Bugs

In spring we teach the kids about bugs and this is great for them to see all the different bugs there are. I recommend getting this if you have a bug unit to teach.

Lasting Gift for any child that loves bugs

Our six year old grandson loved the bug collection, but did zero in on a couple of his favorites and seemed to pay little attention to the others. I have a feeling that with time he will enjoy, play with and will learn about the other bugs. This is a gift that I feel will last a long time. Can't be broken! That's a real plus in my book. The odor on first opening the box was very bad, but I was fortunate that I got the set early enough to air both the box and the bugs. I gave our grandson the bugs in a brightly colored laundry bag so he will hopefully keep them together in one place.

Awesome product, needs to air out

I got the box of bugs as a birthday gift. I opened the box they were in, and the plastic smell was incredibly strong. I aired them out as well as I could without opening the bag, but the smell remained The bug collection itself was a huge hit.

Excellent to explain insect body parts

We purchased these to use in several of our preschool classes. Wonderful manipulatives for little hands. Colors were a bit disappointing as they were not as bright as pictured.

HUGE BUGS!!! Perfect for small hands

These durable insects are great in water and on land! They are realistic but really big, which makes it fun for pre-school children.
