5.0 out of 5 stars Neat little toy, February 26, 2004

This review is from: Watch-A-Bug (Toy)

I bought this for my 4 yr old last summer and he used it all summer long. It has a durable hook-and-loop strap and the top snaps very securely. It works best for very small insects such as ladybugs, lovebugs, and crickets. My son has even put very tiny frogs in it. Insects such as dragonflies and butterflies are too large for it. It also came with a plastic toy bug in it and he loved using the fake bug to scare grandparents and other relatives.

My 3 year old loves this watch because it leaves his hands free to catch additional insects/bugs; and I love this watch because it tightly clicks shut! So many other bug "boxes" and containers just have lids that are placed on top but don't lock into place which means 99% of the time the little critters are going to end up in places you don't want them! (such as running around your house or in your car while you are driving and your child is strapped in his carseat so obviously can't re-catch them). I have bought about a dozen or so other bug "boxes" or "houses or "containers" and this is by far the best one. I only wish I had found it before wasting all my money on all those others.

I ordered this for our 4.5yo son for Christmas, to use next Spring. I broke down & gave it to him when it came today & he LOVES it! Now our 5.5yo son wants one too, & he's not even the tree hugger! LoL

I think it's a great idea-kinda gross to think they're on their arm, but there's plenty of sturdy plastic between wrist & bug!
