These Creature Peepers are wonderful!! Our 4-year-old just loves his! Before we had this, he was always bringing his newly-found "friends" into the house. Yuck!! Since buying the Creature Peeper, he still brings his 6 and 8-legged "friends" into the house- but now I am much calmer about it! He loves to catch all sorts of bugs and study them through the magnifying scopes in the top and bottom of this toy. Great fun for curious children!!

I purchased this product for my 4 year old and he was thrilled when it arrived, we went bug hunting almost right away. My only complaint is that the receptacle detaches very easily so my clumsy 4 year old would release the bug without examining it yet...he'll learn though. Overall we're happy with it.

I got this along with a bug book because my boys, 4 and 5, have started expressing a lot of interest.

What's to say? The Peeper does a great job of displaying captured critter magnified from both above and below.

My minor complaint would be that the top piece doesn't fit as snugly as I would like. I added some tape around the edge to make the top less likely to come off when inconvenient.

Overall a great toy and has been holding up well so far. Approx 2 months.

Bought this for my granddaughter who is five. She has had a wonderful time inspecting a multitude of unsuspecting creepy-crawlers. Her mother, my daughter, does supervise to make sure nothing that bites or stings is picked up for inspection.

The lid doesn't secure to the unit so it is only suitable for adult use. Children do not have the coordination to keep the unit upright while trying to view the unit from the side. Unfortunately, the lid that contains the bug falls off unless the unit is held perfectly level. This is not good if you are trying to teach a child to confront their bug fears.

I got the creature peeper, along with a lady bug house, and a bug book for my 3 year old niece who apparently hates dirt but looovveeessss bugs- go figure : )! Well my sister was getting fed up with her bringing creepy crawlies into the house and this was a good solution. She also takes her ladybugs out of their house and can look at them closely and carry them around with her everywhere, which you know how much the little ones like to carry their things around. My sister and niece love it and she said it is quite durable. It's been pulled on, dropped, you name it and is still in the condition it was received in! Really great, educational product without the yuck factor!

This product was purchased in conjunction with the laser vaccum gun for collecting bugs for a boy turning 6. This is a great magnifier as it shows the top and bottom of the bug with a mirror below the bug, but beware that the cone that rests on top does not screw on and you just have to keep it upright on a flat surface to keep it in place so your critter doesn't escape! Keep this toy outside if bugs give you the creeps! Otherwise great toy. Plastic could crack if dropped on cement.

My grandson liked this toy alot. Not only is he picking up bugs outside, he can put them into his peeper and look at them close up. It is real easy for him to use.

I bought it for my child and gave it away because the lid does not screw on or stay secured in any way. This would be a good product if they fix the top. When the bug is in the toy and your child walks around with it and the top falls off there goes the bug. I called amazon and they let me keep the toy and gave me the money back.

The item is cute and functional but the dome viewer top doesn't stay on, it pops right off. Would have been better if it screwed on and stayed in place. With a kid running around, it'll come right off.
