Article Summary
April 17, 2006 The greatest gift you can give a child (other than unconditional love) is a good education. So we think the new all-in-one nature backpacks from Home Science Tools are a winning concept. The go-anywhere backpacks get children out into nature where they can become an insect-collecting entomologist, a rock hound, a bird watcher, a botanist, or just a nature observer. The series of six different kits range in price from US$60 to $90 and provide everything children need to explore and learn about the world around them, including quality, hands-on tools; field guides; and instructions for getting the most out of the kits. The (pictured) first-of-its-kind Young Naturalist's Kit facilitates catching and observing insects, identifying and pressing flowers, watching the habits of birds and small animals, and making a record of everything they see. The kit contains a sturdy backpack, three field guides (birds, insects and wildflowers), the Watching Nature book, a deluxe insect net, a pop-up insect habitat, compact binoculars, a magnifying glass, a plant press, collection bags, ruler, nature notebook, and instructions.
