[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My four year old LOVES bugs, even that is an understatement... this bug catcher kit is adorable! It has a hood seal on the lid so no creepy crawlers can get out. The backdrop is cute, he likes it, and is made out of a more substation card stock, same with the fact cards, they're well made and fine for outdoor, four year old rough play. The accessories are fun, especially the magnifying glass scoop thing, it's easy enough for my four year old to do in his own! We've only had this a few days and it's already gotten lots of use, seen lots of bugs and is a great addition to his bug paraphernalia. Highly recommend for all the budding bug enthusiasts out there.
Fun!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My 5 year old has really enjoyed the Let's Explore Bug Catcher! We have been catching lightning bugs every evening. It is very durable and comes with lots of fun accessories. I like that you can use it with real bugs, or inside with the toy animals! The only thing I did not like was the top lid has a small open area and some of our bugs have escaped.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My kids opened this the moment we got it in the mail. They love using the identifying cards to classify what they catch. Plus they caught a caterpillar and it has already cocooned inside! This is perfect for any kids who enjoy playing outside and need to add a little zest to the backyard!
Fun for my outdoor and nature lovers

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our 3.5-year-old twins absolutely love the Let's Explore Bug Catcher. The informational cards are great for identification and learning tidbits about their favorite bugs. I also have to comment on the durability of the plastic. They can be very destructive and it has held up to their play tactics. I would definitely recommend to anyone who has kids who love the outdoors and exploring.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My boys have throughly enjoyed this terrarium. They have made it a home for lightning bugs, worms and beetles. They love that you can switch the background from leaves to the desert. Another thing they love is the magnifying section. This is such a great toy for your little one.
