SmartLab Toys Bug Playground Review & Giveaway

Like most little boys, my son has a thing about bugs. He is always picking them up and playing with them, and he always wants to bring them in and make them pets. Of course, I have to draw the line with keeping them, but I do like to encourage his curiosity about all the amazing aspects of nature. A great way to give your kids the chance to really get to know their creepy crawly friends is with the adorable Bug Playground available from SmartLab Toys.

The Bug Playground has everything kids need to entertain their insect visitors. It comes with a bug catcher so kids can catch bugs without worry of getting bitten or accidentally squashing their new friends.  Once they have the bugs, they can put them in the playground. Inside there is a pool, slide, jungle gym, crawling tube, and climbing wall. There are air holes in the top of the playground so its safe, and when they are done playing, all the little bugs can go back into the wild, instead of into your house. The set also comes with a guide with lots of great bug catching ideas. My son loves his new bug playground and has spent the last few days trying it out. Mostly we have only found caterpillars , and he had to encourage them to get on the "rides", but he thought it was tons of fun. If you want one for yourself, they are available on Amazon as well as other select retailers.

The Bug Playground is only one example of dozens of the cool toys and games you can find for summer fun at SmartLab Toys. They also have rockets, microscopes, puzzles, art crafts and more. With summer only a few weeks away, its time to find some things to keep your kids entertained. SmartLab Toys is the perfect choice because their toys are always fun, always educational, and always affordable.  Check out their website to see all they have to offer and while you're at it, be sure to become their fan on face book.
