Yeah, we know it sounds like a great premise for a science fiction B movie from the 1950s, but mechanical bugs are taking over the country.

With the Blinky Bugs kit from Ken Murphy, you and your child can create Rudolph the Red-Nosed Arachnid this holiday season.

Follow comic book-style instructions to build an electric insect that will teach your child the basic principles of both electricity and bug anatomy. This is a great gift for you and your young scientists.

Create light up insects and teach your kids about electricity with Blinky Bugs.
