What better way to learn about science and collecting than to have kids get out in their own backyards? They can bring in what they find and tell us what they’ve been able to learn about it for “points” at Nature’s Trading Post. When they’ve saved up enough points, they can pick out a special scientific something to take home with them. Kids have their choice: everything from magnifying glasses to rocks and minerals, from fossils to an owl pellet!
Complete a scavenger hunt, earn points and trade them in for sharks teeth, minerals and more as you explore the world around you.
