Great for bugs, plants and amphibians!
We used these to collect things while on a nature hike, then when we got back to the nature center, we looked at what was found. We collected American Toads, tree frogs, many insects, moss, fungi, flowers and even a spider! We had only one instance where someone dropped one and the bugs escaped an...d had to be caught again, but the lid was not secure. The kids could look at the creatures and plants through the magnifier and from all angles. Just make sure the lids are on tight or you have escapees which can be interesting!

They don't make them like they used to.
I have purchased these boxes several times before for nature education programs, and have always been happy with them. However, sometime in the last year or two the style changed slightly and the quality dropped. They are cheaper brittle plastic than they used to be, so not as durable. Plus the t...op bug door does not stay secured very well. They will last if you are careful with them, but disappointing compared to what they once were.

I was hoping these would be better quality but they were not. Many of them would not close properly and the strings were way too short to put over the children's heads.

My granddaughter had a "Garden/Bug" birthday party. These were perfect for the take-home goody bag! Filled with some bug finger puppets, stickers and bubbles. They were a hit!
I would but this item again

Got these for Preschool Class for our Bug unit. Very well made. They can put plastic bugs in them for inside. And take them outside to find real bugs.
I would definitely buy again.

Unfortunately I had to return as the event was cancelled. Awaiting refund to my credit card as we returned unused. Your service regarding issue was great! Your representative was very understanding and said she would see to it that my credit card would be refunded as soon as they receive the return. I look forward to future orders and Thanks for being a stand up company and working with me despite cancellation of event. Regards, Ms. Leona O Jones Seventh St. Church

Bigger than I anticipated which is great, they are a good size. The air slits are a little large so they don't work well for lightening bugs for example. Regardless I am very happy with them.
Cute for specimen collection on outdoor trip

Compact, big enough for a few insects and leaves. However beware that several boxes can come cracked so order extra. 5/24 of mine were cracked. But excellent customer service.
