Best Science and Nature exploration toys

Best Science and Nature exploration toysFrom the sweet-smelling flowers in spring to the songs of the birds in summer, there is a lot to explore throughout the warmer seasons. Enhance kids’ sensory experience with GeoSafari Jr. Kidnoculars Extreme, from Educational Insights.

With colors like the green of the grass and the blue of the sky, there is so much for kids to experience in nature, and the Kidnoculars are made from heavy duty plastic to handle the rough-and-tumble fun exploring inspires. The extra-large eyepieces and breakaway strap make using the Kidnoculars comfortable for most kiddos.

Designed for adventurers ages 5 and up, what makes these extreme is that you can get an up-close look at all nature has to offer AND hear what’s going on, too! Amplify sight and sound using two AAA batteries to turn on the built-in audio amplification and three times the visual magnification.

The earpieces are what deliver the sound, and the sides have a slight spring, which enables the Kidnoculars to adapt to most head sizes. (This reviewer found they fit on her adult sized head!) However, it is important to note the earpieces are not supportive. Users will still need to hold up the Kidnoculars with their hands as they explore.

On the front of the Kidnoculars is a microphone, with a cover. This captures the sounds of nature, but minimizes wind noise. Adults and kids alike will appreciate the on and off function, plus volume control.

Support STEM learning and encourage a lifelong love of science and nature with these GeoSafari Jr. Kidnoculars Extreme.
