Customers Say

Customers love the Real Bugs Discovery Kit for its crystal-clear acrylic specimens that allow children to safely examine real insects from every angle. Parents and teachers appreciate how it sparks curiosity in 3-8 year olds, with many mentioning how even bug-fearful children become fascinated when using the included magnifying glass. The main drawback is the lack of a lid, causing bugs to fall out during storage.

Very creative

My boys are so obsessed with bugs and this toys delivered exactly the right curiosity. They are so fascinated by the bugs. The quality is so good. After so many toys out there that created for just the temporary play, I appreciate the quality so much. I have one autistic son and he has been loving everything from lakeshore and I mean we keep the toys for years.

My grandchildren LOVE this and we adults have fun identifying the bugs with them. They are 4 and 5 and we spent over an hour enjoying this when I brought it over. Their Mom tells me they use it alot. Unique, fun and a learning experience as well.

Great set!

I have used this set for several years as a preschool teacher and director. The children love to play with these and get a close up look at insects. The bug tray is perfect and a great fine motor skill as well. We have used these in a science area with magnifying glasses and they are so much fun. I just ordered a new set for my grandson for Christmas as he loves bugs and misses seeing them in winter.

Perfect for learning

Love this bug kit. We have several of these at our center and I ordered a few for the grandkids. They will look at them, discuss the differences of them, and will decide which ones are the ugliest or most interesting. The book is a real plus!

Great learning tool

My kiddo has played with this in a local community event, and loved it enough that we had to buy it. It's great how much details the child can observe in this safe way. I just hope the insects were obtained ethically.
