4. Operating Instructions
4.1. Nurturing the Egg (Stage 1)
Before hatching, your Hatchimal needs your care. Interact with the egg by tilting, tapping, or touching it. The more you play, the faster it will be ready to hatch. Pay attention to the eye colors for clues about its mood and needs.

4.2. Hatching (Stage 2)
When your Hatchimal is ready to hatch, its eyes will glow rainbow colors. It will begin to peck its way out of the shell. Continue to hold and interact with the egg to encourage the hatching process. If it pauses, hold the egg to encourage it to continue.

4.6. Teaching Your Hatchimal Its Name
Your Hatchimal can learn your name! To teach it, squeeze its belly and press its head at the same time. When its eyes turn solid blue, say your name clearly. Once done recording, release its head and belly. Your Hatchimal will then use your name in everyday chat. You can record new names at any time by repeating these steps.
