[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wasn’t so sure about this at first but it really surprised me. My 7 yo granddaughter loved it. She was able to do it by herself after I showed her the first time. The little magnifying cubes are so cool when you put your painted bugs in them. Excellent product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product was not only fun, but also educational. I love that it included scientific facts about the bugs. It really combines our and learning. My seven year old girl had a lot of fun with this, and was able to make the bugs completely on her own. Even my three-year-old enjoyed it, but needed a little assistance. My only advice is to buy some extra light clay to go with this.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The kids had lots of fun creating a bug , then painting it. My 5 and 7 year had done trouble getting the bugs out of the mold by themselves. They thought it was so cool to put them in the container and look at them.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My 6yo enjoyed the multi-step activity that included both clay molding and painting.  It was very easy to set-up and help guide her through the first selection of ladybug.  The 10 different bugs makes for ongoing fun in several sittings.  It also was fun to see her work the next day after everything dried, proud moments!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was doing this with my 7 & 5 year old.  They loved playing with the clay and the molds, but showed no interest in using the magnifying cups as directed. At first we thought it was difficult to get the bugs out of the molds, but with practice it got easier. We did like the idea of it being a multiple step project.  They were able to do one part, leave, and eventually come back to finish. The play mat was hard to use because of it being packaged rolled up. We ended up taping it to the table.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a cool kit that lends itself to many hours of playtime. My 5-year-old, 9-year-old, and 11-year-old all enjoyed making the clay bugs. It did involve some parent support because our clay was particularly sticky and hard for the kids to get out of the molds (I'm not sure if this is a feature of this clay or if we had a faulty batch). But with parent help everything turned out well, and the kids liked that the bugs could be painted right away with no wait time. The magnifying storage cases for the completed bugs make a nice set up that the kids felt was "professional". 
We wish that they would make this kit with some other options besides bugs as well since the activity itself is a lot of fun but bugs don't have universal appeal.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When we took all of the items out of the box there were a lot of different items.  My 9 year old was surprised that the size of the bugs were small.  He thought that they would be bigger.  However he had fun making bugs and painting them.  The paint colors included are exact for painting the bugs their actual color, but you could make them whatever color you'd like and he had more fun doing that!  Finally, the magnifying fossil case is a neat way to display and show off your creations.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughter, who is seven, really enjoyed this craft. She liked pressing the clay into the insect mold. She chose to make a spider. She really liked painting it and making it look like a black widow spider. If your child likes insects, they will really enjoy this craft! I would suggest it for a school age child as there is a lot of detailed work involved.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was a really cool concept, but the instructions could have been a bit more clear. They did require adult assistance/guidance. The amount of time it says to leave it in the bug stand doesn't seem to be correct because when we follow the guidelines, the bugs don't come out well and get deformed. If we wait a bit longer, it comes out fine but you can't wait to long or it will get stuck. Overall it was fun.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was fun was we got the hang of it. The bugs are realistic and the wings made look even better. The colts are very vibrant. The only issue we had was removing the bugs from the molds using the directions given. Sometimes it would and other times we had to find another way to remove them. Overall, it was a cute and fun project.
