Catch ‘n’ View Butterfly Net and Tent by Learning Resources

Butterfly Net and Tent by Learning ResourcesToday I would like to introduce you to the company called Learning Resources who makes a wide variety of educational toys and games for children. When you visit the Learning Resources web site…you can shop as a Parent or as a Teacher. Furthermore, you can shop by age group, category, by brand or by subject. I love how user-friendly the Learning Resources site is!

You will find activity sets & books, construction sets, active learning & play sets, discovery & exploration sets, electronic toys, games, puzzles, water & sand toys and a whole lot more! Everything on their site is extremely well-made and affordable.

My Review: Today I am reviewing for all of you the Catch ‘n’ View 2-in-1 Butterfly Net and Tent by the great folks over at Learning Resources.  This product is used to catch bugs and butterflies and then your little one can view them in the observation tent and then release them…how cool is that? Totally cool! It is made for children ages 3 and up and retails for $14.99.

Kid's Butterfly Net and Tent for Outdoor Exploration

Features: It has a telescoping handle that folds up for easy storage or for taking it on-the-go…perfect for family outings to the park! The handle folds up quickly & easily to turn the net into an observation tent. The “easy-on” lid keeps butterflies in place and makes the release a snap. The net measures 10 1/4″ in diameter and the handle measures 9″ to 17″ in length which makes it the perfect size for preschoolers. At the top is a little leaf-shaped hook and you can easily hang it up to store it.

As you all know…I have a 2 1/2 year old grand-wee-one (she will be 3 soon) who loves to be outdoors and absolutely loves animals so I was super excited to review this product for all of you…it is just perfect for her! The butterfly catching net is made from hard durable plastic but yet it is very light-weight! The netting is a really fine mesh so your child can really go out bug hunting and nothing will get through the net once caught…our wee one loves to go out and catch lightening bugs during the spring & summer months so I am sure she will be using her net for that once spring arrives! I love that the packaging has fully printed & in color instructions to show you how to convert it from a bug catching net to a bug observation tent. We played around with this and trust me…it is super easy to do!

I know we will have hours upon hours of fun using this net with our grand-wee-one! We love it and we highly recommend that you go out and purchase it now so you are ready for bug-catching season once it arrives!

You can purchase the Learning Resources Catch ‘n View directly from Amazon for a great price! We love using this net to catch butterflies, moths, ladybugs, fireflies, etc. and we’ve never hurt them! We catch, observe for a few minutes and let them go again.

Tritective 3-Letter Mystery Word Game by Educational Insights

Today I would like to introduce you to the company called Educational Insights based out of Southern California. 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 & parents who know that children love to learn when you make that learning experience fun!

When you visit the Educational Insights online web site you will find that it’s really easy to navigate. The web site has three tabbed categories which are the sections for Parents, Teachers and Classroom Jeopardy. Since I am a mother and grandmother…I could spend hours just browsing around their parent’s section of the web site.

My Review: Today I am reviewing the new Tritective 3-Letter Mystery Word Game from Educational Insights for all of you. My family loves games and we have a family game night almost every week so we were excited to try out this game once it arrived.

This game is for ages 10+ and for 2-4 players. This mystery word game includes 100 spy cards featuring 3 words on each card and comes nicely packaged in a reusable metal tin.

Tritective 3-Letter Mystery Word Game

How to Play: Each person takes a turn being the “spy” and choosing a spy word from any card in the deck. The Detectives play their cards one at a time. The “spy” tells them the number of letters their words have in common with the “spy word”. Using their super sleuth powers of deduction, detectives narrow down the letters in common with the “spy word” with every card played. The first player to guess the 3-letter mystery word wins the round!

I invited my 2 nephews over one evening so they could try out this game with me and my husband. They are ages 10 and 13 years of age. We sat down to play this and let me tell you…the boys loved it! This game is great for the 10-13 age group and it kept them totally entertained. I love educational games like this that are fun (not all educational games are fun) but this one definitely is! It was even fun for us adults to play along with them. We had a great time playing it and it only took us about 40 minutes to play. It would be a great game for at home or for when traveling since it is very compact & portable. We loved it!

You can purchase the Educational Insights Tri-Tective – The 3-Letter Mystery Word Game directly from Amazon for a super low price! Great game for the entire family to play!
