Science and Discovery Toys Provide Wonderful Educational
Experiences for Children
Whether your child wants to be a future geologist, archeologist,
chemist or scientist there are a wide variety of excellent
science and discovery toys for them to have fun and learn with.
There is an endless array of kits, toys, play sets and devices
available to experiment and explore some of which include;
animal kits, archaeology and geology toys, astronomy tools and
play sets, bugs and insects, chemistry and physics sets,
electronic and robotic kits, geography and globes,
habitats,microscopes, telescopes and binoculars.
Most children are enchanted by anything to do with animals.
There are plenty of fun and exciting habitats and play sets to
keep your child entertained for hours. Frog habitats, horse and
stable play sets, plastic dinosaur kits, a variety of sea monkey
habitats from magic castles to mini aquariums, creature keeper
(for catching beetles,butterflies and praying mantis etc.), farm
animal play sets, plastic wildlife animals, hermit crab kits,
reptile habitats, sea life plastic toy sets, plastic reptile
sets, foam t-rex dinosaurs, foam lizards and foam great white
sharks to name only a few.
The archaeology and geology sets and educational toys offer
wonderful educational experiences for children, allowing them to
have fun while enhancing their learning skills. Some of the
great toys and ideas for play are; rock polishing kits, metal
detectors, wooden dinosaur bone building kits available in
different sizes (no glue or hardware needed), volcano making
kits, outdoor adventure equipment kits (available with
flashlight, compass, working camera, binoculars, digital watch
and telescope) and 3D wooden dinosaur puzzles.
For a future aspiring astronomist anything to do with the
planets, stars, galaxies and universe causes excitement. Some of
the great astronomy items that can be found for children
include; telescopes (if this is something your child is very
interested in, be sure to find a quality telescope that will
last and work properly), rockets complete with sound effects and
vibrations), 3D solar systems that glow in the dark, binoculars,
space mission play sets, glow in the dark stars and planet sets,
solar system mobiles and hand held star navigators (electronic
devices used to locate and identify stars and their
constellations).
Bugs and insects are interesting to children and adults alike,
there are some excellent kits and observatories great for
viewing and keeping critters. Something to note with most kits
is the larvae or bugs will only be sent separately once the kit
is purchased). Some of the exciting kits available are butterfly
gardens (complete with supplies for feeding and observation
chamber and informative booklet), ant farms, lady bug gardens,
butterfly flowers seeds and net sets, silkworm sets, plastic bug
play sets, creature viewer (magnifying scope) and special bug
jars. The butterfly kit allows a child to see the complete
metamorphosis from larvae to butterfly, both an exciting and
wonderful learning experience.
Aspiring chemists and physicists will love the great snap
circuit kits which allow your child to build an array of
exciting projects from radios to light bulb testing set ups.
Other great chemistry and physics kits available include;
science kits (color mixing, making soft crystals, or rainbows in
test tube), water wizardry kits (allowing children to make snow,
gels and rainbows in test tube all with the addition of water),
and wonderful chemistry sets complete with microscope,
accessories, material and equipment allowing first time
scientists to conduct simple and fun chemistry experiments.
The electronics and robotics choices for children come in
several exciting devices and kits. Metal detectors are one
device that offers children a sort of
