Watch It Grow With Them — From Floor to Wall

Grandma tip: Start them on floor mode first, then work up to walls. My granddaughter figured out the controls in about 10 minutes racing it around the tile, and now she's a wall-climbing pro.

I was skeptical. How could a toy actually climb walls? But it really works! Sticks to our sliding glass door like it's glued on, then zooms across the floor to the next wall. My son now wants to be an engineer.

Three grandkids, one spider, zero fights. They race it on the floor together, then take turns being the 'wall pilot.' The auto-demo mode is genius for when they just want to watch it perform tricks. Best gift I've given in years.

My grandson's face when this thing crawled up the wall — I wish I had recorded it. He screamed 'IT'S MAGIC!' and ran to get his sister. Best money I've ever spent. Worth every penny just for that moment.

Bought this for my 7-year-old's birthday party. Every single kid wanted a turn. They'd race it on the floor, then someone would yell 'DO THE WALL!' and everyone would crowd around. Hit of the party."

I'm a science teacher, and I actually use this to demonstrate vacuum pressure and physics concepts. The kids are way more engaged when there's a creepy spider involved. Educational AND entertaining.

Finally, something that gets my kids away from their iPads. They spend hours driving this thing around — across the kitchen floor, up the glass door, down the hallway. Active play that actually holds their attention.

Perfect for our Minnesota winters when the kids are stuck inside. The floor mode is great for the basement, and wall mode on the sliding door is the main event. The rechargeable battery is a huge plus.

Halloween was LEGENDARY this year. We put this on the window from outside and watched trick-or-treaters freak out. Rest of the year it crawls around the playroom floor. Two toys in one, basically.
