Hexbug Limited Edition Nano Easter Egg - #HEXBUGEasterEgg Review

Courtesy of MomSelect, I was able to recently host a Hexbug Nano party to showcase the new limited edition Nano Easter Egg.  Just in time for Easter, the Nano Easter Egg is packaged in an Easter egg and comes decked out with a pair of removable bunny ears.  My kids already love Hexbug Nanos and think the Nano Easter Egg is icing on the cake.  For those not in the know, Hexbugs are small, robotic creatures that resemble bugs. They skitter around and vibrate when turned on. They are packaged individually in tubes and a code is included to register your Nano online to play games and learn about science. Hexbug Nanos can be purchased individually. Habitat sets can also be purchased separately to make playing with your Hexbug Nano lots more fun.

In my opinion, the Nano Easter Eggs would make great additions to any kid's Easter basket or super finds at an Easter egg hunt. The packaging of the egg and the bunny ears on the Nano give them the ultimate Easter presence. My two boys and a few of my nieces and nephews received a Nano Easter Egg during the party I hosted.

The kids had a hard time breaking the seal of the eggs that the Nanos were packaged in, so adult help was needed.  Once opened, the kids had a heyday playing with their robotic bugs.  For such tiny things, they provide lots of entertainment.  Also inside each egg is a code to register online to play games and learn about science.  It was emphasized to the children about the codes because I can see how the paper might be interpreted to be trash and thrown away.  The bunny ears on the Nanos are cute and I think it's savvy that they can be removed so the bugs can be played with long after Easter.  Parents and kids alike had a great time at the party and raved about the Nano Easter Eggs.  A few parents even approached me asking where they can be purchased so they can gift their children with more during Easter.  These limited edition Nanos won't last long, so I suggest you hightail it and get some before they're gone.

As I mentioned above, Hexbug Nanos have habitat sets that the robotic bugs can be played on for added fun.  These are not limited edition and can be purchased at any time of the year.  One such set is the Nano Spiral Starter Set.  Included with it is a rare Hexbug Nano Mutation, spiral ramp pieces, two hexagon cells, one-way gates, and connect standoffs.  Although I'm sure that younger children would probably need help putting it together, my 12 year old son was able to assemble it all by himself.  With the habitat set, kids can place their Nanos in it to watch them scurry around and spiral down the ramp.  Orange tabs are on each Habitat Cell so they can be closed to keep the Nanos from getting out or be opened to attach other pieces.
