This sustainably made magnifying glass, and two-tone whistle is perfect for intrepid young explorers to investigate nature up close. Get up close and personal with nature with the 4x magnifying glass. Don’t forget to record what you find!

Features:

MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE: Not only does the set allow children to take a fascinating look at nature, it’s also a great way to get them to enjoy fresh air and the outdoors.

FOUR TIMES CLOSER: Your little nature detectives will be able to get a 4x close-up look at anything from leaves to bugs. What a way to learn about the world!

TWO-TONE TUNE: Found something interesting? Alert friends with the two-tone whistle without scaring wildlife away.

SUSTAINABLY MADE: The toys are made from sustainable bamboo and Green PE (the plant plastic derived from sugarcane). After all, we want to leave loads of nature for future generations to explore.

GET CARRIED AWAY: Both these sustainable toys have handy wrist straps so they’re easy to carry or strap to a backpack when going for walks or camping.

Encourage children to look for differences on small insects and leaves and plants by using the magnifying glass to spot finer details. Place two different plants side by side and help them write a list of what the plants have in common and what makes them different. Ages 3yrs+.
