Wooden Magnifying Glass For Kids

A wooden explorer kit — six-compartment specimen box with a rope handle, plus binoculars, magnifier, tweezers, whistle, a texture die and illustrated mission and botanical cards. Real tools, small hands. Ages 3+.

A real chafer beetle in hand-polished resin, wing cases still green and shifting in the light. 73 x 41 x 20 mm — the smallest of the insect studies.

Eleven things in one block — egg, larva, pupa; queen, worker, drone; comb in two forms, a queen cell, beeswax and honey. Real specimens set by hand, like an old teaching cabinet. 5.5 in wide, the largest of the studies.

A china aster pressed full-faced in resin, petal over petal. About 3 in square.

A real swallowtail, wings open in clear resin, the scales still holding their cream and dark banding. 3 in square, an inch deep. No two wing patterns match.
