Bug Zoo Jar

Bug Zoo Jar is a must-have toy that will get kids excited about bugs again! This awesome jar is designed to be similar to the best bug jars ever made, but with a modern twist. Kids today would rather play video games or check out their friends on Facetube than explore the fascinating world of insects. It's time to bring back the joy of bug-watching and learning! The original design was clear, but since that's not possible to print, I added plenty of holes so you can see your bugs up close. This five-piece jar is designed to be easy to take apart and reassemble, making it perfect for kids to learn about the life cycle of insects. I printed all the parts using PLA, and they work great together! However, I'm considering printing the cover and base with ABS or a flexible filament to make them more durable. My plan is to let my kids use it for a while and see how well it holds up to their daily adventures. To ensure stability, I printed the stick on a raft, so you won't need any supports for any of the parts. This Bug Zoo Jar is an amazing way to get your kids interested in bugs and learning about science in a fun and interactive way!
