Want a toy you might have to chase around the house, looks like a cross between a bug and an electronic circuit and your kids will absolutely love? Let me introduce, the HEXBUG Nano. Actually, they come in all shapes (the Nano is the newest) and my first introduction to them was as a giveaway from my company. We're even selling them on our company website so you know they're going to appeal to the nerd in all of us.
Watch them in action and tell me you're not impressed - my apologies for the sideways video
Last week I threw a hexbug party for a bunch of families from our school. I stayed up late the night before putting the maze of interconnected pieces together, the buggy habitat, to prevent a repeat of the ZhuZhu pet habitrail nightmare. I put a couple sets together on the coffee table, and the next day my sons managed to cover the floor with an elaborate maze in like 5 minutes. It snaps together easily and is easy to take apart.
These bugs are amazing, they'll flip over, zoom around and push each other off the bridge in the Hexbug Nano Bridge batte, which is really cool. There were girls and boys at this party, kids from 4-8 and lots of parents. Everyone thought they were pretty cool, even if a few moms found them creepy. My son really did claim it was his favorite toy, although he may have been swept up in the moment.
