Editor's Notes
March 19, 2020:
An easy way to teach your child about nature and its creatures is by letting them get up close and personal with insects. Selecting the best insect catching kit for your child to enjoy is easier than you might think. There are obviously lots of options available, and many are all-inclusive sets that come with all sorts of accessories to make trapping bugs fun for your little one. Take the Essenson Outdoor Explorer Kit, for example; it has everything from binoculars and tweezers to a butterfly net and multiple insect containers. The Gosu Toys Insect Set does not have all of the accessories, but it does have a scooper and a mesh-enclosed cage where your child can look at insects without fear.
The Carson BugView Quick Release is a good option for older kids because it is a handheld collector that is thumb-operated. It collects the bugs right there into a viewing container that has a magnifier for close examination. The Nature Bound Vacuum is a delightful model because your child will have fun gently sucking the bugs into the vacuum and transferring them into the lighted habitat. There is such a wide variety of these kits to choose from, the best way to start is to consider your child's age because you want one that he can use with ease to avoid frustration. Then, you just have to decide if you want to keep it simple, like the B. Toys Bungalow, or if you want to go all out with something like the AMDVibes Outdoors.
