Hands on Fun
Reviewed By: Heather Balazs 
We have been using this Backpack Kit for exploring in our own backyard, studying and observing insects and birds. All of the products in this kit work very well together. The Backpack is durable but very lite weight, perfect for a child to wear and use outdoors. All the products fit easily into the backpack with a lot of room to spare. The Compact Binoculars are just the right size for a child and easily adjust to fit an adult. We have used these binoculars on a daily basis for backyard bird watching. The Insect Net is a nice quality and a good sized net. We have caught large butterflies, dragonflies, beetles, moths, and other insects easily with this net. The Magnifier Jar worked as expected for a more close up view of our specimens. The Plastic Forceps are heavy and durable. My child really enjoyed the One Small Square Backyard book. We used this book to make an insect/wildlife checklist to see how many of the bugs, critters, and plants shown in the book we could find in our own backyard. The book has a lot of great information on the wildlife that is co-existinting in your own yard along with information on their lifecycles, habitats, and plants. The illustrations are beautifully colored and easily used to identify some of the more common backyard bugs/wildlife. We have been using the Nature Notebook and colored pencils to draw the bugs that we have caught and for drawing pictures of the birds at our feeders. Specimen Collection Bags are nice to have for more delicate things that you find, like leaves, flowers, and feathers. Over all this has been a great product for our family and homeschool nature studies. I would recommend this product to others.
