The Amazon Repeat Dot Kids Edition just got an adorable wildlife-inspired redesign, simply the circular smart speaker itself isn't exactly... cuddly.

Jazwares is looking to alter that and give Alexa some costly with its all-new, $20 Fuzzible Friends stuffed animals.

Although the Fuzzible Friends don't have built-in microphones, the colorful plushies come to life with Bluetooth and a kid-friendly Alexa skill. When the Fuzzible skill is launched on any of the all-time Alexa speakers, playing with a nearby Fuzzible Friend becomes an interactive experience.

These plush animals speak a unique linguistic communication with 140 phrases that Alexa can translate, with parental consent of course. When a Fuzzible Friend is on the road, or the Alexa speaker is out of range, kids can nonetheless brand their blimp animate being's antenna light up and have it speak gibberish.

Nigh of the benefits of transforming a Fuzzible Friend into a playmate come up via Alexa, though. When using the skill, a child tin can play color-guessing games, cull their ain story and more with their Fuzzible.
