Magic Jumping Beans Posted 10/18/2011 by CRYSTAL GIAFFOGLIONE
My kids just think these are so magical and amazing
Information about Posted 9/9/2011 by Nethercott
We love these jumping beans!! My kids are 6 yrs old and 3 yrs old and they love to watch them. If you place them in sunlight they go CRAZY!! As long as you don't leave them in exteme heat/cold you can play with these for a long time!! I would recommend this product to anyone wanting to see something different and fun.
entertained Posted 9/7/2011 by Angela Bryan
This is the first time any of my three children have seen jumping beans. They are pretty excited about them. They enjoy holding them and just watching them jump and move. My husband and I are pretty entertained by them too. It's nice to see that they are still available for purchase. Check out jumping beans on line to see how to care for them and make them last longer. I only put "plays with it once in a while" because we have been busy and they tend to forget they have them. This was a fun buy!

At first my grand daughter was afraid of the beans but then wouldn't put them down. My son-in-law had never seen or heard about jumping beans and was amazed.

I'm glad you advertised these and at a reasonable price. Some vendors have an order form for when they're in season. I have not heard back from those vendors. I think all 3 of my beans are still kicking. They are a delight to the heart of a grown up kid. There are many of us 70s and 60s retro lovers out there! Keep the good stuff coming.

The Jumping beans are a crazy item...not sure what to think of them....almost a little freaky!

I gave to my 4 year old grandson. I'm not sure how much he plays with it, but he and I had fun with it when we were together.

At first they didn't move much. After a few days, the instructions said they like to be "misted". So I misted them the best I could. I thought I allowed enough time for them to dry. I closed up their individual plastic boxes and didn't think about them for awhile. After a couple of days, I realized I hadn't heard them "clicking". I checked on them and could see they had begun to mold. I had not allowed enough time to dry or overwatered them. Nevertheless, I dried each one individually and left their boxes open again. They have never been more active!! They are jumping like crazy! I think they were thirsty! ha!!! We can hear them from all over the house! A lot of fun!!!!

I was disappointed with these. My 2 sons were not interested in them at all. They barely move. Not exciting.
My rating of Posted 1/4/2011 by Christian Mirowski
i remember these from when I was a kid! Couldn't resist getting them for my children. They think they're pretty cool, too. Mostly they sit on the table and the kids check in on them every once in a while.
maybe I'm just easily amused... Posted 11/27/2010
These little guys are neat. Ordered 3, assuming I might get a dud or 2, which I did, but I can't complain for the reasonable price I paid. Very cute little container. Should come with a reminder about how to take care of them. I got used to hearing the little clicking that kept me company : ) and kinda miss the little guys when I gave them away as a gift.

The beans do jump but not much, and not often. It may be due to the colder weather.

Came jumping and a few weeks later still jumping around!
Review for Posted 9/20/2011
I got the jumping beans for my neice who is a kindergarten teacher. She will be used them in a teaching segment on plants and insects. She said her students were very interested in the jumping beans and were very excited to watch and handle them in their little box.
jumping beans Posted 12/9/2011 by EMILY G HEINZEN
It is neat when they are jumping but that is sporadic. We cannot figure what makes the beans jump and lately they have been quiet, and I assume they are dead?
Product review of Posted 11/30/2011 by Ema Godfrey
fun for a birthday party. The jumping beans worked best when they were put in the sun.
Kinda neat Posted 9/7/2011 by Gail Oehl
At first, my 5 year old daughter loved them. She thought they were really cool and took them to school for show and tell the next day. Then she got bored. They hopped around for a few days. In less than a week they were pretty much quiet. They didn't seem to like to be picked up or moved because they would stop hopping for a few minutes and then start up again. I would have liked it better if they came with some instructions or information.

I bought these for my grandchildren because I remembered how fascinated I was when I had them as a youngster.
Fat Brain Toys Is Awesome! Posted 8/30/2011 by Dodie Arrowood
Product just as described! The Mexican Jumping Beans are like pets to my 5yo son & he takes care of them because he knows there are living creatures inside the beans.

Very fun jumping beans--when they jump.

2 Jumping Beanditos in a Box Posted 8/28/2011 by stymie - GRANDPARENT
You may be pioneers in reviving the popularity of a very old traditional simple pastime. My father gave me a couple when I wa a schoolboy and he said he played with them when he was a boy which was more than a century ago. I know I always carried a jumping bean and horse chestnut (buckeye) in my pocket, just to wile the idle hours away during school busy time!

Jumping Beans Posted 8/25/2011 by STEPHANIE A ANDERSON
Fun, silly toy.
My rating of Posted 10/12/2010
I bought twelve of these Beanditos for birthday party favors and they were a huge hit. Most of the children were sitting with their beans for a long time after the party... It's three days later and the beans are still jumping and the kids are still fascinated (and treating them like pets). Awesome!

Awesome! I remember these from when I was a kid. My kids are just as amazed as I was.
Information about Posted 9/21/2010 by Tami Ellis
Son had never heard of these and found out alot of adults hadn't either, the adults are just as mesmerized as the kids...great conversation piece especially if you know the info behind them....very inexpensive and very prompt shipping as well as good packaging. Makes a unique gift!
As Much Fun For The Adults Posted 9/15/2010
The kids haven't figured out what makes the magic beans jump. They have used their imaginations to come up with lots of interesting theories on what makes the beans jump.
Fun toy Posted 9/14/2010 by Susan Shearburn - GRANDPARENT
My grandsons ( ages 3 and 5) love them. They keep them next to their radio in their bedroom and watch as the beans dance to the music!

The adults have enjoyed the beans. . .even more than the children. Fun!
Dead Beans Posted 10/1/2011 by Ken Tillman
We bought five of these to give to our five grandchildren but the beans in three of the five boxes were inactive or dead. We've given them air and warmth but they will not move. Very disappointing.
Freaked out my daughter (in a good way) Posted 9/11/2012 by Laurie McCabe
I purchased two sets of these and they were in a box that I had sent to my daughter's house. The gifts inside weren't for her family, so she hadn't opened the package; it was waiting for me to arrive in her town. I received this text: "What the heck are jumping beans and what are they doing in my house?" Apparently, she had spent twenty minutes looking for the source of the scratchy clicky sound in their guest room and she was convinced there was a mouse in the house. THEN she remembered I had mentioned them being in the box. She later played the trick on her husband, so it was fun for all!
Educational, fun! Posted 9/8/2012
We bought this for our 5 year old nephews birthday. He didn't know what it was or get excited when he opened it but when he got it home and started playing he couldn't get enough!
Jumping Beans Posted 9/6/2012 by Julia Stoddard
Fun activity for younger children.
Product review of Posted 8/29/2012 by ChristophersNanny - GRANDPARENT
I bought two sets of beans.One set for my autistic 3 1/2 year old grandson and the other set for another relative the same age.(typically developing)My grandson shows no interest.The other little boy is loving his jumping beans & seems proud of himself for having his own "pet".I found a website that tells you how to care for the beans and even has videos so the kids can see what the caterpillars & moths look like.I think it is a neat way to start to teach a child the responsibility of having a living pet to care for.
Hop too it!

Kids were besides them selves coming up with ideas why the beans jump. 10 year old come up with scientific ideas, 6 with magic, fantastical ideas.
