Which one do you actually get?** A: I got the textured looking ones. Some of these insects are different than the ones I got. I will say that my grandchildren have loved them! They sort by color, they count, they make patterns, etc. Hope this helps **Q: What do you use for a pattern guide for these?** A: There is a free pattern on Pinterest for a mason jar. After printing that out, I cut it down to size and laminated it. Then I hide a bunch of the bugs and my daughter finds/catches it and puts it "in" the mason jar. She sorts by color or by bug type or we count. I also do sensory play bins with her with these (mixing it among various stuff). These bugs are well made and look realistic (other than the color). I definitely plan on getting these again when I run out. **Q: Are these plastic or rubber? The description says rubber but they look plastic. Thanks!** A: Rubber, no smell, and very durable. These have experienced over a year of play and they still look new. Plus, minus the caterpillar, they fit in bug tongs perfectly :) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by C***N on March 1, 2009* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by L***E on March 14, 2026* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by N***E on August 19, 2024* ## Frequently Bought Together - Learning Resources Backyard Bugs Counters - 72 Pieces, Ages 3+ Counting and Sorting Toys for Toddlers, Preschool Learning Toys - MEROCO Montessori Animal Match - Insect Animal Figurines with Matching Cards Language Montessori Materials Preschool Learning Toy NEWT008 - ABC Bug Book for Kids --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/2289862-learning-resources-backyard-bugs-counters-72-pieces-ages-3-counting](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/2289862-learning-resources-backyard-bugs-counters-72-pieces-ages-3-counting) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
