scavenger hunt bag
Every budding naturalist needs proper gear—a sun hat, perhaps a pair of child-sized binoculars, and a
bag in which to gather specimens from the field for observation and display on the family nature table. The
Naturalist’s Scavenger Hunt Bag provides a comfortable, child-friendly way to store found objects, as it is
fastener-free and adjustable. Attach a set of scavenger hunt cards to the grommet on the strap and fill up
the pocket with mini clothespins. Once the child finds one of the objects in his set, show him how to mark it
as “found” with a mini clothespin.

reversible
play cape
Donning the Play Cape, a child transforms into Little Red Riding Hood, a member of the
royal court, or a butterfly. The limits for its uses are only in the imagination of the child.
Because it’s reversible, it’s even more versatile in a child’s play. The elastic loop-and-
button closure makes it easy to put on and take off, even for very young children. Hang it
from a peg on the wall for effortless storage.
