Attention World Travelers!

Are you raising a little Magellan or Columbus? Does your child talk about traveling the world? Perhaps someday they will, but for now, a globe is a great start!

A Raised Globe can help your young explorer map out their future voyages! To help them better understand where the countries and oceans are, make a game out of it! Spin the globe and have them stop it with their finger; once they do that, have them guess where it is! Kids can have a great time learning about our planet, so when they are ready to travel, they already know where they’re going!

It's a Scientific World!

Science can, and should be fun! The act of exploration and discovering new things is enough to excite any scientist, no matter what age. There is so much out there to learn about; it’s best to start now!

One of the most fun and educational ways to learn about and discover new things is playing with a Microscope! Everything looks different when it’s magnified to 300x, 600x, or even 1200x. Your children will have a blast looking at different household objects through their Microscope. You can even make a game out of it! Put items underneath the Microscope and see if they can guess what they are.

If you run out of things to examine at home, consider the Microscope and Slides Set. It includes slides that are pre-made, as well as blank slides for kids to create their own! Your kids will be building a laboratory in no time!

It's Garden Season!

Who doesn't love garden season? The sun is shining, and the birds are chirping, and we all get to go to our own outdoor sanctuary to harvest and grow our own fruits, veggies, and herbs. This year, perhaps you should consider getting your children involved with you!

The benefits of youth gardening are vast. It teaches kids the importance of taking care of the environment; it promotes healthy eating (we all know how hard it is to get our kids to eat their vegetables…that is until they grow their own); it is incredibly educational; and of course, you get to spend quality time with your children! And let’s face it…your kids are probably going to play in the dirt anyways…they might as well do something productive while they’re at it!

It can be good for the kids to share mom and dad’s garden, but they will enjoy one of their own much more. The Culinary Herb Garden comes with everything your kid needs to start their very first REAL garden, and they get to work on it right next to yours! With your help and the Culinary HerbGarden, they will be growing cilantro, parsley, and other herbs in no time.

Time For An Exciting Scavenger Hunt!

Do you live with a little explorer? Is your little boy or girl constantly going on little “treasure hunts”? Why not make a game out of it! Here is a fun idea for a two-part “distance” scavenger hunt to do with our Big Tape Measure that can be exciting AND educational!

First, hide little “prizes” or “awards” around your house and yard. After your child finds the items, they have to use their Big Tape Measure to record how long it is.

Second, have your kid use their tape measure to go find items that are a certain length that you specify. After they successfully do all that, have one grand prize they get for completing the hunt!

It can sometimes be difficult to help your kids learn, but in the right scenarios and with the right tools, learning can be easy and fun!
