Wild Republic Nature Tube - Projector Insect

Ages 3+

There’s a whole little world beneath the leaves, and this set brings it within reach. The Wild Republic Insect Nature Tube Projector invites children to explore crawling, climbing and flying creatures, from a spotted ladybird and dragonfly to spiders, a scorpion and a many legged centipede.

Create a miniature garden, build hiding places beneath pretend logs or send the creatures on a journey through the undergrowth. When the lights go down, the built in projector adds images to the adventure, giving curious kids something new to notice and talk about.
