Tender Leaf ToysThe Bug Hotel - 13 Wood Garden Bugs with Shelving Unit and Front Panel - Made for Little Hands - Open-Ended Nature Play - Science Learning Toy for Boys and Girls - Age 3+

This is a great, interactive toy for toddlers. My 2 and 3 year old love matching the bugs to their shadows and using them for pretend play. The wood is nicely finished, smooth and splinter free! I paired this item with the Little Wonders book “Bugs” and it was a perfect match for extended play!

Great gift for bug lover kids! High quality material!

It stated with The Very Hungry Caterpillar. My child became obsessed with caterpillars. Then we read other Eric Carle books and other insects became important, like grasshoppers and lady bugs. So even though this has nothing to do with Eric Carle, I got him this bug hotel.He's in love with it. He carefully places each bug into its storage area, then dumps the whole thing out and tries again. The pieces are a bit small and could be a choking hazard, but you have to know your kiddo...mine mostly seems to be able to handle it, but I do watch him to make sure he doesn't swallow these.

We love these well crafted wooden insect pieces. They are a great size for small hands. We use them in our dramatic play area and for theme related insect week. Look forward to using them for years to come.

Super cute toy. My daughter loves bugs so we got her “buggy” themed birthday presents and this is a super cute little puzzle/hotel where she can match the bugs to their spots. If the wood quality was a little better I would say 5 stars but it’s just that thin cheap wood but still a great cute toy!

I purchased this puzzle with no reviews, but took the chance because I tend to really like Tender Leaf Toys and especially nature-based toys. This is a sweet little puzzle made entirely of wood and very well made overall. The lid slides on for easy containment and each piece has the name of the bug on the back. My toddler has learned how to match up the bugs with their silhouettes and it's great for vocabulary too. When I have it out on his shelf I accompany it with a bug book. None of the paint has faded. Really happy with the purchase :)

It's cute but didn't come in any kind of packaging and sat in the rain for a few hours until I got home. So the toy's original box is water logged and drying wrinkled (making giving it as a gift a little grungy looking now) and the wooden toy sat in a moist environment for long enough to need to be wiped down and to possibly cause some warping of the wooden lid (we are trying to dry it flat currently). I'll upload a picture shortly. I really love this brand, I love their wooden toys.. but it really should be considered that wooden toys need more protection from rain than just the original box. A cardboard shipping box would helped a lot here, just as a first line of defense against water damage.

It arrived without a package. It is an expensive product, the least that should be done is to wrap it. Of course, because there was no wrapping, it arrived wrinkled and damaged.
