This was a present for my 3 year old, but my 18 month old loves it more. He is a fan of puzzles, and this is more challenging and different. He really got the motion down quickly and it has really developed his precision movements and hand eye coordination.

This was purchased for my four year old Grandson who came to visit me. I think that I had as much fun with it as he did. The toy combines many learning experiences with fun. Some of which are: Hand eye coordination, learning names of insects, identifying colors, placing shapes and many others. This is a simple fun toy for a toddler

Any of the magnetic puzzles like this one is sure to be a hit. My 2 grandchildren 21 and 24 months old just love them. It is the first thing they choose to play with. They enjoy taking them apart and putting the pieces where they belong and then using the magnetic pole to grab the pieces out. They laugh and just get a kick out of it every time they catch a piece. These puzzles are a winner.

My son loved the magnetic fishing puzzle so much that I knew he would love this. I mean what kid isnt interested by insects.

WARNING - The string with the magnet on it make a wonderfull whip for your child so be carefull or youll lose an eye.

My 2.5 year old just got this today and has been playing with it a lot and seems to really enjoy it. The quality is very good, like all Melissa and Doug toys we have purchased (which is a lot!).

My son got this as a gift for his 2nd birthday and really liked it immediately. It is noise-less, which I appreciate after all the dozens of noisy / musical / talking toys. I like that the idea is simple, but teaches hand-eye coordination. The toy is a beautiful simple wooden panel with bug cut-outs. Each bug has a small metal piece, allowing you to "catch" the bugs with the magnetic bug net. It is very colorful and now my son can name each bug - "ladybug", "firefly", "dragonfly" and so on.
I would definitely recommend this toy.

my 21 month old son loves this puzzle, he was able, immediately, to "catch" the pieces and put them back. Worth the money!!!

My grandaughter is 2yrs old and loves this puzzle. She can name all of the bugs and place them back easily. She says she wants to go bug hunting and then we go.

Got this to take on a plane trip to CA for a 2year old. It helped keep her busy and she played with a lot after we got there. Cute and she's learning the name of some bugs she didn't already know.

My 2 year old son loves Melissa and Doug toys and this one is no exception. He loves to use the butterfly net to pick up the bugs and tell us what they are. I think it helps his fine motor skills - manipulating the magnet to pick up the pieces. Game is very durable, as all the Melissa and Doug items are, and will no doubt be saved for my grandchildren to play with.
