this with my friends with little ones.
♫ There’s a place in France where the Tubulars all dance!♫ What a cute concept!! Wonder what The Grands would do with it… lol actually, that’s a mildly scary thought. ; ) Glad your daughter enjoyed the toy, and congrats to you for raising her to think of sharing her joy w/friends. BB2U
These are so cute and kids love these toys with the apps too. I will have to share this with my niece and sister for their little ones. I have not yet heard of the Potatoyz so I will have to check them out to. Thanks for sharing.
Wow that looks like it would be great fun. You have to love it when your kids are better at electronics than you are. This app really does look cool.
Oh my, this is the cutest thing. My 5 yr old would love to design her own little doll like this.
