A simple, fully-illustrated introduction to backyard nature comes packaged with a sturdy magnifying glass, a portable nature ID chart, and an activity poster.

Armed with a magnifying glass and an innate sense of curiosity, any child can be a nature detective! PBS Kids Look and Learn Nature Detective is packed with pictures and simple information to encourage kids to go outside and explore--taking a fascinating look at leaves, nuts, seeds, bark, pine cones, mushrooms, animal tracks, and more. The kit encourages children not only to notice interesting items around them, but to inspect them up close--to touch and feel for texture, to notice the amazing sounds, smells, and sights on any nature walk.

This family-pleasing it builds many skills in children ages 4 and up:

It encourages observation and exploration

Sorting by size, shape, and color

Identifying common properties (and spotting differences)

and much more!
