THE WHAT: Hexbugs
THE WHY: These micro robotic creatures are hot this holiday. Fast and sleek playing with them is science and fun married.
THE HOW: well, best to see them in action – check the video ->
THE HABITATS: Add-ons to hexbug play are “habitats” – sold separately and presenting different venues of play. From the starter spiral habitat to the battle bridge to the glow in the dark habitat there are tons of environment options (all sold separately of course).
THE BUGS: ant, inchworm, spider, larva…if you have a bug lover in the house there is a bug-a-corpia of choice.
THE REVIEW: Tons of fun – but definitely for older kids (small parts = choking hazard for little ones). Though a good choice for any science minded kid – we think this is especially fit for boys aged 9-11.
