Best infant toy I've found!
»
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.

Bug Jug Fill & spill
»
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.

Great toy!

My daughter loves the bugs, but she also loves the texture of the "jug." It's really a great product and a good price.

My baby loves these bugs. She can hold onto them at 4 months. She doesn't fill or spill yet, but she likes rattling, squeaking and chewing on them. They are soft, durable, and absolutely adorable.

Definately a baby's toy.
»
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.
