Kids are going bananas over the latest children's playtime craze. It's a fun new collectible line featuring adorably sized, cheerfully colored toy Bananas™ which smell like the real tropical fruit and come in six brilliant neon colors including banana yellow, as well as blue, purple, pink, green and orange. 

Each toy banana is a surprise just waiting for girls and boys to peel open, as MBE's kid reviewers Abbie and Naomi show you in this review. Inside, youngsters will discover one of 24 sweet surprise Crushie characters along with the cutest little accessories to make it their own.

"These Bananas are too cute," Abbie points out. "The way they're designed with a key chain ring you can even hang them on your backpack and bring them wherever you go to trade with friends. When I peeled open my first toy, I was so happy to get the Ofia Owl Crushie because I love owls. I really like the other little things this came with, too, especially the sticker gems that I can use to decorate my squeezeable character."

Adds younger sister Naomi, "Bananas are just adorable. My favorite color is pink, so I chose a pink banana toy to open first and found the Eddie Goat character along with a mini squishy apple, acorn and other accessories. They're so fun, when you sniff them they really do smell like actual bananas. And the best part is you can store everything that came with it inside the banana and repeel again when you want to play with it." 

Each surprise Bananas toy includes

• 1 Crushie character
• 2 Mini squeezable friends
• Gemstone stickers to decorate the Crushie and/or Banana
• Collector sheet with character sticker
• A hanging vine for displaying the toy
• Collector's Guide
• The resealable Banana doubles as storage

What makes this really an exciting experience for kids is you never know what they'll find hidden inside in these Bananas. All the Crushie characters are so cute, fun to open, and collect. But your child will be feel particularly lucky if -- like Naomi -- she gets Pipo Panda or one of the other rare Crushies which also include Princess Pi, Andrew Monkey, and Lucy Leopard. And, they will really squeal with delight if  they find the single most ultra-rare Crushie character of all: Gail Giraffe.
