My daughter is 9 months old and she loved the Melissa and Doug Fill and Spill Lunchbox so much that I bought her this as well. This is as good – maybe even better – than the lunch box.
The bugs all have at least one “manipulative” element:
– grasshopper – legs to grab, corduroy tummy, knotty antenna, crinkly wings, rattler
– spider – lots of legs to grab, corduroy tummy, jingly thing
– lady bug – crinkly wings, corduroy tummy, knotty antenna, squeeker
– butterfly – crinkly wings, corduroy tummy, knotty antenna, rattler
The “jar” also has a mesh fabric top (like a real bug jar) which is another sensory element that adds to the fun. My daughter loves pulling all the bugs out of the jar one by one and then offering them to my husband or I so she can have a free hand to pull out another one.
This is my new go-to present for all 1st birthday parties!

This was a very cute baby gift although make sure you buy it for a baby. I made the mistake of buying it for my 1 year old nephew and he had no intrest in it and neither did the other kids his age. I would think that this toy would go over better with a baby around 6-9 months.

Do Melissa and Doug ever strike out??? Not this time!!! Since I work with developmentally delayed babies and toddlers, I’ve found this a great toy for the child who likes dump and fill, but would benefit from experience using both hands in a coordinated effort. The cute jug must be held with one hand while the other goes into the jug and pulls out the bug. It takes problem solving and digit strength. The bugs are adorable and very sturdy. Each one has a different attribute (rattle, crinkle, etc.) Also great for play and labeling.

I purchased this toy as one of many to take on a long plane trip. My son was 10 months at the time and I thought he’d love taking them out and putting them back into the bug container. Not so much. While the toy is super cute and very durable, it has just sat for the last year. He has no interest in it whatsoever.

This is one of my son’s favorite toys, and has been since he was three months old. Two of the bugs (the spider and the grasshopper) have long skinny legs that are the perfect size for tiny fists to clench, and all the toys are so lightweight that they were easy for him to wave in the air even at three months. The spider was the first toy he learned to play with. The textures, sounds, and colors are fun too–and now that he’s almost eight months he likes playing with the jar as well, though he hasn’t figured out how to “fill and spill” yet. That fun still lies ahead, making this a long-lived toy.
The bugs are also convenient for me–they’re easy to squash into a stuffed diaper bag for traveling, and, though I haven’t tried it yet, they’re actually machine washable!! Amazing. If I were more ambitious, perhaps I’d sew loops onto them so they could dangle from the gym or the car seat handle, but I think they’re versatile enough as they are. A fantastic buy. I imagine the other Melissa and Doug Fill and Spill sets are fun too, but I would definitely choose this one again because of the little legs being so easy for small hands to grab onto.
