Such a fun idea. My kids loved it! Such a fun way to get them outside and exploring. I have two girls and they now love to go out and aren’t afraid of different bugs anymore! I did receive this product free through hey bullseye.

This is perfect for your little explorer. If he or she loves the outdoors and is fascinated with insects or anything that has to do with nature, this is the perfect kit for them to start their awesome adventure. Both of my boys loved it, and there's plenty of items that it comes with so they don't have to fight over the same thing. And everything can easily be placed inside the backpack it comes with.

My daughter loves playing outside. She actually likes to put bugs and works in her pockets so this was the perfect toy for her. The flashlight actually works. There are several magnifying glasses which she enjoys looking around in the grass with. There are lots of pieces and a little netted enclosure to put the bugs in. She plays with it for hours. I highly recommend.

My youngest daughter loves the outdoors and anything bug related. She was so excited to open up this kit and get to bug collecting. There are lot of pieces and some really cool gadgets! Most of everything is of pretty good quality and they are functional. She loves the little scissor-like catcher, the butterfly cage, and all the plastic play bugs. She has had such an awesome time playing with this set. The flashlight isn't that bright but other than that, we have been happy with everything else. It's a good buy!

The perfect toddler bug kit! Not only could my toddler see what the bugs looked like in larger size, she was able to handle all of the tools. The kit included everything from plastic tweezers to a drawstring bag to keep in all in. She constantly is asking if we can go look at bugs now. Educational and entertaining, we love it!

As a teacher and Momma this kit is fun and educational. I teach first grade and sometimes find it difficult to find a new way to teach a science lesson. This kit was just what I needed. I took my students outside on a few fall days and we caught and released a few butterflies and ladybugs. It held their attention and imagination with the many items included. Made of quality and durable. The backpack is a plus. I highly recommend for educators and families.
Great explorers kit!

This is such a great little explorers kit! My little ones enjoy taking this outside on our nature walks and are excited to search for insects to inspect. This is also a great kit for the science area in a classroom!

I was going to wait until spring to give this to my nephews but we opened it and they played with it inside. They liked picking up the bugs with the net and scoop ball. On a nicer day we will go outside and see if we can catch the real thing. Everything packed up nicely and fit in the drawstring bag.
Excellent gift idea

This is a great set for little ones who live to explore bugs and their habitats. Comes with a lot of tools and some model insects. Everything can store conveniently in the drawstring backpack. The flashlight has a push button to turn on and will automatically turn off when released(no wastes batteries!) but there’s also a lock on it to keep it from turning off if needed. The habit although small, is very sturdy! I was really impressed with this kit.

Our five-year-old loves outdoor adventures and enjoyed playing with this kit. It's not really practical for actually capturing and observing bugs, but it is great for pretend play--indoors or out. I don't love that the plastic bugs are so big and don't fit in any of the kit's catchers. Regardless, it has provided my child entertainment for hours.
What a thoughtful outdoor set

We love to spend time outside and explore and this kit is perfect for outdoor adventures. It includes many thoughtful pieces. I especially loved showing them how a compass works, and having pieces like flashlight (not too bright thanks!) whistle, and magnifying glass. There are instructions to say catch this not that, which I found helpful for them. Many ways to catch bugs and keep them for observation before releasing. When they aren't outside looking for real bugs, they are pretending inside with the included fake ones! That's a nice touch for this set that the kids enjoy. They hide them then pretend to find them. All the pieces fit in tie bag. A very nice set for outdoor exploration.

The Nature Bound Outdoor Explorer kit is a nice set for curious kids. I like the variety of items included in the set such as a magnifying glass, plastic bugs, pop up habitat, flashlight and much more. The kit includes everything your little one could use to investigate bugs in the backyard or outdoors. If your little one is scared of bugs, you can just use the included toy bugs and create an adventure with those toys. The kit includes a drawstring backpack so you can toss everything in there to store it or take it on the go. Overall this is a fun toy for budding bug enthusiasts to explore nature.
We love this big catching set!

My 4 year old son absolutely loves this bug catching set. He is constantly asking me to go on a bug hunt with him. I love that it is an outdoor activity that we can do that is relatively calm and also educational. You get so many fun pieces with this set. You get two different "glass jars" (plastic containers) to look at the creatures you find. One of them even has a magnifying glass built into it. There are also tools such as a net and tweezers. Plus there are fun additions like a working compass. It also comes with oversized toy bugs which is fun because he can pretend to catch and study those. Everything can be stored in the nylon backpack that is included. We have studied bugs from our neighborhood and we have taken the set to local parks. My little guy feels like a true adventurer following his compass to find bugs and snails. We haven't been able to get a butterfly in the butterfly habitat yet, but that will be so fun. I definitely recommend this set for little explorers!
Family Fun with Bugs!

The Nature Bound Outdoor Explorer Backpack Kit is a fun addition to my kids toy selection, whether it's used indoors or outdoors. The toy bugs that come with the set are great for little imaginations, that may not be too keen on collecting live bugs (such as my toddler). Whereas, my older child enjoys utilizing the various tools to collect live bugs to study & then release. As a child, some of my fondest memories are catching lightning bugs & placing them into a special container, similar to the one in this set to study them & then release. I love that I can carry on this tradition with my own children.
A lot of Fun

This kit is great. It has a lot of activities to keep the kids interested and gives them lots of fun. It has everything you need to have an explorer rt adventure. This is someone a child can play Ali e or with several people. I like that it comes with a little backpack because it holds everything together when it isn’t being used.

This is a fun set for a child who loves exploring bugs and insects. The quality of the products within the set varies. Some things feel a bit cheap while others, like the clear container with the green lid, which has a magnifying glass attached to it, feels heavy and nice. This is a great starter set for a child to stay busy with for a good amount of time. I like that it includes different utensils to pick up the bugs and different containers to keep them captive.
Great kit

This kit is pretty awesome if you have kids that love bugs. I have two young boys so this kit has been great. It comes with so many different things for catching and holding bugs. The pop up net is probably their favorite.
