Hard to assemble, 06 Oct 2008
I have sent mine back, somebody bought it for my daughter as a gift but I couldn't actually assemble it, you need muscles like arnie to strecth the bungee cord tight enough. Also it doesn't fold away as easily as implied on the description, one leg was so tight when I went to pack it back in the box I hurt my arm tugging on it, though I guess maybe mine was just faulty. Dissapointing.

They'll jump for joy - but you won't, 06 Sep 2008
First things first: my two and a half year old loves this trampoline. It made him giggle with delight from the first moment he climbed on it. Once constructed, it is durable, a good size and well balanced. 'Folding' is a slight misnomer: the feet do fold, but you actually have to unscrew and remove the handle if you want to put the whole thing away.

But as you watch your child's happy face you will have to try and forget the trauma that was the self-assembly process. I'm not quite sure why the actual trampoline section of this toy has to be self-assembly. It's much like buying a tennis racket and having to string it yourself. And about as much fun.

In essence the task before you will be this: take one bungy cord, and, using brute force, stretch it to double its natural length in order to lace it between the eyelets in the metal base and eyelets in the trampoline mat. But that's not all. The mat will have to remain around 5cm equidistant from the metal frame at all times.

A few things will be working against you in this task. First: the laws of physics - specifically the one about gravity (the whole structure is light and wants to lift off the ground as you yank the bungy cord); and also Newton's third one about motion (the one that says that every stretched bungy cord has an equal and opposite unstretching if you relax your grip for a microsecond).

Secondly, your sense of humour. You will be familiar with the first law of self-assembly: time spent is inversely proportional to fun gained. Whenever you tighten the cord, the mat will naturally pull tight to the metal frame. But yet it must stay several centimetres from it. My, how you'll laugh.

And thirdly the resilience of your skin: the inevitable blistering of your hands as you attempt to wrap those last groaning millimetres of bungy around the final eyelets will be an impediment to the task-completion you will by that time be prepared to sacrifice your life for.

Its at about this point to you will remember how you scoffed at the manufacturer's advice that this toy is best asembled by two people. Two adults to assemble one modestly sized item of garden recreation? Don't be ridiculous. In desperation you will nonetheless summon your hapless partner/spouse to assist. But that, sadly, will serve only to double the frustration and half the viable duration of your marriage.

There is possibly a decent TV programme format in getting the manufacturers of self assembly merchandise to construct their own products in front of a hostile audience. Your small child however will simply watch your misery in bewilderment, and then climb on board and bounce. And as you watch them a tear will come to your eye. The tears of pure, uncomprehending, bewildered misery of a kind only self assembly can induce.


Great indoor play, 16 Apr 2008
I bought this for my four year old son and I must say it was money well spent. He absolutely loves it and is never off it - in fact we had to buy a little timer so that he would occasionally stop playing on it and do something else! It is lucky that we opted for the folding model as we can put it away from time to time to give other toys a chance. Initially I was slightly worried that a folding trampoline might be less sturdy than an ordinary model but those fears have proved to be completely unfounded. It's a solid, well made toy.

The only problem I had was that the elastic bungee cord, after around six months of (admittedly rather intensive) use, frayed and broke. However I was able to replace it by going on Galt's website and ordering a new one at a cost of around £5. The nylon covering which protects the elastic has also frayed, but I think that is normal considering the heavy use my son has made of his trampoline. I would definitely recommend this model for anyone considering buying an indoor trampoline.

Get close to nature with this utterly wonderful experience, 31 Jul 2008
Absolutely superb present for the kids that amazes them and provides daily interest as they watch the tiny caterpillars transform into butterflies over a few weeks.

The kit contains a colourful pop-up enclosure with a feeding pipette and a coded voucher to redeem for a couple of quid for 4 or 5 tiny caterpillars. They can't put live caterpillars in the box of course. The voucher must either be sent by post or the code used on the Insect Lore website. I went for the web option used PayPal and effortlessly received the caterpillars within 2 days. You are sent a small clear plastic jar with half a cm of some kind of fatty substance at the bottom. The caterpillars remain in the jar (it has tiny air holes) eating away at the fatty food and growing at an incredible pace into large, black hairy ones. No additional feeding is necessary whilst in the jar and the lid must remain tight until they form chrysalises and hang from the paper that is on the underside of the sealed lid. Then, the paper from which they all dangle must be carefully removed with them attached and pinned into the enclosure and left undisturbed until they hatch into butterflies. Place in some flowers from the garden and a bit of orange, banana or other fruit, drip some sugar water via the pipette and they'll be very happy indeed. Three days later, release into the outside provided the weather is warm.

The kids were fascinated by the whole process, ran downstairs in the mornings to see the progress and took delight in observing nature so closely. I totally recommend this for any kids say aged 4+. You'll be happy to see the pleasure they get from it and somewhat chuffed as a parent (or relative) to have bought something unusual and educational.

And don't worry if the caterpillars hardly move or even stay completely still for some time - that's normal. They probably need all the rest they can get - as butterflies they will cover over 3,000 miles in the 5 weeks they live!


Butterfly Farm, 18 Apr 2008
Kit contains a netting/plastic freestanding container to put the caterpillars in. The container can be squashed down for storage when not in use. When extended it measures just over 30cm tall and approx 20cm across.

You send off for the carerpillars and food - costs an extra £2. Caterpillars are normally posted in 5 working days but can take up to 4 weeks. You should only order the caterpillars when its warm wnough outside for butterflies to survive. A detailed instruction booklet on how to care for your caterpillars and butterflies is included.

I should think you can reuse the kit with caterpillars that you find in the garden.

Fantastic!!, 08 Aug 2007
My 3 year old daughter loved this and we did too! Her favourite story at the time was The very hungry caterpillar so she knew what to expect. We bought her a proper magnifying glass so she could see the caterpillars as they grew (they are very tiny when they arrive). I was annoyed that I failed to see one single butterfly hatch and missed all 5. I sat and watched one for over 30 mins as I could tell it was imminent but was distracted and by the time I'd looked back I saw that I'd missed it! This is not the fault of the butterfly garden though! If you look around the internet you can buy more caterpillars another year and use the garden again. So it's great value for money and gets 6 stars for educational value.

Fantastic educational 'toy' but very expensive for what it is., 04 Sep 2008
I ordered this ladybird kit for my daughter who is 5, and obsessed by insects. I made the mistake of telling her I had ordered it.....
The kit arrived within 3 days (5 stars Amazon), with a note inside saying you could log on to brainstormltd to order the lavae. So I logged on....only to find that their website isn't up and running yet...so I rang them. Very polite lady answered the phone, and informed me that the ladybird larvae cost £6! (I was expecting there to be a voucher inside so I could just quote a reference number and get the larvae for free, or that if I had to pay, it would only be about £2.50 seeing as I had already shelled out £15 for the net basket to house them in). I duely paid the £6, and was told the ladybirds would arived with the next 2-3 WEEKS!!!!
I knew I would have to order the larvae, but I feel it should be made clear somewhere in the 'description' of the kit, that the larvae take at least 2 weeks to arrive, and that they cost £6.
My daughter has asked me every day if the kit is coming soon, and now I'm going to have to explain that whilst the ladybird 'house' is here, she's going to have to wait a bit longer for the larvae.
Once it's all up and running, I know she will love it, and of course, we'll be able to order ladybird larvae time and time again...I just wish I'd known the REAL costs, and also how long it would take before I could actually use the kit.
