Playskool Glo Friends Strong All Along! -- Storytime With Bumblebug -- Book With Glowing Toy -- Social Emotional Learning SEL Toy -- Ages 2+ Review

This Glo Friends Bumblebug is not as great as I'd hope. The bug isn't that easy to light up for tiny hands, you have to give it a very hard squeeze. I got this for my grandbaby, who is 14 months, and he won't be able to get the bug to light for sure. What I do like about it, one squeeze and Bumblebug lights up bright, two squeezes and the light dims, perfect for night time. The third squeeze turns the light off. The book pages are a little thicker than a normal story book, but not baby…

This toy made me smile because it brought me back to my own childhood and the original Glow Worm! I owned one and loved it. This little guy is like a condensed, mini version of that.The box includes one Bumblebug that glows and one "Strong All Along" story book. Such a cute little set and one that is sure to appeal to little ones.Before I even removed the toy from the box, I was a little concerned. Bumblebug is a little hard to turn on. You have to squeeze him pretty hard. He is made of a…

I thought this would be fun for my two year old and I was right! Wigglebug is perfect for small hands and safe for them to play with. The story that goes with Wigglebug is short and can keep a two year olds attention. My two year old loved the Wigglehop dance and we used Wigglebug to show her what to do. I loved the SEL component for this book because it gave a tip on what to do when you get over-excited. With tantrums a real thing with toddlers, this will give her a tool to use when feeling…

This is adorable and my kid (2yo) likes it a lot. The book is cute though right now she doesn't pay much attention to it. She just wants to walk around with her Bumblebug. The problem is it's hard even for me to squeeze and light up -- there is no way she can do it -- so every time it turns off a few mins later I have to be the one lighting it up again.

Let me start by saying I think this is a great idea and the artwork in the book is very well done! The little glow toy came with a working battery and my son loved to turn it on and off by squeezing his stomach. On the book side of things I see what they were trying to do with the message but I believe it’s not a very clear delivery in my opinion. My son just ended up enjoying the glow bug that came with the book.

The glowing wigglebug is nice and the story it comes with is a good story. It is just a little too pricey for what you get. The wiggle bug dose light up and glow but that is it. For a book and one toy, I would expect to pay a little less. Other than that, the packaging is nice. The toy looks good as well as the illustrations. Price just a little too high for what you get.

I ordered this book "Stink or Swim” for my 6 year old daughter as I thought this would be a great book to learn how to read, and it is! The book is so cute and fun and full of adventures! The little Bookworm toy that comes with it is adorable! When you squeeze him, he lights up (batteries already included too)! This is such a wonderful idea to make reading fun!

The glowing friend is definitely what sells this set. The story is okay, but it seems to lack a bit for me. The pictures are cute and there are a couple good messages in it at least. The book is not very durable. It has a thin binding that I don't think is going to last long around little kids. This is the type of book that we usually have pages falling out of pretty quickly. However, it is really nice that it is accompanied with a friend from the story that you can hold and play with. The…

We ordered the Wigglebug (Orange) and Bookworm (Green). The Wigglebug is superior in every way. The glow feature is very easily activated and the paint quality is excellent. Our kids actually fought over the orange bug. We might have to get another. The Bookworm (Green) we received has a big flaw in the paint on its face. Additionally, the light up feature on the Bookworm (Green) takes a fair amount of pressure to activate because the tummy is deep and squishy. Our 2.5 year old twins cannot…

This is pretty much the cutest set in the universe! Want to see your kids go crazy . show them this little guy . then, light him up! Wow . do kids love this? Yes, they absolutely do! We have him in rotation right now because he has created a bit of jealousy among the kids and that probably means that we will be buying more in this wholesome collection! (Honestly, I can't say I mind one bit!)The little Bumblebug is wildly endearing with his big eyes and humble smile. And he's a strong, brave…

I know our Grandson will love this book! Our 14 month old Grandson loves books as we have been reading to him since birth. Blueberries are his favorite breakfast treat and this little wigglebum loves them as well. The book is small size with bright colorful pages, sure to catch his attention, also thick enough has he loves to turn the pages when we read! The light up little friend is a perfect companion while reading the book. A quick squeeze can turn him on or off The book include other friend

Let me start by saying…I have an almost 3 year old who does NOT like books. I’ve tried every type of book and he just is not very interested in them. I saw this and figured it was one I didn’t try yet so might as well give it a shot. HE LOVES IT! He loves the glowing "firefly” (he calls it a firefly lol) and cracks up at when the skunk "farts” haha! So so happy I ordered this and hopefully this is the start of him becoming more interested in books! Definitely recommend and definitely will be…

I have a toddler who sp struggles to sit still during story time. I bought this so I can use the toy in correlation with the book. Anytime I read this book or any other book I gave him to toy and allow him to play along and follow along with his toy and correlation to the story. It seems to help him sit throughout the story time and also helps the parent to be able to get through the story time without the constant stops

This comes with the green gloworm and a gloworm book.The gloworm fits in my hand, maybe 3.5"-4" tall or so. It is hard to press to turn the light on. My 3 year old struggles with this and gets very frustrated that they can't turn it on themselves. My 7 year old struggles but can light it up independently.My 3 and 7 year old aren't very interested in the book, they're more so interested in just the gloworm and who gets to hold it.It stays lit up for about 5 minutes and is made of semi-hard…

I wish I had this when I was a kid. This story is cute. Bookworm is afraid of swimming but learns to blow bubbles in the water. They also help out a skunk. Bookworm gets to drop some knowledge on the other creatures about what he’s read about skunks. (See my photos if you want to read the story.)The glow worm takes one AAA battery, included. It has an auto shut off and turns off after about five minutes. Press his belly once for on, again for fading in and out, and a third time for off. Great…

Got this for my granddaughter and she the toy and the story too. She wants to hear the story again and again. It takes a little effort to squeeze the glo bug to get it to light up, so depending on how young your child is you may need to squeeze it for them so they see it light up. Playskool has been making these since I was a child and it’s nice to see a whole new generation enjoying them all over again.

It is a tradition of mine to buy an original gloworm for every new baby in the family. We have a grandbaby coming towards the end of the year, so I've been on the search. I found this, and while it's not the original gloworm, it was just too cute to pass up. It is even more cute in person! Baby probably won't be able to play with it for a couple years, but it will look cute on a shelf in the nursery, and Grandma has already been playing with it! The little book that comes with it is too cute…

Our son was sick and this was absolutely the perfect mini gift to perk up his spirits. The little book, while it has paper pages which could be ripped, was a simple and fun story and outlined a little dance routine we could practice together which made it lots of fun. I know we will be doing this on repeat! The glow worm toy is fairly simple, squeeze and he lights up with a warm yellow glow which stays on for a few minutes. But for a sick kid it was a fun buddy to pull under the blankets for…

I ordered this set in "Bookworm" which comes with a small light up Bookworm character and a hardcover book called Stink or Swim. I don't know what it is about this set, but my four-year-old son just loves it. He loves it so much! He has slept with the Bookworm character every night for a month now. It is easy for him to turn on and off on his own - squeeze one time to turn on bright, one more time for lower light, and one more time to turn off. It also turns off automatically after a period of…

My little niece LOVED this product! The only thing is she's got to squeeze the toy pretty hard to light up and she just can't always get it to light up. But other than that it's a good product.
