So, we bought this for our five year old grandson for Christmas. He loves bugs!! Not so much his grandma We will see what he thinks come Christmas Day!!
We had a program for children up to age five that included a lot of toys for them to explore. The Real Bugs Discovery Kit was the most popular item there. The kids were mesmerized by the different bugs, and they loved to take them out of the slots, look at them up close with the magnifying glass, and put them back in the tray. They really liked this and were engaged with it for a long time.
These are fabulous!! They are sought-after by a number of children year after year and have withstood the test of time! These bugs are made well and have weathered the storm in our classes with little to no damage.
This was a great gift for the grandkids. Opens up their inquisitive minds.
Children were so excited to see the different bugs. Highly recommend!
I'm not a big outdoor person because I am terrified of all bugs! So when we have outdoor play, it's a brief session of bug exploration. This Discovery kit is perfect for me because I don't have to touch real bugs, yet my kids still get the experience and visual of them.
It helps the inquisitive mind of young learners.
A perfect gift for a child that loves being outside and digging in the dirt - I won’t be surprised if this is the beginning of a career as an Entomologist!
Purchased this for my grandson who is obsessed with insects. This is for his birthday in October, so I haven't given it to him yet, but I'm certain he will love it. I especially like that the insects are encased in lucite which will allow him to study them from every angle without damaging the specimens. I'm looking forward to seeing his reaction in October.
This was a gift for a 3 year old interested in bugs. She loved it, and kept her occupied for longer than a 3 year old's attention span. She wants to find these bugs in the 'real life world.' The individual pieces fascinated her in how did the bugs get inside. She could clearly count the legs which differentiates insects from spiders, and is now counting legs on live specimens. A great educational tool.
