Backyard Safari Outfitters

Summer is about fun in the sun, exploring, and being outdoors. And Backyard Safari Outfitters has all the equipment your child needs for scoping out local "wildlife," from insects in the grass to birds in the sky to frogs in a pond and more! The collection include over 30 different essentials! The different component of the Backyard Safari Outfitters collection make it a great nature play experience for kids to enjoy on their own or to share with friends and family.

We received the Cargo Vest, Bug Vacuum and the Mega View Periscope. By far my boy's favorite is the bug vacuum. It has several bug container attachments and each has a magnifying glass for optimum study.  I was impressed with the easy catch and release mechanism on the side so kids can observe and the insects and let them go.  We have enjoyed several evenings of catching lightening bugs so far. I love seeing the excitement in their faces when they have caught one.

The Mega View Periscope was also a big hit as well. They enjoyed checking out the birds at the bird feeders without disturbing them and peaking over the couch with it was major fun too! It has a locking clip on the side so it can stay in position until observing is a must.

 To heighten the outdoor adventure and peak kids' interest in science, each Backyard Safari Outfitters kit includes a detailed Pop-Up Field Guide small enough to fit neatly into any pocket. This handy guide is full of rich illustration and information for ever subject related to outdoor and nature exploration such as Field communication Solar System, Butterflies, Fossils, and Beetles.

I love toys that encourage children to get active, play outdoors and explore. It keeps us moms sane and our kids learn about the world around them, which to me is the best kind of learning.
