Remember the Hatchimal craze?

The toys were big news last Christmas - and the one before that - with littles ones going crazy for the mythical hatching creatures.

Although the toys are still available to buy, prices start at £38 - so it's not exactly a budget-friendly item.

However, thanks to B&M you can pick up a similar version for £1.99, especially for Easter.

The original Hatchimal egg is a battery operated toy which hatches when littles ones rub its shell.

Once the mythical creature is born, kids can play with the interactive animal, which grows from a baby to a toddler in three stages.

Its eyes light up and it is able to speak, sing and move.

B&M's Hatching Unicorn Egg is admittedly less fancy, as it cannot interact with little ones once it comes out of its shell.

The toy, which comes in a speckled shell, hatches when you add it to a cup of water, and once it is born you can "hug it and take it on magical adventures".

According to the retailer, the product is already proving to be popular with customers, and it is flying off the shelves.

In keeping with the unicorn theme, B&M is also selling silicone cake moulds .

Costing £1.99 a pack, you can make unicorn-shaped cupcakes with the 10-piece mould.
