5.0 out of 5 stars Solar powered fun! April 11, 2009

Durability: 4.0 out of 5 stars    Educational: 5.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   
Length: 0:48 Mins
This little guy is so fun. :) I home school my children, and we used him during our solar power science unit. As you can tell from the laughter of my little ones, he was a hit!

He works great in full sun, not much in clouds, and works okay under a 100W light bulb. It's a great tool to show your kids how solar cells work. My kids loved making a shadow over him to make him stop wiggling.

I agree with other reviewers that the instructions are a bit confusing and I don't think a child could do it alone. But, he is surprisingly durable for being so little.

You can see what he does in the video. I highly recommend him!! :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Great but has hard-to-follow instructions July 27, 2008
Durability: 4.0 out of 5 stars    Educational: 5.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   
This is a great toy and a lot of fun! However, the included assembly instructions were very unclear and there were some steps where we were afraid to go on for fear of breaking it. I can't believe that somebody under 8 would be able to put this together without quite a bit of help. Once it is put together, though, the grasshopper shivers and is actually pretty cute.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cute toy but very fragile October 5, 2008
Durability: 1.0 out of 5 stars    Educational: 1.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   
The toy is cute, but fragile. The pieces are tiny and not strong. While assembling, one of the wires broke off. WE managaed to solder it together again.
Once done, the toy is super cute and my daughter loved it!

A nice little amusement for kids, but beware: it can break with rough handling. A nice novelty for the price, though.

3.0 out of 5 stars MUch smaller than I expected
While the grasshopper jiggles in the sun and stops jiggling when you put your hand in the way, it's very small and didn't interest my grandson very much.

I thought this was larger than it appeared on line, but it is so cute and fun.
It goes as soon as it is put upright on the ground!

5.0 out of 5 stars cute little guy
The concept is neat for the price. It is about the size of a quarter. It works in the sun and stops in shade. It simply shakes but teaches my toddler about solar power.
