Solar powered fun! April 11, 2009
By Grace
Durability: Educational: Fun:
Length: 0:48 Mins
This little guy is so fun. :) I home school my children, and we used him during our solar power science unit. As you can tell from the laughter of my little ones, he was a hit!He works great in full sun, not much in clouds, and works okay under a 100W light bulb. It's a great tool to show your kids how solar cells work. My kids loved making a shadow over him to make him stop wiggling.I agree with other reviewers that the instructions are a bit confusing and I don't think a child could do it alone. But, he is surprisingly durable for being so little.You can see what he does in the video. I highly recommend him :)

Great but has hard-to-follow instructions July 27, 2008
By M. Carpenter
Durability: Educational: Fun:
This is a great toy and a lot of fun! However, the included assembly instructions were very unclear and there were some steps where we were afraid to go on for fear of breaking it. I can't believe that somebody under 8 would be able to put this together without quite a bit of help. Once it is put together, though, the grasshopper shivers and is actually pretty cute.

By Karen Nayak
Durability: Educational: Fun:
The toy is cute, but fragile. The pieces are tiny and not strong. While assembling, one of the wires broke off. WE managaed to solder it together again.Once done, the toy is super cute and my daughter loved it!

Not a Kit
Although I am happy with my little grasshopper friend, I am somewhat disappointed that what was described as an easy to assemble kit came as a fully assembled toy. Read more

NOT A KIT AT ALL
I was hoping for a little kit here to do a project - this came in and was already put together. It is a pretty cool idea but no assembly and no education to be had. Read more

IT DOESN'T WORK
I bought the toy for educational purposes and it has never worked, not even in direct noon sunlight. My son learned that solar technology still needs a lot of work.

Solar Grasshopper disappointment
When we purchased this item, the description said we would have to assemble, which is what we wanted. However, the Grasshopper came fully assembled which is not what we wanted. Read more

Never worked
This toy never worked and I doubt it ever will. Shipping cost more than the toy itself. So sad. Save your money and buy something from a local toystore. Read more

Really neat little burger
I really think it is a cool little gadget. Due to its' size, it was a little difficult to assemble but still worth it. I would definately recommend it.
