Spring Into Sciene

Spring is finally here, and with it comes the opportunity to delve into all the fabulous offerings of playing outdoors. Swing into A Child's Garden today to see some of the toys we have that can help enhance your outdoor learning fun!

Despite the rainy days we've been having, there have been a bunch of sun filled ones, and what better way to take advantage of them then with Solar Print Paper from ToySmith.

This paper undergoes a chemical change when exposed to sunlight and you can have hours of fun using different objects like leaves, flowers, rocks, etc... to see what sort of prints you can make!

Optic Wonder Glasses, also by ToySmith, are pocket-sized instruments with a range of functions.
Use them as binoculars, a magnifying glass, a compass and more. Take them on a hike or nature walk and be prepared for almost anything!

For those who like to get down and dirty, check out our root viewer from ToySmith. Using clear glass tubes, you plant the provided carrot, beet and onion seeds and watch as they grow.
You and your kids can learn about root systems and vegetation as you're able to see just what happens underneath the dirt.

If your little ones happen to enjoy frogs and bugs and want to learn more about how they grow, check out Beleduc's 5 layer wooden puzzles. Watch as frogs go from egg to full size or as butterflies start out in a cocoon until they emerge with full wings intact.


All of these toys provide great stepping stones for getting the most out of outdoor play time Stop in soon to check them out as well as our full array of outdoor geared toys!
