    Very cute, but very small. It was well worth the money for the 'cool science' aspect, but is not a toy to be really played with; especially for younger children. We homeschool, though, so it will be an asset for solar energy lessons.

    Solar Grasshopper Fun Teaching Tool

    This product was given to my kids by their grandparents. It was assembled by my 11 year old son and enjoyed by both children (my daughter is 6). As soon as it gets in the sunlight it vibrates in the palm of the hand, and stops immediately when you walk into the shade. I took it to my daughter's kindergarten last spring and the children had a great time taking turns with it on the playground, holding it flat in the palm of their hands. The teacher liked it so much that I ordered one for him to have for his classroom this year. Really cool!

    great educational toy
    Posted 6/9/2009 by Tara Henrichon

    I purchased this as a demonstration toy for the nature center that I work at. We used it recently at a community event and the children and adults alike loved watching it (and the solar robot, and hopping solar frog) jump around -- and sometimes off --- the table they were set up on. Many visitors to the Fair asked for the website they could order it from and we happily passed it on!
