5. Operating Instructions
5.1. Hatching Process
The Hatchimal needs your care to hatch. Interact with the egg by tapping, rubbing, and tilting it. Different interactions will elicit different responses (lights, sounds). The hatching process can take approximately 20-40 minutes of continuous interaction.

Once the Hatchimal begins to peck, it will slowly break through its shell. Continue to encourage it with gentle touches. After it has fully hatched, you can remove the remaining shell pieces.

5.2. Playing with Your Hatchimal
Your Hatchimal has different stages of development: Baby, Toddler, and Kid. Each stage unlocks new ways to play and interact.
- Baby Stage: In this stage, your Hatchimal will make baby sounds and movements. Pet its head, tummy, or back to hear different responses. Its eyes will change color to indicate its mood or needs.
- Toddler Stage: As your Hatchimal grows, it will learn to walk, talk, and dance. Guide it by clapping your hands or making sounds. It can repeat words you say.
- Kid Stage: At its final stage, your Hatchimal will play games and interact more complexly. Refer to the included quick start guide for specific games and interactions.
