    BEWARE. LADYBUGS ARE NOT FREE.

    BEWARE. The ladybug larva are not free. The "certificate" they include and advertise is only a link to purchase ladybugs from a third party website. Would not have purchased if I knew this.

    Good luck getting the bugs!

    Would have gave this 10 stars but the process to get the ladybugs is terrible. You also have to pay extra for shipping $16

    Questions??

    How do I ask a question? I would like to know... are there air vents/holes in the top so the bugs will "live"? And where are suggestions on getting the larvae and food for this product? After reading reviews I see a LOT of issues. -Customer Service feedback??
    1 reply from Educational Insights team - 3 years ago
    Hi Gramma of 2 There are no air holes in your Ladybug Garden because your larvae are so tiny they would be able to squeeze out. Don’t worry, though; there’s plenty of air for them to breathe! Included in the GeoSafari Jr. Ladybug Garden is a certificate to order ladybug larvae from Carolina Biological. The larvae come with food and instructions.

    How do I get food???

    Very cute, engaging, kids are really enjoying it. I am disappointed that the certificate didn't get me larvae, just where to order from, and I had to pay for them. I just received them ok, but no food was included, so now I don't know what to feed them or where to get food, even if I have to pay for it.

    Needs breathing holes

    It was a gift for my sister who loves ladybugs. The bugs died after being in it because they had no air. This doesn’t allow for the bugs to breath.

    So fun!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is such a cute and fun little project that I did with my kiddos. They really enjoyed watching the little ladybugs! The only con I have is maybe add more features inside the "home" next time and/or make it a but bigger. Overall, it was really easy and great.

    Amazing toy

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My 7 year old son loves this space circuit toy. It's fun and educational all at once. His dad is an electrician so he thinks it's cool he can also make a light bulb work! This is a great gift for 5-8year olds.

    Super fun

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son loved this. Very interactive and easy to play with. He loves circuits and some of the beginning cards were too easy but he liked the more advanced ones. I bought others for a gift for my nephews as well

    I mean wow!

    I received The Design and Drill Adventure Circuits free from BuzzAgent, Learning Resources and Educational Insights for my honest review. My son is very hands and loves building, fixing and taking things apart to figure out how they work. With that being said this we was the perfect gift for a fidity 9 year. It kept him busy for a long time and then it got me involved trying to help lol definitely worth the money!

    fun toy

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a fun toy! It not only teaches your kiddo but it is also just a fun family activity! The instructions aren't too bad to figure out. I haven't tried any other product like this one before, so it's nice to get something new! It just provides a lot of entertainment for everyone. I do recommend it!

    Engaging toy!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughter found this toy to be fun and engaging. She was able to enjoy this even after a long day at school. We found that it was challenging enough to be interesting but not so taxing that she lost interest!
