Wondering what the hot toy of the season is?
When I first heard about HEXBUG Nano, I thought…hmm this is an interesting toy for kids!
But when I had a chance to review a bunch of these awesome little bugs and their habitats along with my two boys, I was so impressed.
How unique, innovative and quirky!
The HEXBUG Nano is a tiny 1.75-inch energetic micro robotic bug that uses the physics of vibration to skitter along and explore its environment on smooth surfaces. HEXBUG was designed to give children a positive experience with robotics at a young age.
The boys immediately fell in love with HEXBUG and quickly built the habitat sets and set those little bugs off to play. Rather than keep the habitats separate, the boys put all the sets together to create one large habitat. And they can be easily changed and re-built to different configurations.
My boys are older and can build and play independently, which mama loves of course! My little one who is almost five (sniff, sniff) loves to build stuff and enjoys mixing it up.
They could easily spend an hour building and watching these robotic bugs buzzing around, moving along the paths and up and down ramps.
The funniest part was when the boys sneakily threw a Hexbug down the back of my shirt!
Although the age says 3+, I would say that for younger ones, adult supervision to help with the building of the sets and making sure little ones don’t put bugs in mouths, is probably a good idea.
Seriously one of the best toys this season, HEXBUG Nano is one of the best toys for Christmas 2011!
