ToysmithChasing Fireflies Kids Game - The Game of Shine & Seek - Interactive Games for Kids - Indoor & Outdoor Game - for Ages 3+, Blue,Green

I have a 6.5 year old and a 3.5 year old that both have a blast with this game. All of our fireflies worked--just wanted to mention that as some reviewers had an opposite experience. They are bright and they "blink" like a firefly. You get 5 of each color and the kids each get a plastic mason jar to collect their fireflies. We have had this game for a while now and have found multiple ways to find fun and the fireflies are still going strong.We use it to play hide and "bug" seek with the kiddos. We have used it outdoors and indoors. We have found its more fun for the kids if you hide them while the kids aren't looking. For example, we have our kids wait inside with one parent while the other parent hides all of them in the backyard, or we have the kids wait upstairs while we hide them in the basement for play on rainy days. We've also played it where the kids hide the each other's fireflies! You can also used it to play a similar capture the flag type game. We've done family teams where one team hides them in the front yard the other hides them in the backyard--switch and whoever finds them all first wins! Love it and will purchase it for birthday's in the future. Huge hit at our home and with extended family and a huge parenting win! We like to get creative with the almost 7 year old and it's been fun to challenge her with finding some tricky lightening bugs!

These are the cutest and bring summer nights to life. The batteries last a long time and they realistically flicker on and off like real fireflies. Love the storage jars they come with as well!

very cute, love how they blink, grandchild loved them

This is such a cute idea, and the kiddos will have a blast!

My grandkids have had SO much fun with these. They are 2 & 6. Definitely would buy again and probably will for bday gifts for other kids.

This is a cute toy and a great idea with a couple of flaws. The first is the fact noted by a number of reviewers that many of the fireflies don’t work out of the box. I purchased extra batteries in anticipation of a problem. Only 2 worked initially, but when I used a tiny screwdriver to remove the tedious little screw and took out the tiny batteries, wiped them thoroughly and reinstalled them, every single firefly became functional without need of new batteries. All was well until my grandson hid a bunch of them and then forgot where they were. We are still missing four! I’m not sure how long they continue blinking before their batteries give out, so I wonder if our lost fireflies are still in their hiding places blinking away, hoping to be found! Be sure your little ones understand that should hide them where the blinking light can be seen and that they need to remember the hiding places. They don’t have an auto off feature to turn them off if they aren’t found after a long time so they will keep blinking until the batteries run out.

This game is great for keeping littles busy in a new environment safely. Perfect for indoor or outdoor use. Had my kids busy for hours. They hd fun both hiding and seeking. You will need new batteries after a while so pick those button batteries up with you game

My grandchild and I have had hours of fun finding fireflies ever since purchasing this item. I had thought the price was a bit high but after all the laughs and smiles it has become my best decision this summer !!!
