 Worm Farm Aug 28, 2004
By S. Beck
This worm farm was interesting put together, but be warned it is extremely flimsy. It is made from styroam and plastic and is not very portable. The mail-in certificate for worms as advertised is misleading - you have to pay additional money to get a kit. It is cheaper to go to a bait store and buy nightcrawlers to put in the container. This lasted about a month at my house and I ended up tossing it in the garbage. Very cheaply made and not worth what you pay for it. You could make your own.

 Worms Extra??? Apr 21, 2003
By Linda
I purchased this item for my 5-year old nephew. I recently learned that his mother had to send [additional money] to the company in order to receive the worms and the dirt!! Very disappointing. Nothing like getting a birthday present and then being forced to pay for it! What could my sister-in-law say to her teary-eyed 5-year old who wanted his worms? I intend to write to the manufacuturer and share my story with them. Moral: Send a check when you send this gift to anyone!

 WormVue Wonders Jul 12, 2003
By H. Miller

I purchased this for my 5yr. old grandson for Christmas last year and he was thrilled with it. By the end of the day he could label all parts of a worm and was studying the included booklet with great interest.The worms were ordered and arrived alive and well. After 5 months, however, none of the worms had yet become visible. Thinking they were dead, his mother convinced him to empty the container. There were the worms, in perfect health! He released them to the backyard garden and goes to visit them daily. I was very disappointed with this purchase.

 Kid's love worms Oct 15, 2002
We are having a blast with our Worm Vue Wonders. I was a bit worried at first that the worms would escape but they are securely held in the unit. It's well designed so that you can always see worms when you pull up a black shield that keeps out the light. We received our worms within two weeks like it said on the box. It comes with a booklet that has information and experiments. There is also a poster of worm anatomy and facts, plus seeds and a container for growing tomatoes with the composted soil. Really you get a lot in this kit. Our kids are really into experiments and such so this kind of thing is great for them.

 Worms not visible! Jun 13, 2005
By Working Mom

The children's area of our museum has this toy. They keep healthy worms in it at all times (I asked). However, we have yet to see a single worm and we check every time we go (we've been doing this for over 2 years). The worms never bore near the sides.
The toy is also cheaply made, the area in the picture you see that looks like rock is styrofoam. It isn't very big. And the sides scratch easily. The dark covers on either side are cheap cardboard and don't last long either. Our museum attendants have had to replace them with thick black cardboard pieces. Even with the thicker, darker covers against the plastic sides, the worms won't dig near the sides.
This toy is a good concept, but poorly done and a total waste of money.
