WOODEN TEETHER Kids Explorer & Adventure Kit for Ages 4–8, Wooden Knot Board (7 Step Cards) & Scrapbook, with Binoculars, Compass & Magnifying Glass, STEM Nature Exploration Toy

Perfect gift for a little explorer!
Ok, this would make a charming gift! My son showed this set off to his grandparents the day after we received it and it melted hearts seeing him enjoy the yard in a whole new way! My little guy has been obsessed with bugs birds and planes, so we had a blast using the binoculars and magnifying glass to investigate. The binoculars do not have any dials for adjustment, but my son doesn’t mind! I tested them out and it was effective for seeing up a treetop or seeing a plane low overhead 🙂 The compass looks like magic to him, and he loves watching it; he’s 2yo so we will explain later. The knots will have to wait for later but he liked watching the “big kids” try it out. The stickers are adorable designs too! My only gripe there is that they’re not going to stay on that cotton bag like the advertising picture; they’re normal adhesive stickers that are better suited to go on smooth surfaces, not fabric. Our stickers are decorating our play table indoors currently. The wood items also could use some DIY finish/oil; I will be adding the mineral oil that I use for my wooden utensils onto them. I live somewhere rainy so I need to have some water-protection added to survive fall and winter 🙂 I appreciate that it’s unfinished wood; simple and allows you to paint or finish as you like 🙂 The booklet looks like it would work well with sharpie or dry-erase pens. We have yet to try it but it looks like a great conversation starter and great for little backyard lessons. All of the pieces fit nicely into the included cotton bag, and the strings can function as backpack straps for little-ones. All in all I recommend! This would make such a great gift for the outdoorsy parent and kiddo!

Ages 6-10 probably, Age 5 maybe, Age 4 unlikely
I mean, a 4 year old might like the stickers but are they really going to tie knots? I have no idea why this fun outdoorsy thing is called “wooden teether” either. BUT – it is fun and it is cool – I suppose it is meant to span many ages? Will older kids get annoyed that the kit is called “Trail Tots”? Smaller kids will enjoy the binoculars – they don’t magnify, but they’re nicely made and kind create this monoscope effect. Anyone can use a hand lens, but the compass will only make sense to an older child (there really aren’t any instructions for how to use the compass though.) Kids of all ages will enjoy learning knots – the cards have simple instructions and when you can’t be outdoors because the weather is awful, practice knots indoors! There’s a little sticker scrapbook included. The information about the creatures was okay, but that really might depend on where in the world you’re using this kit. I did really like the cotton canvas string backpack to keep everything in – I could easily see my granddaughter and me hiking along and stopping to check out ants and centipedes and birds and lichen and tree bark and stuff.
