Hatchimals coming to Target this Sunday

Parents, listen up: You still have a chance to snag one of the most coveted toys of the holiday season.

Starting Sunday, Target plans to have the popular Hatchimals, priced at $59.99, back on store shelves, the retailer announced Tuesday. Customers are limited to two Hatchimals each.

The toys are interactive pets that hatch and can be raised "from baby to toddler to full-grown Hatchimal," learning to "walk, talk, play games and more," maker Spin Master Corp. said in a press release.

If you still can't find one of the toys in time, don't fret: Target plans to sell gift cards with Hatchimals designs. Parents also can download a free letter from Santa to let kids know that their Hatchimals "need a little more time before they are ready to be delivered."

"We have increased production and a whole new batch of Hatchimals will be ready to hatch in early 2017," reads a message posted on the Hatchimals website. "In the meantime, we have created an online resource center at Hatchimals.com/NorthPole to help kids and their parents during the wait. We are also partnering with some of our retailers to develop pre-sale and/or rain-check programs for redemption in January."
