Good Quality and Fun
This is a pretty well-made vest with a variety of little tools. My 4-year-old daughter loves to play with it, inside and outside. It fits well and the tools are functional enough for a young child. Would recommend.

What a nice kit for your little naturalist! My son loved it and went outside to find bugs right away! It comes with a clipboard, magnifying glass, tweezers and a collection box for samples. It is a great way to get the little ones outside exploring and looking for things in their own backyard.

My grandson really enjoyed the naturalist vest playset. He's an environmentalist in the making and has a blast every time he plays with it. The playset comes with tools that are useful to their role play. Definitely inspires young minds .

Fun for young explorers
Cute and giftable: this is a fun explorer set for younger kids. The kit is good for imaginative play and being outside. There are laminated type cards to encourage a scavenger hunt in nature and different activities that are fun for kids. My 5 year old really enjoyed this set and will use it multiple times.

My kids were so excited to get this in the mail. It’s excellent quality, especially for the price. These kits are perfect for quarantine time to keep kids busy and learning at home.

My youngest two children love this Melissa & Doug set! We have a large front and back yard that has lots to do and see. The kids enjoyed using the magnifying glass to loom at flowers, grass, stuff from the harden, salamanders toads and more! Everything feels styrdy and will hold up and I love that the vest is washable because they got it very dirty in just their firsting outting with it.

Fun Toy to Get the Kids Outside
This is such a fun toy and a great addition to all of these days at home. All four of my kids immediately went on a nature walk to find the items in the scavenger hunts. This has been a toy that they've come back to day after day.

Fun outdoor play encouraged
This is an incredible little explorer vest. It comes with everything that you were little one might need including a magnifying glass, giant set of tweezers, inspectors badge, a shovel and even a collection kit and writing pad. It was a huge hit with our 4.5 year old! Peyton simply put it on and wanted to become a bug investigator outside! Highly recommend. Super well made and fantastic quality!
