You know, I really like the Learning Resources line of toys - they're so simple and yet encourage your child's imagination. Recently, I tried out the Pretend and Play Explorer Set which I found very interesting indeed.
I think that exploring the fascinating world of nature is a real adventure for kids. The Pretend and Play explorer set contains all necessities that will spark your child’s imagination. Young explorers can do all sorts of things in their own backyards like examine bugs and plants up close, catch butterflies and even dig up a patch of soil to plant seeds. There are 17 pieces which promise to make this set fun like an observation box with magnifier, bug viewer with tweezers, butterfly net, planting pot, shovels, rakes and so on. Priced at $36.95, the Pretend and Play Explorer set from Learning Resources is made out of durable plastic components and comes with a storage case. Ideal for kids between the ages of 3-6, this kit is a good buy if your little ones like to explore the big outdoors.
