So much for inspiring kids to grow up becoming managers of salty, high fat, carb ridden fast food chains. Let’s inspire them to become engineers with the ability to bend biological matter (i.e. paperboard cutouts) to THEIR WILL.
Chick-fil-a is featuring ’3-D Insect Models’ as toys in the Kid’s Meal. Cool – introducing small, hungry brains to 3-dimensional processes for create creatures they torment the neighbor kids with. How fun is that. Pics after the break.
The package reads 4+, but you may have to tag on a degree in advanced biology to get it together. A couple momblogs didn’t think to highly of the instructions that may as well have been anatomical charts on arthropod gene splicing techniques. They’re actually not that bad, but yeah, a 4 yr old is gonna need some help – choke it up to improving your parenting skills.
I’m sure if you head to you local Chick-fil-a you could pick up a few bags for stocking stuffers. 5 versions to keep the 3D model building madness going for hours.

52 comments by the mothers mostly involved in the putting together of these really cute 3D bug models do not speak to favoritely of these kits. Let us not make our wives and mothers mad and descretion is definitely the better part of valor. But I do think that they are cute looking buggies.
those instructions are definitely not the easiest to understand. crazy. the “instruction engineers” need some help
Yes, sir you are correct. At least I will agree to that even when I have not seen them. I just know in my heart that our sweethearts can do most anything and it they have a hard time of it what chance do our children have by themselves. Rethinking of this item might be better served if they want to spread it around. Also, I wouldn't want to embarrass myself with a failed attempt so I will stay away from that particular fast food place. Bad eyes would not help in this situation. Take care Josh. I'm rooting for our ladies who are so great at doing so many things. Bye.
The dragon fly was IMPOSSIBLE but I did just sucecssfully engineer a honeybee. I feel so accomplished
we still have a few in the packages.
im a mother of 2 young boys ( age 3 &1). personally i loved these 3d buggies. unfortunatly i didnt get them all on time and now im suffing the web to find the rest that i need. my boys loved how real they looked and we even hung them up in there room to add a litle bit of a outside touch to their room. if you know where i can purchase the rest i would really appriciate it. thanks!

I woud like to buy another 3-d insects
I would too, except I think those freakin' cows took them all and are using them to torture chickens. Just a rumor though… a rumor from cows… I'd be suspect.
I'm another mom who loved these, and would buy a book of them one existed.
Just found out about these today and would LOVE to get them for my science classroom. Any idea where and how I could get them?
I really love them, and I think- from all the fast food chain kids menu- they are the kind of toys that educate our kids and are worth to keep them. By the way, I am missing the butterfly and the bee.
Does somebody know where I can buy them?
