Our Thoughts: I knew when this set arrived that it would be a big hit with my grand daughter and god son who are ages 4 1/2 and 6 1/2 years old. Even though this set is for kids ages 8 and up…it can certainly be used with the younger children with an adult’s supervision and help.

We love the purple, white and green colored binoculars which are perfectly sized for little one’s hands. We spent about 10 minutes showing both of the kids how to operate the new binoculars and after that…they were going all through our back yard studying things.

They looked closely at two ladybugs that they found, a monarch butterfly that sat completely still for them for several minutes on one of my flower bushes, studied a worm (that grossed me out) and finally they spotted a cardinal up in the tree & studied that.

Once we were done…we wrote in the activity journal what we saw and the kids reactions to it. Since receiving this set…we have used it several times & they love it! They like to go out into the backyard and go on a hunt for things to see which I am pretty happy about that as I would rather them do activities like this than sit in front of a TV all day long! A huge 2-thumbs up from me!

You can purchase the Educational Insights Nancy B’s Science Club Binoculars & Wildlife Activity Journal from Amazon for a really great price. This item makes a great educational gift for any child on your gift-giving list. Think Christmas and Birthday gifts!

Educational Insights is the manufacturer of playful products with serious educational value, including subject-specific classroom products, teacher resources, educational toys, and games. Their products are designed by seasoned educators and parents who know that children love to learn when you make that learning experience fun!

For our review we were sent the cute, fun & loveable  The Sea Squad” Puppet-on-a-Stick set to review for all of you. This fun play set is made for ages 3 and up and comes packaged in a cute storage box. It’s great for pretend play, puppet shows and self-expression.

Meet The Sea Squad: Flipper the anglerfish, Dipper the octopus, Chomper the shark, and Bob the clam.

There are two ways to make their mouths move: (1) You can use the lever on the stick or (2) you can pull down on the ball at the bottom of the stick.

Our Thoughts: Princess is just now enjoying this type of creative play and we had a blast playing with these fun sea-themed puppets-on-a-stick! We set up our own little puppet theater using an empty cardboard box and she played with these puppets for hours! Later that night…two of them found their way into our bath tub for more playtime fun!

The puppets are extremely well-made and over-sized…which makes them perfect for preschoolers and school-aged children to play with. Their mouths are really easy to open/close and the Princess prefers moving their mouths by using the lever but my god son prefers using the ball at the bottom of the stick. Glad that there are 2 different options with that.

They are brightly colored which makes them very appealing to young children and out of the 4 puppets included in the set…the Dipper and the Bob were Princess Gia’s favorites! Not sure why…but those two are the top of her list! A great set that provides hours upon hours of creative playtime fun!
