I thought this would be more of a project, it took my son about 2 minutes to assemble. Also, it was much smaller than I expected

My rating of Frightened Grasshopper Solar Powered Bug
Posted 1/2/2013 by DONIVAN HUWALDT

The grasshopper got lots of play initially by all. It was still one of the top toys that both kids, & adults were still doing the next day. I'm pretty sure it wil not be forgotten.

My son got this for a science fair assignment. Even after that was over he continues to play with the bug.

Does not work
Posted 10/7/2012 by J.W.

I got this for my son's 10th birthday. He had no trouble putting it together & we sat it in the sun for 6 hours and nothing happened. I'm assuming the motor in the back is supposed to spin and the grasshopper will make a chirping sound? It was not stated in the directions, I just read that off of someone else's fabulous review. My husband and I were with my son as he put it together so I know it was assembled properly.
