Scary little guy isn't he? Ben, along with his spider loving brother Zachary, have been enjoying terrorising their poor little sister who runs screaming anytime she sees the new addition to our family, a Wild Pets Spider. A few unsuspecting visitors have also fallen fowl to the creepy crawly as he comes scuttling along the floor moving just like a real spider (it's giving me goose bumps just writing about it - I hate spiders just as much as Zoey).
These spiders are very cleverly designed with touch sensors which lets you control the behavior of the spider. They have three modes including creep mode, explore mode and most frightening of all attack mode where they literally chase down any target in sight. To add some extra terror their eyes light up depending on the mode they are in, changing from green to blue to red when they mean serious business and are in attack mode.
What we thought
Wild Pets Spiders are in Ben's words "awesome". Both he and his little brother Zachary love playing with our new pet as do his friends who all want one too. The touch sensors are responsive and Ben, who has just turned 6, figured out pretty quickly how they work, loving to put his spidey into attack mode at every available opportunity although I have to say the creep mode is the one I find most scary. Definitely a toy to put on any bug loving kid (or adults) wishlist! You can find Wild Pets Spiders at various retailers including Amazon and they are aimed at children 5+.
