I really love this little bug. Its adorable and my nephew loved it. It ended up being perfect for a little family gift exchange. Thanks so much and I was so excited to see all the other educational products you sell.

Information about Frightened Grasshopper Solar Powered Bug

Rating: 
The frightened grasshopper was very easy to assemble. The instructions were simple and my 10yr old had no problem following them. The toy was smaller than I anticipated, but my child has enjoyed playing with it.

I gave it to my son last night and I was surprised how small it was but it was really cute. He really enjoyed putting it together and really enjoyed taking it outside and seeing it work! Even the neighbor kids enjoyed it.

Solar Grasshopper Fun Teaching Tool
Posted 8/21/2009 by Tracy Peterson
Rating:
Setting: Home
This product was given to my kids by their grandparents. It was assembled by my 11 year old son and enjoyed by both children (my daughter is 6). As soon as it gets in the sunlight it vibrates in the palm of the hand, and stops immediately when you walk into the shade. I took it to my daughter's kindergarten last spring and the children had a great time taking turns with it on the playground, holding it flat in the palm of their hands. The teacher liked it so much that I ordered one for him to have for his classroom this year. Really cool!

great educational toy
Posted 6/9/2009 by Tara Henrichon
Rating:
I purchased this as a demonstration toy for the nature center that I work at. We used it recently at a community event and the children and adults alike loved watching it (and the solar robot, and hopping solar frog) jump around -- and sometimes off --- the table they were set up on. Many visitors to the Fair asked for the website they could order it from and we happily passed it on!

A Fun Solar Wonder
Posted 4/23/2008 by Samantha Crow
Rating:
This grasshopper trembles like crazy. He has quite a lot of power for a little guy! Quick to assemble. Great for a few minutes of fun. Works through a sunny window and in bright artificial light. Cute, too.

My 12 year old grandson really enjoyed it. It was easy to build. He thought it should do more then shake under a light but he still enjoyed it.

My rating of Frightened Grasshopper Solar Powered Bug
Posted 18 days ago

Setting: Home
Very cute, but very small. It was well worth the money for the 'cool science' aspect, but is not a toy to be really played with; especially for younger children. We homeschool, though, so it will be an asset for solar energy lessons.

Review of Frightened Grasshopper Solar Powered Bug
Posted 3/4/2008 by Elizabeth Woods
Rating:
The product will be used by my high school students to teach elementary students about the forms of energy. We want to teach that solar energy can be used to generate electricity. Also that radiant energy from the sun can be transformed to electrical energy with the use of a PV cell and that a motor (the inard of this toy) transforms electrical energy into motion. This toy is a kid friendly way to get the message across. I think it will work really well! However, this toy needs to be super close to a light source to work and did not work at all with florescent bulbs.

Didn't even get to try it

As soon as we opened the box, my son pulled a little too strongly on the blue and red wires and detached them from the solar panel body. Unfortunately, we didn't even get to make the little grasshopper. It looked pretty cool though. Wish we could have tried it out.

Very fun and easy to put together. My 8 year old daughter found it and assembled it on her own without us realizing it. She had no trouble and was able to put it to the test after 20 minutes. It's been a great learning tool and she will be using it for an upcoming science project.

This was part of a gift certificate for my 13 yr old son from my parents. He had a blast assembling the little grasshopper. When he brings it out to play with - his younger brothers always get a kick out of how the grasshopper trembles near any light. A very ingenious toy!
