I was chatting to a six year old girl yesterday and she wanted to talk about fairies and how some people, including her, believe they are real. I can definitely see the appeal of the Flutterbye Fairies to young girls like her, whether they believe or not!
I would have loved this toy as a child, as a girl I would have liked the fairy characters, but I would also have been intrigued by the technology that made the fairy fly.
The Flutterbye fairies have a fan motor and use the same technology as the Air Hogs Atmosphere flying ball, but adapted to work around the body of the fairy.
Rather than using a remote control like lots of flying toys, the Flutterbye fairy uses an infrared sensor to detect solid surfaces beneath it. This includes a human hand, so a child can guide the fairy upwards without touching it.
The toy is set to launch in Fall 2013 in time for the holidays. I can see this being very popular with elementary school age girls.
Update: The Flutterbye Flying Fairy is available to pre-order for a release date of August 1st.
