Discovering Science & Nature~This section has educational, scientific and nature based toys for children to discover the world around them. Children can have fun and learn about science & nature through play.~~~1254~1492~~
Nature Kits~Produced in this country by Flights of Fancy, using as many natural materials as possible, these kits are designed to educate, inform and entertain.~~~1254~6844~~
About Bugs Kit~Just like trees, insects are essential and deserve greater understanding. The 24 identification cards display over 100 insects in full colour (throughout their various life stages). To help with observation, there is a cloth catching net and collection jar, plus a notebook and pencil for field notes. Full instructions all included in an attractive tube. 5+~~About Bugs Kit|5503|~1254~6847~~
About Wild Flowers~How often have you wondered about the names of wild flowers ? This kit will not only enable you to learn them, with the 24 identification cards (held together on a ring), but you can grow your own from the seeds included, then press them in the mini flower-press. The kit also includes tweezers, a notepad & pencil and lots of information on identification and parts of a flower. 15cm x 8cm, 7+~~About Wild Flowers|5506|~1254~7131~~
Animal Tracks tube~This pocket sized (15cm x 4cm), card tube is a wonderful way to get started in the identification of animal tracks. With enough information to identify the majority of commoner European (and North American) animals and a bag of plaster to make a cast (with easy to follow instructions). 6+~~Animal Tracks tube|5507|~1254~7132~~
Electronics Kits~We have a variety of electronics kits all based on snap together components. Covering Keystage 1 upwards they give great play value and make learning fun.~~~1254~2072~~
Cambridge Brainbox kits~The Cambridge Brainbox kits are designed in the UK and cover a wide spectrum of ages and experiments. The 3 kits can all be used together and are very popular in schools as they cover the National Curriculum requirements.

Each kit includes a manual showing all the circuits that can be built with the kit. The parts are colour coded and numbered and are housed in a specially designed box having separate compartments for each of the major components. All the parts are designed for quick and easy assembly, all components being connected together with press-studs on a baseboard. This system of construction puts the emphasis on the design and working of the circuit, rather than the construction. Very little skill is required to assemble the components so making the kits suitable for all abilities.

Each kit requires 4 x AA batteries (not supplied).~~Primary kit|3103|~1254~2075~~
Primary Plus~The Cambridge Brainbox Primary Plus kit is for use in the home or the classroom and builds upon the skills developed using the primary kit but it could be used in its own right as a stepping-stone to Key Stage 3 and 4 electronics. With this kit you can learn about and design electric circuits to:The kit includes all the components from the Primary Kit and adds extra components such as an AM radio module, a touch sensor, a music module, a light sensitive switch, an amplifier etc.
Each kit requires 4 AA batteries (not supplied).~~Primary Plus|3102|~1254~2076~~
Explorer 2~Updated for 2008, now includes solar panel experiments. Learn about and design more complex electric circuits and devices with the Cambridge Brainbox Explorer 2 electronics kit. A manual showing over 900 experiments that can be built with the kit is provided. Each circuit diagram is colour coded and all components are numbered showing their position and orientation within the circuit. The kit includes software to connect to a computer and use it as an oscilloscope as well as all the components to make many items, including:
Each kit requires 4 x AA batteries (not supplied).~~Explorer 2|3101|~1254~10180~~
Glass Prism~A prism was used by Sir Isaac Newton to prove that white light is made up of different colours. This one is made from optical glass and can easily be used to demonstrate. Illuminating, fascinating and beautiful. 10+~~Glass Prism|9509|~1254~10184~~
Nightscope~Marvellous accessory for young explorers or nature detectives. The powerful monocular has a built-in light source, 7 times magnification and a 30 metre light spill. 6+~~Nightscope|9523|~1254~9723~~
Adventure Tool~For those important expeditions, almost everything you could need to find your way in one handy, stylish, silver gadget, which can be worn around the neck (quick release neck strap for safety). Includes LED light, compass, thermometer, whistle, storage compartment (map? coins? chocolate ?) and magnifier. 5+~~Adventure Tool|9520|~1254~7435~~
Bug Box Viewer~An opportunity to examine small creatures and insects in close-up. Strong perspex jar with wide neck and superior magnification from the lens top. 3+~~Bug Box Viewer|11154|~1254~10034~~
Zecar~A wacky, little machine, like a stripped down car. It has a pull back action, which stores power in the fly-wheel, enabling it to whizz across a room, climbing over small obstacles in its path and even keeping going if it overturns. All this fun and no batteries required! What's more, a proportion of the profit goes towards a reforestation project in Brazil. In assorted colours (the flywheel), one supplied. Packaged in a clear, acetate box. 6cm x 9cm x 6cm.~~Zecar|AJ02|~1254~10182~~
